Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In March 2016, AS conducted historic building recording and monitoring and recording at Orchard Cottage, Green End, Dane End, Ware, Hertfordshire. The project was commissioned in order to fulfil a condition of listed building consent for extension and refurbishment. Orchard Cottage and its outbuilding, along with Lordship Cottage adjoining, comprises a deceptively complex arrangement with a varied history resulting from early division, perhaps as early as the 18th century, into two properties. The historic core of Orchard Cottage is the north-west bay of a 17th century lobby-entry house. Lobby-entry houses are commonly of this date and the brickwork of the large stack, framing and formerly hidden mullion window are all consistent with a date in the mid-later 17th century. In addition to the mullion window, features of note include the use of robust primary-braced framing and the survival of some original panel infill as opposed to lath and plaster. Almost all the timber-work utilised in the cottage and outbuilding is reused from an earlier, medieval context. This cell of the historic building does not appear to have been heated originally, but the presence in the outbuilding of a massive chimney stack of seemingly contemporary date may indicate a utilitarian service range. An early 18th century phase is visible, while brick extensions were added in the 19th and 20th centuries. The 20th century saw the building denuded of most fixtures and fittings, making the mullion window and fine early 18th century display cupboard of the greatest significance.
