Abstract: |
Planning consent for conversion of the Old School Room, Wollaston, Northamptonshire for residential use included a condition requiring a programme of archaeological building recording. The building is a single cell, single storey building in limestone with a corrugated iron gabled roof with an axial internal stack at the north end of the building. Access is via doors in the east and west sides and the south end. It is lit by two windows in the west side. Internally it has a single fireplace with a cast iron surround at the north end and built in shelves and cupboards to either side of the chimney breast. Two tie-beams are visible beneath a plastered ceiling which obscures the rest of the roof structure. The building was converted for use as a school room in the later nineteenth century No features associated with the original function of the building were identified but it is likely that the building would have been used for storage of agricultural products or animal housing. It occupied the west side of a yard area associated with other agricultural buildings to the north and was located on the eastern edge of the village. |
