Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) undertook an assessment of two rooms in a small building at the front of the Two Lions Inn, Great Dockray, Penrith, Cumbria. A planning application (planning reference 3/05/0956) for internal and external alterations to the Two Lions, and demolition of a nineteenth century extension to the rear of the building had previously been submitted to Eden District Council. These proposals were part of a wider redevelopment scheme on land adjacent to Southend Road (planning reference 3/05/0954), which included a superstore with associated car parking as the central feature, together with housing and retail units. This wider scheme was subject to a desk-based assessment (OA North 2005a) which highlighted the potential significance of the Grade II* Listed Two Lions Public House, leading on to a basic assessment of the Two Lions Inn (OA North 2005b) and a subsequent more detailed desk-based assessment and investigation of the building (OA North 2006). Rooms 10 and 15, adjacent to the Two Lions, although part of the Two Lions Listing, were omitted from the 2006 building survey due to restricted access. The original scheme was halted in late 2007 following the collapse of funding. A revised planning proposal, on behalf of J Sainsbury PLC is currently being assessed and, as part of the revised scheme, internal alterations are proposed for Rooms 10 and 15, which would require an application for Listed Building consent. In order to facilitate this application, an assessment of the Rooms was necessary. The building investigation revealed that there are certain features within Rooms 10 and 15 of architectural or historical interest. The general nature of some of those features, particularly within Room 15 suggests that the building dates to at least the eighteenth century. |
