Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by Oakford Archaeology at Wallon, Drewsteignton, Devon, between March and May 2014. The works involved the removal of concrete floors in the hall, cross-passage, parlour and kitchen. Wallon House is a small, former farmhouse lying a short distance to the east of the village of Drewsteignton, its size reflecting a large and prosperous farming establishment. The layout of the house perpetuates that of an earlier house which was probably first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the early 16th century. The property was extensively refurbished in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Further changes and alterations were undertaken during the 19th and 20th centuries. The removal of concrete floors in the parlour exposed elements of an earlier cobbled surface in the parlour and a wall in the service kitchen. The flooring and wall are likely to be part of the early 18th century phase, when the longhouse was extensively refurbished and the original shippon divided into a parlour and a small service kitchen built at the east end. |
