Abstract:		 In July 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted historic building recording at Coombe End Farm, Goring Heath, Oxfordshire. Technical analysis suggests that the building, which is Grade II Listed, originates in the mid-17th century on a double-pile plan layout. Some trace of earlier embellishment of the internal timbers survive, though clear domestic indicators such as chimneys are absent in the earliest phase, which might suggest that the building was constructed as a lodge or subordinate residence to a large estate. Further documentary research may substantiate the archaeological evidence. During the early 18th century the building was remodelled with a polite brick façade and refurbished internally. Several internal doors and panelled interiors date from this time. Rising in status as a 'gentleman's homestead' in the later 19th century, various additions augmented its facilities, particularly under Sir Rickman John Godlee, who added new service ranges to the north and reorientated the domestic arrangements in 1904 with a large new drawing room and principal bedroom, remodelled by C.R. Ashbee in the Arts and Crafts style. In its final developed form, the house became labyrinthine, but possessed the usual range of domestic and service rooms found in most Edwardian houses. Since the early 1950s, the house has been tenanted under the ownership of the National Trust, but has been empty for several years.
