Abstract:		 An archaeological building survey and watching brief was carried out by Oakford Archaeology between February and December 2016, at No 40 The Strand, Topsham, Devon. No 40 The Strand is an important, if unconventional, historic house lying on the east side of a number of historic wharfs and quays on the Strand. The large size and architectural features of the property reflect a large and prosperous mercantile establishment in the 17th to the 18th centuries, and subsequent decline, partial demolition and rebuilding, followed by subdivision during the later 18th and 19th centuries. Evidence from the building recording and, in particular, the excavations within the higher garden, suggest perhaps an earlier date for the house than has generally been postulated for similar buildings on The Strand. The house was probably first constructed in the mid-17th century. By the late 17th century No 40 The Strand had become a building of some pretension, as is attested by the presence of two elaborate painted plaster fireplace decorations, which must have been a showpiece in the main front room. By the beginning of the 18th century much of the original building was altered and rebuilt, with further alterations to the house carried out in the late 18th or early 19th century, at which time the building appears to have been in decline. Despite many later alterations, the building remains substantially as it was at this time. During the late 19th and 20th century the interior of the house was substantially altered.
