Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of 85 Hartwell Road, Ashton, Northamptonshire (SP 76861 50 27), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Mrs S. Hill in advance of the demolition of the existing property and the building of a new residential property on the site. A coin hoard discovered in the roof of the building in 1955 and an historic map of the village dated to 1727 suggests that the building dates from the 17th or 18th centuries. The survey recorded that the building is much altered leaving little of historical or architectural interest; as a result no definitive dating evidence was recorded. The 1727 map appears to record a building, different in appearance to the standing building. The latest coin from the coin hoard dates to 1686, but that provides little indication as when the hoard was closed. Therefore secure dating of the building is difficult to establish. Ostensibly the building is a pre-19th century stone built rural dwelling with a historic core of two separate dwellings, one a single bay, the other one and a half or two bays. Originally one and half storeys and thatched, the roof was raised and the thatch replaced in 1955. There are a number of late 20th century additions. |
