Abstract: |
On 28th July 2010, Oxford Archaeology East conducted a historical building survey at Eastwood House, a Late Regency/Early Victorian villa which until recently was part of the Neale Wade Community College, March. The site is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and is the subject of planning consent for demolition as part of the redevelopment of the entire college site. This piece of work is part of the ongoing archaeological investigations being undertaken by Oxford Archaeology East since 2009 and expected to continue into 2011. Since the building has been in use as a school, most of the original features such asfireplaces had been removed. All of the original windows had been replaced and internal partition walls inserted to create smaller rooms. Despite these alterations, a number of interesting and original features remained in the building including moulded door frames and original doors on the first floor, an impressive tiled front entrance, original hinged window boxes, moulded ceiling cornices and a decorative dog-leg staircase with half landing, long, elegant turned balusters and carved brackets under each tread-end. |
