Abstract: |
HE Projects were requested by Architects Design Group to provide a programme of archaeological mitigation at the proposed development at the Godolphin Arms, Marazion. The proposed development comprises a two storey extension to the rear elevation, a single storey stair enclosure to the front of the building and internal alterations. The planning application was approved subject to conditions. A watching brief for the groundworks was proposed in the Written Scheme of Investigation. Prior to the planning application, a heritage report for the Grade II Listed Godolphin Arms was drawn up (Platts, 2013) detailing the history of the public house and including a heritage impact assessment. In summary, the report relates documentary evidence of a house on the site in the early 18th Century and of the Star Inn by 1762. A storm destroyed the cellars and adjacent slip in 1796 which necessitated some rebuilding. Further alterations to the renamed Commercial Hotel were made in 1817 following another storm. The building was altered and enlarged around 1875 and was renamed again, becoming known as the 'Godolphin Hotel'. It is these multiple alterations which may have been in evidence during the proposed groundworks. |
