Abstract: |
All alterations to the building that impact on the historic fabric or expose previously hidden structural and/or architectural material were monitored by an experienced archaeologist, who also prepared an initial photographic survey of the roof. The recording was undertaken to Historic England Level 3-4. • A written record was made of each site visit using KDK’s Historic Building Restoration Sheet. • These records were accompanied by sketches. • In addition, a photographic record was maintained throughout the watching brief. • The recording was based on drawings made available by the client’s agent. The Hayloft was previously known as the Stable Block and served as the stables for Wendover Manor House. It was built in the early-mid 18th century and was converted to a school in 1961. It is primarily timber framed and is faced in brickwork. The work necessitated the removal of clay roof tiles and the exposure of the timber roof structure. Many of the original timbers remain, including the trusses, some purlins and a great number of the rafters. These bore significant details such as carpenter’s marks and iron strap braces. Many of the timbers likely date to at least the 17th century and were repurposed from an older structure for use in the Hayloft. There was also a significant quantity of modern replacement rafters, probably added when the school was founded in the mid-20th century |
