Abstract:		 Following the submission of a planning application for the proposed conversion of a disused coach house to the rear of Mansergh House in Borwick, Lancashire, into ancillary accommodation, Greenlane Archaeology carried out a heritage assessment in 2020. This charted the history of the building and its development based on documentary sources and a site visit. Listed Building Consent for the proposed alterations was granted on the proviso that a record of the building be made beforehand. This report details the archaeological building recording carried by Greenlane Archaeology on 29th April 2022. The origins of Mansergh House are uncertain, although a collection of documents held in the archives refer to properties forming part of the ‘Mansergh Charity’ as early as 1577. The charity was founded from a bequest by Thomas Mansergh in 1700 (or 1801) of various properties in Borwick, and was intended to raise revenue for the training of local apprentices. The house is thought to be late 18th century and the map evidence shows that the coach house had certainly been built by the middle of the 19th century. The building recording was able to identify four phases of development within the building, from an initial small structure of perhaps 17th or 18th century date, which might have had a domestic function, and which was raised in height when it was made into a coach house in the late 18th or early 19th century. This was sub-divided into a number of rooms with a hay loft over connected to the stalls below by chutes incorporated into the stalls. A later monopitch addition was added to the north end, probably in the 1840s and to provide an additional cart shed. The building has remained remarkably untouched since that time, with only relatively minor repairs and other alterations in the 20th century. While the building is of relatively low significance in itself its association with the Grade II Listed Mansergh House and associations with the Mansergh Charity make it of more importance locally. It has also seen a much more complex process of development than might be expected in such a small structure, and has an extremely well-preserved interior. The proposed development would help to preserve the building by providing a new use
