Abstract:		 The farm building at Polglaze farm was last used as a milking parlour and lies within the curtilage of the farmhouse which is a Grade II Listed Building. The building has not been used for many years and has gradually fallen into a state of disrepair with two of its roofs now missing. Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent with conditions have now been given for the conversion and extension of the former milking parlour into a dwelling (Planning Application Nos: PA19/08475 and PA19/08476). Condition 4 of the Listed Building Consent require a programme of archaeological work to be carried out in accordance with a WSI (Written Scheme of Investigation). The Senior Development Officer (Historic Environment) has requested that the programme for this work should comprise a historic building record (equivalent to a Historic England level 2/3 building survey) prior to any alterations. The requirements for building recording were determined by Peter Dudley, Senior Development Officer (Historic Environment, Cornwall Council) and are outlined in the Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) prepared by CAU (see Appendix 2). The principal aim of the study is to create a detailed record and gain a better understanding of the building. The objectives are to: • Produce an accurate record of the building along with its fabric, fixtures and fittings (Level 2 or 3 as appropriate and as defined by Historic England 2016). • Create a phased historic development for the building. • Outline any features and fittings which are of high significance. All recording work was undertaken according to Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) (CIfA 2014) and Historic England (2016) guidance. During the desk-based assessment historical databases and archives were consulted in order to obtain information about the history of the site and the structures and features that were likely to survive. The main sources consulted were as follows: • Cornwall HER; via publicly available data • Images of England online listed buildings database • Early maps and photographs (see Section 8.1) • Published histories (see Section 8.2) • Websites (see Section 8.3) The equivalent of a Level 2/3 Building Survey (as defined by Historic England 2016) was produced. Recording included a room by room description with external and internal architectural features and detail annotated to copies of existing measured external elevations and floor plans supplied by the client. Analysis of the fabric was undertaken on site (recorded as notes) to allow a description to be written up at the archive report stage. Photographic recording included colour photography using a digital SLR camera (with a resolution of 10 million pixels or higher). The images were uploaded to the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) to form the archive (see Appendix 1). CAU follows Historic England guidance on digital image capture and file storage (2014). The photo record comprised: • General views. • All external elevations. • All internal room spaces. • Examples of structural and architectural detail. A metric scale was included in all views, except where health and safety considerations make this impractical. All site materials were prepared for long term storage. This included: • Finalisation of measured drawings and photograph location plan. • Archiving of drawings, photographs, paperwork and digital files. • Filing of digital colour photographs and limited image editing (eg, composition, lighting) where appropriate. • Creation of an archive report. • Completion of the Historic England OASIS record (online access to archaeological investigations). • Preparation of CAU archive.
