Abstract:		 In August and September 2013 AS Ltd. carried out historic building recording with monitoring and recording at 1 Beechtree Cottages, Hemel Hempstead Road, Leverstock Green, Hertfordshire. This survey followed earlier consultation to determine the original form of the south gable end of the rear wing and was carried out in order to fulfil a condition of listed building consent for repair and alteration. The recording comprised making a detailed record of the south gable and a section of the west elevation prior to and during planned works. Technical analysis carried out prior to and during the planned works allows the appearance of the south gable end to be reconstructed with some certainty. The original form is characterised by trusses consisting of jowled posts with slightly cambered tie-beams with a queen post clasped side-purlin roof over. The timber-framing otherwise comprised fairly widely-spaced studs with infill panels of wattle and daub, most of which have been lost though one or two wattle staves and a small section of daub survived on the west. An original mullion window also survives in good condition, exposed during the planned works, and it is likely that a similar window lay on the east. An estate map depicts a building here by at least 1768, but evidence suggests the rear wing was constructed in the 17th century or earlier, although the junction with the main range is not coherent and further investigation is needed to ascertain the phasing of the building as a whole. The original window was made redundant with the construction of the kitchen lean-to which is itself of some age, while the early 19th century saw upgrading of the whole house.
