Overview
This collection comprises the site photographs, geomatics data and photogrammetry data for the buildings recording project at Mullensgrove Farm, Curdworth, Warwickshire.
Re-Use Value Statement
Following the historic building recording, it has become evident that in order to create a complete record of the farmhouse before its demolition, further information is required in areas which will only become accessible during the demolition works, primarily the roof structure and the vicinity of the earlier timber frame. A destructive survey was not permitted at the time of survey and so the majority of the floorboards remain unrecorded which would become accessible following the soft strip.
The timber elements which may be in situ, albeit heavily altered, are located at the north of the staircase, primarily on the first floor. If these timbers were shown to be in their original location, this will establish a possible location for the earlier building at the south-west of the 18th-century phases of the extant building. The extent of the elements will only be visible following an invasive survey. This will need to be conducted by a buildings archaeologist alongside the contractor's soft strip work prior to the demolition, in a phase that will more clearly identify features to be investigated, and the larger elements to be observed and recorded during demolition.
