Abstract:		 Summary In February 2015, AS carried out historic building monitoring and recording at Dane Farmhouse, Bower Heath Lane, Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The work was conducted in order to fulfil a condition of planning consent for the conversion of the loft space and followed on from, and enhanced, an appraisal conducted in March 2011 at the property. The farmhouse retains its mid-19th century appearance and is a typical example of a modest Victorian domestic structure, but internal modification has been comprehensive, leaving little of its original historic integrity intact. Associated buildings which once complemented the original farmyard complex have been converted to residential use. In 2012 following the initial survey, the house was augmented at the north-east corner with an extension and linking unit that saw a small modern boiler room and window removed under a separate planning consent application. The monitoring programme saw the exposure of the floor joists at the east end of the roof space, as well as a number of common rafters. The exposed fabric is consistent with the mid-19th century roof structure including slender softwood rafters rising over the purlin and slender thin-section floor joists, some of which appear replaced. No assembly markings, graffiti, or trade marks were found on any of the timbers.
