Abstract:
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Isherwood McCann Ltd to undertake an archaeological historic building assessment of an outbuilding at The Water Tower, The Drive, Countesthorpe, Leicestershire. It is proposed that the outbuilding be renovated and joined to a new build on the footprint of an adjacent demolished building, forming a single new residential unit. The outbuilding is within the curtilage of a Grade II Listed building. This assessment has confirmed that the outbuilding was originally built as two separate buildings, the larger of the two (Building B), is contemporary with the water tower and boilerhouse, and shares some of their design characteristics while the smaller building (Building A) is a later addition. Building A has undergone considerable alterations and as a result very little of the original building remains. Building B, on the other hand has remained largely untouched and unaltered. The proposed work should preserve the historically significant elements and secure the survival of the building in its original context. The archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council, Accession No X.A96.2010.
