Abstract: |
A small house, rectangular in plan, of red brick, with tiled roof, on two storeys with a small cellar, was constructed in a form suggesting a late 18th or early 19th-century date. Situated to the North of farm buildings of similar appearance and date, it is documented early in the 19th century as 'Ankerwycke Cottage', on an estate bounded by the left bank of the River Thames and Magna Carta Island. Several roof and floor timbers appear to have been originally of 16th-century type, and were therefore reused in the cottage. These may have come from Ankerwycke Great House, documented as built 500m to the S on the site of a medieval priory, dissolved in 1540. The Great House is documented as having been demolished in 1803-5 and rebuilt 200m North of the priory ruins (the rebuilt house no longer survives). The present farmhouse was extended to the North in the 19th century and to the East in the early-mid 20th century, its cellar was shut off and the staircase rearranged, among other alterations. Occupied until about 1998, it was then badly damaged by fire and is now being rebuilt. A small, single-storey shed to the North, timber-framed and boarded with a tiled roof, has collapsed. |
