Abstract: |
In November 2011 AS Ltd. undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation and historic building assessment at The Bull public house, Bovingdon, Hertfordshire. The historic building assessment revealed a significantly earlier building than previously thought. A late 19th or early 20th century Arts and Crafts exterior conceals a substantial double-pile house of late 17th or early 18th century date, which may have been re-clad in brick in the early 19th century, before being rendered at a more recent date. While the original plan layout survives, most of the lower, domestic areas have been extensively and repeatedly remodelled, but the garrets remain remarkably intact, with many original features, including dormer windows with original leaded glass, now enclosed beneath a later, protective flat-roof which was installed when the principal stack to the west was removed in the later 20th century. Some original fixtures and fittings survive, including the attic door. A lower, east range is timber-framed, and of broadly contemporary date, and formed a stable with hay-loft. It survives substantially unaltered, though in need of repair. The archaeological evaluation provided little supporting information, and did not reveal the presence of earlier outbuildings, which appear on historic maps. Recovered features included a soakaway or pit, probably associated with the construction of the WC block at the north-west corner of the main building in the 1950s. |
