Abstract:		 In November 2008 Archaeological Solutions carried out a programme of historic building recording at the former Peter Kirk School building in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex. The purpose of the work was to investigate and clarify the origins and development of the existing building prior to residential conversion, as well as accurately recording the building in its current state. Both historic research and physical analysis has established a good record of the history of the building, which began as a British School. The main range is dated by a doundation stone to 1862 and is typical of many mid- and later-Victorian school buildings with tall windows in yellow gault bricks. Later additions include tall chimney stacks and a smaller rear range, which was added in almost identical style. Comprehensive remodelling of the interior in the recent past makes it difficult to establish the original layout, though the window pattern suggests one or two large classrooms, open to an exposed roof and rooms for the school teachers behind. This is confirmed by estensive documentary evidence which suggesta fluid arrangement with movable partitions. Overall, the materials are robust and decoration fairly restrained, congruous with a building constructed on a modest budget, but adhering to the architectural fashions of the day.
