Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken at the coach house and stable block of the Old Rectory Knightwick in February 2013 by Mike Napthan Archaeology in response to a proposed refurbishment of, and change of use of the former coach-house and stable range which stand in the curtailage of the Grade II Listed Old Rectory. A building was present on the current footprint of the coach-house/stable block as early as 1787, when it was marked on a plan by George Young. The present structure therefore had its origins probably in the early-mid 18th Century, and was possibly first adapted as a coachhouse/stable towards the end of the 18th Century, though the majority of the fabric suggests an early -mid 19th Century date for the present configuration. Overall the building is an interesting example of a range of outbuildings constructed to serve the needs of the rectory and glebe lands, but the building has been much adapted in the past and is not the product of any single period, the most recent elements being late 19th Century. The building retains several features of interest, but these were all once commonplace in agricultural stables in the County. The building has substantial structural weaknesses due largely to poor design of the 19th C roof and extensive works will be required to render the structure usable and fully accessible. The proposed conversion offers an opportunity to stabilize and preserve the building envelope from otherwise inevitable further decay. |
