Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An English Heritage Level 2 Historic Building Survey of the coach house at the Old Rectory, Beeby was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services, during works to convert the building into a domestic residence. The coach house is a brick building of three bays and two storeys, with a further single storey bay located at the eastern end of the range. The roof is hipped and covered in Swithland slate tiles. The survey has indicated that the coach house is probably contemporary with the Rectory, constructed during the 18th century and comprising a work-shop and trap-house at ground floor level, with heated accommodation and unheated storage above. Within the single-storey bay is a coachman's or groom's sitting room, with quarry tiled floor and cast-iron hob-grate fireplace, with a loose-box for a single horse located to the rear. An archaeological watching brief carried out during the reduction of internal ground levels revealed a series of brick drains which were possibly contemporary with the building, in addition to the remains of a cobbled surface which may pre-date its construction. Sherds of pottery recovered from the make-up layers beneath the brick paviour floors that were removed during the groundworks, consisted largely of 18th-19th century Earthenwares and Stonewares. A second programme of archaeological watching brief carried out during groundworks associated with the construction of a new stable block and manège in an adjacent field revealed the well-preserved ridge and furrow earthwork remains of medieval strip cultivation. A single, unstratified sherd of medieval pottery was retrieved from the subsoil but no archaeological deposits were revealed. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council HER, under Accession Number X.A89.2010.
