Abstract: |
In November 2006 a record was prepared of the Steward's House Garage, Wrotham Park, in advance of the construction of a new garage on the same site. The building was constructed in 1856 as part of the Melon Ground complex, attached to Home Farm. It was built by William S Cubitt as part of the planned farm complex, for which much information survives in the estate archives. Although the building was demolished for safety reasons before it could be recorded, it was possible to prepare a reasonably comprehensive record of the structure from photographs provided by the Estate, and examination of the surviving remains. The building, constructed as the 'Gardener's Shed', appears to have remained relatively unaltered since the mid 19th century.A watching brief undertaken in July 2007 during groundworks for the new garage did not reveal any evidence for occupation or other activity on the site prior to the construction of Home Farm. |
