Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for proposed alterations to Ivy Cottage, Ulverston, Cumbria, Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a heritage assessment for the property, which is a Grade II Listed building. This provides suitable information about the history of the building so that a better understanding of its development can be obtained, which can then be used to assess its significance. The documentary evidence is relatively limited for the early history of the property, which is considered to be of 16th century origin, although the nearby Sir John Barrow Cottage, which is broadly similar, was recently dated by dendrochronology to the late 16th century. Map evidence demonstrates that it existed in essentially its current form by at least the middle of the 19th century, with the outshut on the west end added in the 1830s. It is difficult to identify the owners and occupiers until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, although it evidently formed two dwellings and was apparently called ‘Four Yews’ at one time. A site visit revealed that although recently modernised it still has an original cruck frame and the large parts of the original roof structure as well as elements associated with doorways, including the two front doors, although these are in need of repair. It is apparent that the earliest part of the structure is the east end, which comprised a small two-room 1½ storey cottage, which was extended to the west with a two-storey single bay addition. As a Grade II Listed building, the building is statutorily protected and of local significance. While detail of the proposals is not yet known and the building has been already been extensively modernised there is the potential to impact the original fabric, although some areas, such as the front doors, are in need of renovation and this should ultimately be beneficial.
