Abstract:		 In December 2016 historic building recording was carried out at the former Norman King Public House Church Street, Dunstable, Bedfordshire as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. The burnt out remains of the building stand on a site that was utilised in the Roman period and may once have been part of the grounds of a royal residence built by Henry I in the early 12th century.. It is thought that the site may have once been part of a royal residence built by Henry I that was later granted to the priory. Historic and cartographic evidence along with fabric analysis suggest the stone built section on the street frontage may well have been rebuilt in the late 18th century when the post-medieval farmhouse, known as Kingsbury, of which this was an outbuilding, underwent major redevelopment. There is late medieval and 18th century timberwork in the east range, which was clearly heavily rebuilt in the 20th century. Whether the timberwork was introduced as part of the rebuilding is uncertain. The surviving building fabric is varied and includes Totternhoe Stone, including a re-used block of moulded stone, late medieval and 18th century timberwork, 20th century brickwork and reproduction lancet windows and plank and batten doors. There are no medieval features within the building, and the medieval building fabric that survives appears largely to have been re-used in the post-medieval period.
