Abstract: |
n March 2008 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out desk-based and historic building assessments of Little Patchetts, 72 Hilfield Lane, Aldenham, Herts, in order to inform proposals for the development of the house. Little Patchetts is a Grade II listed timber framed building that dates from no later than the 15th century. It is a 2-storey L-shaped structure comprising a 3-bay south range, which was originally a cross passage house, to which a late 15th/early 16th century range has been added. Later extensions include a single storey range to the east elevation, an outshut to the west elevation and an L-shaped addition in the northwest corner of the building. Little of the timber frame is visible from the outside as the house was partially encased in brick in the 19th century. Other parts of the building are tile hung or weather boarded. The interior of the building, however, retains much of the original layout and many timbers have been left exposed.The proposed additions to the building are unlikely to be unduly detrimental to the historic core of the building, with the possible exception of the removal of the east wall in the main ground floor room in the south range. Indeed, the works may reveal further clues to the origin and development of the building. |
