Abstract: |
CBAS Ltd was commissioned to carry out a standing building survey conforming to an English Heritage Level 3 survey at 224, High Street, Lewes, East Sussex. The Grade II listing of 224 High Street describes it as an early 18th century timber framed house which is now a shop, however, during the course of this survey no evidence for any timber framing could be seen. The only timbers that were noted were in the ceiling of the southern end of the ground floor shop. It therefore seems very likely that the current building is the same as that shown in the 18th century drawings, but it has been altered significantly leaving virtually no features of the original house visible to see today. Although no evidence was found for a timber-framed structure, it may be that this evidence has been hidden within the plastered and panelled walls, and was therefore simply not visible at the time of the survey. It is therefore suggested that any alterations being made to the building are archaeologically monitored so that any further evidence for the origins and history of the building can be recorded. |
