Abstract: |
In May 2010 building repairs exposed a previously unrecorded medieval arch-braced roof of high quality; the find was described and recorded by John. Allan. New observations in the range allow its building history to be understood more fully. Following the partial demolition of a preceding medieval wing, it underwent a major reconstruction in the late 15th century or soon afterwards. This provided a room with a high-quality roof at the front of the range, separated by a closed truss from a lower-status room with a simpler roof at the back. Around 1700 the range was set up as a private house, separate from the rest of the medieval property. This entailed providing a new staircase and the conversion of the roofspace at the rear to attic accommodation. |
