Introduction
This collection comprises of text, images 3D models, LiDAR and vector data from a historic building recording commissioned by Fusion and undertaken by Wardell Armstrong at the Lodge, Doddershall, Quainton during 2020 and 2021.
Project Summary
The structure was due to be demolished ahead of the construction of the High Speed Two (HS2) railway. A historic building recording survey was therefore required to record and analyse the structure prior to its demolition and in the course of said demolition works to record and potentially salvage all fabric of historic, architectural or archaeological significance.
The Lodge remained fairly unaltered on the exterior, and only underwent few modernisations on the interior. Initially there were several features or fittings of historical interest, which were thought to be re-used material from Doddershall. This included the arched doorways and timber doors, leaded glass windows, the timber staircase and timber trusses, the projecting chimneys with octagonal brick stack, as well as potential features of the blocked off fireplaces.
A programme of demolition integrated recording allowed an in-depth assessment of these features, their materials and they construction. This allowed the conclusion that all features were contemporary with the building and its extension. No indication for the re-use of building materials from an earlier structure could be noted anywhere in the Lodge.
Re-Use Value Statement
The in-depth analysis of the building in the course of the demolition of the building gave an insight into the construction of the building as well as allowed us to determine that no older, historic fabric had been re-used within the building. The survey and laser scan preserved the structure for future analysis of its structure and design.
