Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted historical building recording on a barn lying within the curtilage and to the north-east of the Chestnuts, Lundy Green, Hempnall, Norfolk (NGR TM 2445 9248). The programme of work was conducted as part of a condition of planning consent for residential conversion (South Norfolk DC Planning Approval Ref. 2010/0940/F). The building is timber-framed with external rendered walls having four bays with a small ean-to on the east side. Technical analysis suggests that the structure dates from the late 17th century/early 18th century and was originally thatched. The main structural elements and roof were found to be in good condition, while several wall-panels retain original studwork and claydaub infill, though others have been replaced with concrete blockwork. In the 19th century, during a refurbishment of the barn, the west wall was replaced below tie-beam level with clay lump blocks, which survive in good condition. The east extension also incorporates a similar detail, and is probably also of this date. Latterly the lower part of the eastern bay was separated and ceiled over to form a stable or store room. Modern alterations are also present in the form of a chrysotile asbestos roof and substantial hard cement replacement of the external render, though the extent of this could not be determined. |
