Abstract: |
As the result of an archaeological condition on planning consent for alterations to the house and outbuildings at Hare Street Cottage, Hare Street, Hormead, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned to create a record of the buildings and to undertake archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. The property comprises a Grade II listed cottage of 16th century date, a timber barn and a mid 20th century air raid shelter. Cartographic and historic evidence indicates that it underwent a series of alterations between 1806 and 1877, with the remodelling and refacing of the cottage and the replacement of an earlier outbuilding by a larger 2-celled structure. The 1st edition OS map of 1877 shows that the rear cell was used as a Wesleyan Methodist chapel. This has since been demolished, leaving the present 5-bay barn. The recording of the barn has demonstrated that it was constructed from re-used timbers, probably from the earlier structure on the site. Ground reduction within the barn revealed the base of a brick partition towards the western end. A number of brick-built structures were encountered on the western side of the partition. These included a semi-circular feature related to a blocked opening in the south wall and a possible tank, which appeared to pre-date the west wall of the barn. |
