Abstract:		 An historic building assessment was undertaken in January 2013 by Mike Napthan Archaeology at 12 Westbourne Street, Wribbenhall, Bewdley. The building has been previously dated through tree ring dating to the winter of 1576-7 (Tyers 2007), but the present study has attempted to assess the significance and broad phasing of the building prior to proposed repair works. The building proves in fact to comprise two components of three related structures, one of which has been so heavily rebuilt that it is now essentially a modern building retaining only two original roof trusses. That building served as a bakehouse during the 19th C, being recorded as such in auction particulars of 1806 and ceasing use between 1901 and 1911. The remaining portion of the study area is a two bay timber framed structure, the earliest elements of which appear from the tree ring dating to be of 1576-7. The building has been extensively altered, and as this was purely an assessment without detailed survey it is not possible to determine the phasing of all elements with certainty. Overal the building is of considerable interest as one of the oldest known structures in Wribbenhall, however other than the structural frame it retains no original fixtures or fittings, and the intended repair works are likely to impact only on the original structural timber frame and later infill panels and modern fenestration and finishes .
