Introduction
This collection includes site photographs, 3D models, vector data and an archive decision record from a building survey carried out by COPA/Cotswold Archaeology at Whittington Heath Golf Course Club House, Whittington Heath, Lichfield, Staffordshire between February and November 2020.
Project Summary
The objective of the historic building recording as detailed within the Project Plan was to investigate and record the Club House, with particular consideration given to:
- Recording the extent and character of the different parts of the building;
- Recording elements of particular architectural of historic significance surviving within the fabric;
- Identifying and explaining possible phases of development and alteration;
- Providing an understanding of the circumstances that led to the construction of the building through desk-based and archival research;
- Understanding the changes that affected the local area and how they are reflected in the fabric of the building;
- Identifying the historic relationship between the building and other local buildings or landscape features;
- Understanding the role of the building in the development of the area and the potential relationship to a specific estate; and
The scope of works seeks to create knowledge and outputs that contribute to GWSI: HERDS Specific Objective:
- KC45: The conflicts of the 20th century define the history of modern Britain and the world: how can we achieve a greater understanding of the significance of sites associated with conflict to local communities along the route?
- KC50: Investigate architectural artefacts of 20th century design with a social agenda and their legacy as contemporary built heritage.
- KC51: How do 19th and 20th century recreation and community buildings reflect social and economic change and contribute to community identity? Can different trajectories in the development of these amenities be recognised?
- KC52: Understanding the pattern, form and function of post-medieval rural vernacular architecture: can we identify regional, intra-regional or temporal variations?
