Abstract:		 A built heritage assessment was undertaken of standing remains within an area of proposed development amongst the backplots of Fore Street and Cornhill, part of a conservation area in Wellington, Somerset. Twenty structures were assessed including former and existing boundary divisions. Seven structures are considered to have no special architectural or historic interest. The others have varying degrees of local interest including a number of structures that incorporate local a local vernacular form of construction that utilises chert rubble. Several of these chert structures are the boundary walls that delineate the backplots, apparently derived from medieval burgage plots. Dating is problematic, but there is no obviously early material, and the technique was certainly in use up to the mid-19th century. While the proposed development will provide an opportunity for the revitalisation of what is now an unused and derelict area, the proposals as they stand will result in the demolition of a number of these structures of local interest. In this event mitigation is recommended in the form of preservation by record.
