Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In December 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook historic building recording and monitoring at Pearse House, Parsonage Lane, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire . The works were carried out as part of a planning condition in advance of/during the proposed demolition of the former stables, coach house and modern educational buildings to make way for the construction of 10 new dwellings, while Pearse House is to be converted into 12 apartments. Technical analysis reveals a typically mid-Victorian mansion dating to 1878. Once set within extensive grounds, development has now encroached on all sides. Despite institutional use, the building retains many of its original features, including external decorative elements in the broad Arts and Crafts idiom such as stone and brick in combination, fictive timber-framing and tile-hanging. Internal features include Minton tiles, pressed lincrusta decoration, moulded cornices, and many fine quality fireplaces. Several windows retain original patterned leaded glazing incorporating coloured glass set in geometric patterns. The stable range to the north was largely been rebuilt in the 1990s, although the north-east wing, built in 1900, survives and reflects the overall design of the house. Its conversion to modern hotel accommodation has left its original layout indiscernible with the majority of fixtures and fittings now lost.
