Abstract: |
In February 2005 an archaeological desk-based and historic building assessment was undertaken on the Old School House, Leicester Road, Sapcote. The desk-based assessment revealed that archaeological remains are not currently known within the boundaries of the site, but a number are known in adjacent areas. The site is within the medieval village core and has good potential for remains of this or the Saxon period in those areas outside the present school footprint. The building assessment revealed that the core of the Old School House dates to the 19th century with late 20th century extensions. Internally no original fittings survive and the layout has been much altered with the insertion of mezzanine floors and partitions since the 1980s. Externally the original appearance of the building is judged to be largely unaltered save for the masking of some architectural detailing by the 1960s flat roofed extension on the east side of the building. |
