Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd (SWARCH) recorded the exceptional first floor gable elevation of No. 9 High Street, Torrington, Devon, that had been exposed during recent repair work to the building. The building is of 17th century date. Probably a former merchant house with a shop on the ground floor, the first floor gable comprises a very fine timber frame with decorated panels that formerly surrounded a large landscape window. In the early/mid 19th century the street elevation was 'modernised'. The 17th century window was removed and replaced by a tall narrow sash window that cut through the tie-beam of the timber frame. The remainder of the window opening was closed with timber stud work and the whole structure, including the panels, was faced with lathes and covered with a lime render. |
