Abstract: |
In 2019, an Historic Building Watching Brief was undertaken at Wheathampstead Place, Station Road to fulfil a condition of Listed Building Consent for remedial works to the west and south elevations. The timberwork that was revealed during the remedial works was of close studding of extremely robust scantling with external bracing and evidence for wattle and daub infill that was later replaced by lath and plaster. Timber mullioned windows were exposed in the main range and the south elevation of the cross wing where a timber casement was later installed within one of the earlier window frames. Historic and modern building repairs and alterations were recorded, one of the most interesting being the heightening of the cross wing. Tree ring dating gave a construction date of 1453 for the main range and a tentative date range of 1447-79 for the cross wing. Internal and external structural features suggest that both the main range and the cross wing date from the mid-late 15th century. |
