Abstract: |
In the 1830s a new stableyard was constructed a short distance to the north of the house and the north range from this has also recently been severely damaged in a fire. The National Trust will restore this structure, which has been partially gutted, and prior to this work they have commissioned Oxford Archaeology to undertake historic building investigation and recording. Prior to the recent fire the exterior of the building remained close to its original form but some alterations had been undertaken to the interior, partly relating to a phase of re-use during the Second World War. This phase of the stableyard was one of the most interesting aspects of the building's history because it was reused by the Auxiliary Units, a highly secretive organization which would have formed an important part of Britain's resistance in the event of a Nazi invasion. |
