Abstract:		 In January 2014, AS conducted historic building recording at The Black Horse Public House, Wootton, Bedfordshire followed by monitoring during soft-strip and demolition of the property with additional recording carried out to augment the existing record. The building has been much altered and modernised so that no early fixtures and fitting survives and many diagnostic features are lost. However, following the removal of modern internal elements and observation during demolition the general phases were discernible. Evidence suggests the building originated as a modest two-bay timber-framed house, floored from the outset with the upper floor partially housed in the roof space. Surviving diagnostic features include the butt-purlin roof, a roof type common in Bedfordshire in the 17th and 18th centuries as well as the use of primary-braced studwork. These characteristics, when considered with the use of oak and infill panels of wattle and daub, suggests a date for construction in the early 17th century, though possibly a slightly wider date range is possible. Most timber-framing at lower level as well as the infill panels at upper level were replaced in brick in the 18th century. At least by 1830, the building was converted for use as a beerhouse, perhaps coinciding with the additional bay extension to the north, while subsequently the rear roof was raised and the building given a pent-roofed extension. Further modifications were made in the early 20th century when, in 1912, under the tenure of Charles Wells, a taller hipped-roofed range was added to the south. Later 20th century alterations saw the building denuded of almost all historic features with modern extensions added to the rear.
