Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Republica Ltd, on behalf of EI Group, to produce a historic building record of the roof at The Hare and Hounds, 104 Sopwell Lane, St. Albans, AL1 1RL. Conditional listed building consent was granted for the repair and replacement of roof timbers and provision of additional purlins to roof to support the rafters. The Hare and Hounds comprises a Grade II listed public house, situated on the south side of Sopwell Lane in central St Albans. It is a two-storey building, aligned approximately east-west along the street front and has a gabled roof, with an extension to the east end, an extension returning to the south and a further single-storey extension on the eastern end. The National Heritage List for England description suggests a date of 17th century and available historic mapping confirms that it existed by 1721. The roof above the main part of the property comprises a typical queen strut arrangement of 17th - early 18th century date which has had two phases of expansion. It has a large brick chimney within the centre of the west three bays, which are likely to have formed the earliest part of the building. Laths and plasterwork were added to the roofspace, probably during the 18th century, to form a garret. Two bays were then added to the east during the late 18th-early 19th century and repairs made using sawn softwood timber. A record equivalent to Level 3-4 (Historic England 2016) of the roofspace was required by the St Albans City and District Council's Conservation Officer, in order to satisfy Condition 3 of the Listed Building Consent. The building recording took place on 12th September 2017 and comprised metric survey, a photographic record and a written account. |
