Abstract:		 During November and December 2007, CAM ARC conducted an Historic Building Recording at High House, near Purfleet in Essex.High House itself is a Grade II listed late 17th century brick manor house, or country residence and one of the oldest structures in a group of manorial farm buildings. Originally part of the Manor of West Thurrock, there was a building on the site from at least the mid 16th century, but possibly earlier. Several phases of construction and renovation have been identified during the investigation.The current structure was built c. 1684 and at the time of construction little decorative work was undertaken, but around c. 1700 a major decoration scheme was implemented on the main rooms in the house, which included extensive panelling. The building of the house and major schemes of decoration can be attributed with some degree of certainty to known individual owners of the property.Further phases of work were undertaken during the 18th century, and during the 19th century the house was extended. During the 19th century the house fell in status from manor, to manorial farm, to working farm. In the early 20th century the farm was taken over as a school, and was later converted into flats. These last two events were destructive to the historic fabric of the house, but thankfully much fabric has survived almost intact.
