Abstract: |
Between July and September 2005 ASC undertook a historic building recording/watching brief at All Saint's Church, Croydon, Cambridgeshire as part of the requirements of an English Heritage Grant awarded in order to restore the nave roof. The roof is a trussed rafter type roof with additional timbers attached to the main A frame to provide catslide roofs for the aisles. The main frame, which appears to be no later than c.1300 is suffering significant racking. The building is also suffering quite extensive lateral movement due, in part, to the removal of the original tiebeams, possibly when the wagon style plaster ceiling was inserted in the post-medieval period. The first attempt to halt the subsequent spread was probably in the 18th century when two new tiebeams were inserted. Several major restoration projects have taken place since then to counter episodes of serious deterioration of the fabric. |
