Abstract: |
In August 2010 AS Ltd carried out a programme of historic building monitoring and recording alongside archaeological monitoring and recording of groundworks at The Bell Hotel in Ticehurst, East Sussex. The project work was undertaken in order to comply with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the demolition of the 1930s wing, the construction of new extensions and internal alteration to the building. The monitoring revealed that the end wall of the Period E outshut had likely been removed with the construction of the 1930s range, and the entombed pent-roof of the outshut supported by a large I-girder. Within the building, areas of now exposed historic fabric were observed and recorded, which in most cases confirmed elements of the earlier report. For example, an 18th century oven had been inserted into the Period B chimney stack in the rear wing, while dry-lining was removed from the north side of the principal chimney stack exposed a section which is perhaps part of the earlier stack. Questions remain unanswered, for example no evidence indicating the means of access to the first floor of the Period B rear range was found. The archaeological monitoring element of the project was carried out after the removal of the 1930s wing. No archaeological features or finds were present. |
