Abstract:		 Between June and October 2017 AS conducted historic building monitoring and recording during planned works at 18-20 St Peter's St, Bedford. The project was commissioned in order to fulfil a condition of planning consent to refurbish the ground floor restaurant and bar, rebuild and extend the first and second floor rear ranges and create residential dwellings. This followed on from a previous historic building assessment conducted by AS (Collins and Henry 2015). The monitoring and recording built on the evidence observed during the 2015 survey but allowed additional evidence to be observed. Background research provided context for the recording which correlates well to the physical evidence. The building as a whole consisted of a series of timber-framed ranges; two inline street front ranges and two extending to the rear. Beyond, were modern extensions. The entire building has suffered repeated phases of remodelling, rebuilding and replacement throughout the 20th century so that only incomplete elements survive and no fixtures and fittings. The primary range is of early 18th century date, with the west range of a similar but somewhat later date having been constructed against the pre-existing structure. A rear range attached to the west range is possibly contemporary, while a second rear range added in the re-entrant angle is of a number of phases of 18th or 19th century date. The early 20th century saw the ground floor frontage of No. 20 removed for the accommodation of a wide shop front, at which point the building was occupied by a tailor's shop. Throughout the later 20th century, the building was subject to numerous changes which have had a harsh and deleterious impact on the historic building, leading to the loss of all historic fixtures and fittings, and joinery details as well as much of the structural fabric leaving the historic significance of the building surviving only in outline.
