Abstract: |
Archaeological buildings assessment recorded a body of structures which comprise Stratford House and Ousebank Cottage. In addition to two large dwellings, one over three floors with cellar, the other over two floors, the buildings included a stable, a former chapel, conservatory and garage. Recording has shown that the two properties coalesced in an organic fashion from a variety of early disparate buildings of uncertain association into a single sprawling property which eventually included such unusual elements as a non-conformist chapel. The properties bear no indication that they were ever intimately connected with the tannery purported to have lain at the far end of the plot. While the origins of the buildings probably lie in the 18th century, the fixtures and fittings of any note all belong to a suite inserted during the property's heyday, at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. They last underwent any real alteration in the 1930s. While some of the properties appear to have retained earlier fabric and features, large portions, irrespective of age, are in serious disrepair. |
