Abstract:		 In August 2007 an historic building survey was carried out of The Villa, Watling Street, Fenny Stratford, prior to demolition. The Villa, a three storey three-bay house, was one of a group of buildings constructed alongside the pre-canal alignment of Watling Street sometime in the 18th century. The survey revealed little evidence for the earlier form of the building, though tuck-pointed brickwork was revealed beneath later rendering on the south and east elevations.By 1819 the group of buildings on Watling Street, along with the land to the rear, passed into the ownership of Gregory Odell Clarke, a local entrepreneur. It is likely that Clarke lived at The Villa, which may also have housed his office. By 1864 he had handed much of the business over to his son William, who continued to retain control until c.1890. Contrary to previous accounts, it seems likely that the present form of The Villa, which stylistically dates to the latter half of the 19th century, is the work of William rather than his father, and dates from his taking over the family business.During the early 20th century The Villa was turned over to commercial use, as offices. Internal alterations made for this seem to have had little impact on the late 19th-century interior: significant damage only occurred after the building fell into disuse in the 1990s.
