Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Jonathon Rhind Architects (the Agent) on behalf of a private client to carry out a historic building appraisal of the Grade II Listed Challice Gate Cottage and Honey Cottage, Lapford, Devon. This work was undertaken ahead of submitting a Listed Building Consent application for proposed alterations and repair works. This range of cottages is Listed as mid-18th century in date but are demonstrably earlier, with an early 17th century core extended to each end. The 17th century structure supplies few clues but its large fireplace and double ovens hints at a possible communal function, or its origin as a two-cell, rather than the more commonplace three-cell, building. It was subsequently extended and in the mid-19th century bought by the owners of the Lapford Academy, a small private boarding school that operated from 1859 to 1908. It seems likely the range provided accommodation for the staff rather than the boarders, and after 1908 was tenanted externally. |
