Abstract:		 Aims As described in the Written Scheme of Investigation (Shlasko 2019), the aims of the project were: • To compile a record of the buildings prior to development • To examine the structural history and development of the building in relation to its historical and geographical context • To ensure the archaeological recording of all aspects of the development programme likely to have an impact on the historic fabric of the building before and during the works • To provide sufficient information on the historic and architectural significance of the building that will place the findings of the investigations in their local and regional context • To provide a report that meets the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework • To establish the date, nature and extent of activity or occupation within the development area • To establish the relationship of any remains found to the surrounding contemporary landscape • To recover palaeo-environmental remains to determine local environmental conditions. Methods The work was carried out according to the Written Scheme of Investigation (Section 2.1), which required: • A programme of historic building recording to Historic England Level 3 (HE 2016). • A watching brief on building works involving significant disturbance to the historic fabric of the building/s. Summary of fieldwork results: Between August 2019 and August 2020 KDK Archaeology Ltd carried out Historic Building Recording, an Historic Building Watching Brief and an Archaeological Watching Brief on Abdale House/Northside, 32-34 Warrengate Road, North Mymms, Hertfordshire during the conversion of the property to a single residence. Abdale House appears to have originally been a hall house with crosswings the earliest possibly dating from the 14th century. The eastern crosswing dates from c.1600 but the central section originally housing the hall is not easy to date having been completely rebuilt in the late 19th century. Northside was built at much the same time as the eastern crosswing and extended in the 18th century, possibly as a larger building programme including the extension of the eastern crosswing and the addition of some smaller service rooms to the south of the building. The building was extensively rebuilt in the late 19th century. Historically the building is known for housing a radio station for the Polish Air Force and housing some members of the Polish government in exile during the Second World War.
