Abstract:		 In October 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted historic building recording at the Swan Public House, High Street, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 17706 13915). The work was required by St Albans District Council prior to the restoration of the building after fire damage. The analysis broadly confirmed the list description of the building as a late medieval open hall, but revealed greater detail and allowed significant refinement on previous knowledge. In addition to the open hall, the parlour range also survives substantially, while an early 17th century range added to the south of the building is likely to have been raised by a further storey in the later 18th century. The main brunt of the fire was limited to the upper chamber of the medieval core, with ancillary smoke and water damage in the immediate vicinity. However, the worst destruction was confined to the common rafters and upper roof, which probably represent a repair of c.1900 following an earlier fire in the building. The primary medieval timbers while charred may be salvageable. The fire also exposed areas of original wattle and daub infill, and 17th century lath and plaster, inserted following the flooring of the earlier hall. These have been identified in the report, and if possible and practicable should be retained as of importance to the historic integrity of the building.
