| Abstract: |
The purpose of the building recording is to comply with requirements of paragraph 199 of the NPPF (2019) which requires ‘developers to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part) in a manner proportionate to their importance and the impact’ (NPPF, 2019).
The building recording comprised an internal and external observation of the areas of Pell Wall Hall that are to be subjected to development to produce a photographic, drawn and written record. Photographs were taken, with a graduated scale, in digital format, of all external elevations and internal rooms (where safe to access), including structural architectural details, details of fixtures and fittings, and more general views showing the structure in its existing context. In summary, the photographic survey includes:
• A general view or views of Pell Wall Hall (in its wider setting or landscape);
• The external appearance of the former basement and extant vaulted cellar;
• Where possible, the overall appearance of the extant vaulted cellar;
• Any external or internal detail, structural or decorative, which is relevant to the building’s design, development and use with scale where appropriate.
2.3.3 The written record comprises:
• A contents list and a list of illustrations or figures;
• A site location plan, related to the national grid;
• The dates on which the project was undertaken;
• A description of the methodology employed;
• A note on the statutory designation;
• Written description of the area to be developed, including form and development;
• The project OASIS reference number;
• Copies of historic maps, drawings, views or photographs illustrating the development of the building (with permission of owners or copyright holders where relevant);
• Plans at appropriate scales and inclusive of co-ordinates;
• Full bibliographic and other references, or a list of the sources consulted. Pell Wall Hall is deemed to be of significant historical interest and is a Grade II* Listed Building (NHLE 1190426). It was designed by prominent architect Sir John Soane and is situated within the Grade II registered park and garden of the same name (NHLE 1001402). Pell Wall Hall represents the last completed domestic house designed by Sir John Soane. The extent of alteration to the basement has been extensive since the construction of Soane’s design between 1822 and 1828 and discerning the chronological development of this area from the extant remains is challenging. It is evident that the alterations to Pell Wall Hall between 1861 and 1880 demolished almost all of the original basement fabric. Of the exposed fabric of the south-eastern elevation, only small patches of original brickwork and potentially the head of the original central segmentally arched entrance survive.
Soane’s original vaulted cellar survives as the only remnant of the former range of domestic offices. |
