| Abstract: |
The Historic Building Recording was guided in its composition by the Standard and guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, 2020). The building recording was undertaken to Level 2 standards as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice (HE, 2016). The key objectives of the Historic Building Recording were to produce a concise description of the buildings, and to produce a record of the buildings prior to their integration within the approved development. The recording exercise included a general record of the buildings in their current state and included the following elements: • The completion of a photographic survey, to Historic England Level 2 standards; • Detailed recording of any structural features that are of significance; and, • The production of building phase plans, establishing an accurate record of the historic development of the buildings, informed by historic cartographic sources, planning history and the building inspection. Level 2 Building recording methodology The building recording comprises a Level 2 record as set out in the Historic England publication Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice (2016) and the approved WSI (CA 2022). Further relevant guidance comprises the Standard and guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (CIfA 2020). A Level 2 building record is defined by Historic England as a ‘descriptive record’. as follows: ‘This is a descriptive record, …. Both the exterior and interior of the building will be seen, described and photographed. The examination of the building will produce an analysis of its development and use and the record will include the conclusions reached, but it will not discuss in detail the evidence on which this analysis is based. A plan and sometimes other drawings may be made but the drawn record will normally not be comprehensive and may be tailored to the scope of a wider project.’ Level 2 Drawn record • A site plan showing the location of the buildings; • Any other illustrations to support the historical analysis (such as mapping or annotated structural drawings); and, • Annotated plans, elevations and/or sketch drawings which illustrate features, fittings and fabric including structural features including phasing and photographic location points. Level 2 Photographic record • A digital SLR camera was used with a sensor of a minimum of 20 megapixels • General and specific views of the buildings internally and externally and their relationship to the wider site; • Detailed shots of features, fabric and fixtures, both internally and externally using a photographic scale; and, • Note: Some files may be converted to .jpeg format for use in the report, but original RAW or TIFF versions will be maintained in the project archive. Appropriate levels of Metadata will be maintained and included in the digital archive following the approach set out in the aforementioned guidance. Level 2 Written record • The buildings’ location; • The dates of the record and the name of the recorder; • A summary of the buildings’ and site’s historic and architectural context, based upon the site inspection and the available Heritage Statement by RPS Group as well as any relevant online documentary research; and, • Descriptive commentary and analysis of structures, features and fabric seen during the site survey including that which may reveal additional evidence and information about the historical development of the buildings and wider site over time, including the significance of the site in a local context. |
