Abstract: |
Country House Limited have secured planning and listed building consent for the conversion of Old Star Cottage, 1, Main Street, Frisby-on-the-Wreake, Leicestershire (SK 694 176) into three dwellings. University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Mr J. Mensley of County House to undertake an Historic Building Survey in accordance with the requirements of a condition on the permission. The survey provides a record of Old Star Cottage and its associated outbuildings in their current state prior to conversion. The property has had a varied history having previously been an inn and a butcher's premises. Ostensibly this is an eighteenth century brick house with various subsequent additions including a slaughterhouse and a detached stable-block. The fragmentary remains of an earlier structure were identified within the building including a stone-built cellar and foundations, a fourcentred arched stone fireplace and chimneystack, a moulded ceiling beam, some reset panelling and other reused timbers. The evidence suggests a sixteenth or more likely seventeenth century date for this earlier building. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council under the accession code X.A239. 2009. |
