Abstract: |
No. 56 East Street; the former Red Lion public house, appears to date from the 14th or 15th century. The building was significantly altered during the 18th and 19th centuries with much of the north elevation, and parts of the south, rebuilt or raised in brick and the structure reroofed. The corbelled fireplace in the eastern room of the main north range (G2) is not unique within Ashburton, it is probably 16th century in date, and may have had a decorative plaster overmantle added in the 17th century. The former opening in the back of the fireplace may date from the 18th or 19th century and relate to the construction of a large oven to the south, in the present position of the kitchen. To the south of the main range, there may have been a rear wing or detached block to the west suggested by changes in build in the west wall and a rubble stone wall to the east of the modern toilet block. A substantial level of truncation and made-ground was revealed within the excavated services and footing trenches. Two significant features were identified within the footing trench; a pit and a wall. The pit produced no dateable evidence but it respected and is most-likely approximately contemporary of the medieval south wall of the main range. The buried wall was probably part of a post-medieval (17th century?) phase to The Red Lion removed during the 19th and 20th century modifications to the layout of the building. |
