Abstract: |
In April 2010 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd carried out historic building recording and test pitting of Orchard Cottage, Westley Waterless, Cambridgeshire in order to inform proposals for the development involving buildings on the site. The building, which is Grade II listed, is timber framed under a thatched roof. The reception rooms surveyed for this report have brick floors that appear to have been laid in the 20th century, despite the presence of earlier bricks. There was no evidence in the test pits for earlier flooring material or archaeological remains. The timberwork shows evidence for earlier doorways between the two rooms, the clear re-use of the bridging beam in the dining room as well as later insertions to reinforce the walls and ceiling. The dining room appears to have undergone fairly substantial alterations, probably in the 18th century when the fireplace was partially rebuilt and elm panelling added to the north wall. |
