Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was commissioned by the Sir John Soane's Museum to undertake recording of opening up areas at the Sir John Soane's Museum, 12, 13 and 14 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London Borough of Camden in connection with the 'Opening up the Soane project'. The buildings are Grade I Listed. John Soane (1753-1837) was an architect and between 1792 and 1824 he purchased and rebuilt numbers 12, 13 and 14 Lincoln's Inn Field as his own house and a private museum. The 'Opening up the Soane project' aims to return the Sir John Soane's Museum back to the architect's original designs. Areas of the museum are being opened up by the excavation of small test pits in the basement and the removal of small areas of floor boards and wall covering on the ground, first, second and third floors of numbers 12 and 13, Lincoln's Inn Fields in order to inform the project. Some of these opening up areas were recorded by Lyall Thow of Julian Harrap Architects. Others were recorded by PCA from 8th to 29th October 2009. The recording by PCA included drawn, written and photographic recording of the basement test pits, areas of lifted floorboards on the ground, second and third floors and areas of removed wall coverings on the first and second floors. |
