Introduction
This collection comprises images, reports, plans, and site records from the historic building recording of the Baron of Southampton Monument in Camden, Greater London carried out by MOLA Headland Infrastructure from March 2018 to April 2019.
Project Summary
A Historic Building Recording Project was undertaken by MOLA HEADLAND INFRASTRUCTURE (MHI) at the Monument of the Baron of Southampton in St James’s Gardens. The monument was located in a largely overlooked corner of the garden, behind a later storage shed. It was Grade II listed (LEN: 1378716) and as such the recording of the monument was required to assess and record the character, layout extent and significance of the monument and its setting.
The recording was done to a Level 3 standard, in accordance with the Historic England Guidelines (Historic England, 2016), the CIfA guidance (CIfA, 2014) and Method Statement (Document number: 1D037-EDP-EV-MST-000-000002, Revision 4). A Level 3 provides an analytical record of a building or structure. It also gives an account of the monument origins, development and use and includes an account of the evidence on which the analysis has been based, including documentary evidence, allowing the validity of the record to be tested in the future. It will also include all drawn and photographic records that may be required to illustrate the monuments appearance and structure and support an historical analysis.
