Abstract: |
Small scale recording was undertaken at Malvern Museum of the base of a timber Jamb which forms part of the Historic Priory Gatehouse which had become structurally unsound and required partial replacement. Two contrasting profiles / sections were produced in order to illustrate the degree of erosion / damage to the timber and a watching brief was undertaken to investigate the foundation of the Jamb. The base of the timber had been repeatedly struck by motor vehicles prior to the gatehouse being pedestrianised and this, in conjunction with a degree of rotting due to water retention had rendered the jamb structurally unsound. The effected portion of the timber was removed by a specialist conservation building firm and the ground immediately under the jamb excavated under archaeological supervision. It was found that the jamb was jointed by a tenon into a single stone slab with a mortice slot cut into it. No finds or dating evidence was recovered. |
