Abstract: |
In July 2010, October 2011 and November 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted a programme of archaeological recording at the former Waggon and Horses public house, Watton at Stone. The historic building recording expanded on an earlier appraisal undertaken by AS (Prosser 2010). The evidence, though complex supports the supposition that the building originated as a fairly humble open-hall, perhaps of early 16th century date, which was extensively remodelled in the 17th century, with the addition of a rear wing, the raising of the roof and general refurbishment in line with the rise in standards of domestic accommodation at that time. Further intervention in the future and detailed historic research outside the scope of this project may provide clarity and elucidate a fuller picture. Later small-scale remodelling is evident and a substantial 19th century phase of work which saw the roof raised on the south side in line with the rear wing, lean-tos added to the rear and various internal alterations. The outbuilding was also built in the 19th century to provide stabling and cart sheds. |
