Abstract: |
In December 2012 Archaeological Solutions conducted historic building recording at the Coach House, Dolphin Yard in St Albans. Four ranges were inspected and technical analysis reveals that Range 1 has a detailed evolution and development. The evidence, though complex supports the supposition that the building originated as a timber-framed utilitarian or agricultural building associated with Nos. 7-9 Holywell Hill in the 16th century, later converted to a domestic residence in the 17th century. It took the form of a typical baffle-entry three-unit house with the insertion of a chimney stack, upper floor and timber-framed porch, and while one window survives, evidence for further examples may have been lost This building was again remodelled with the infilling of the timber frame and it may have been at this point the eastern bay or bays was lost. In the early 19th century the entire south façade was re-clad in brick, and it is possible that the ranges to the east, including Ranges 2 and 3, were constructed. Since the earlier 19th century the buildings have been divided, although later alteration with the rebuilding of the south elevation of Ranges 2 and 3 in Flettons appears to have altered the form and Range 2 now forms a single open hall, while Range 3 now comprises offices. Range 4 a former garage of 20th century date has also been converted for office use. |
