Overview
The archive for this scheme of building recording contains all the raw data from the on-site investigation.
The archive includes:
- Digital photographic record (jpeg format)
- Photographic registers of all photographic images (csv format)
- Site plan annotated with the locations of selected photographic views (pdf format)
- A pdf of the complete report from OASIS
The primary record for Marble Hall was undertaken and completed prior to commencement of Site works. A photographic record has been compiled of the exterior and interior of Marble Hall, and records architectural details and historic internal fixtures to chronicle the former use of space within the building.
The initial programme of archaeological building recording has also been supplemented with assessment and recording undertaken as the building conversion works took place. The recording has two aims: To enhance our understanding of the building, especially areas which were not fully visible during the initial record or that had not been stripped of modern fixtures, and to update the existing phasing where/if necessary through inspection of fabric, both modern and historic, revealed during the conversion and strip out works.
The conversion works included the removal of internal partitions and suspended ceilings. Inspection of the fabric, during the removal of partitions, was made to confirm the current interpretation of the building's phasing. The inspection also sought to identify and record new features which were revealed. Lighting conditions, during the initial phase of recording, within the building were poor. The works provided the opportunity, as window coverings were removed, to update the existing photographic archive with higher quality pictures.
