Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a historic building appraisal and produce a statement of significance and impact statement for Old Traine, Modbury, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to inform potential conversion, restoration and development of part of the complex and set the buildings in their historical and archaeological context. Old Traine forms part of a building of considerable age and complex development containing elements of 15th through to 20th century date. The house stands within a larger complex of service buildings and walled courtyards of varying age, a courtyard mansion representing an important middle to high status site, of considerable local importance. The building is now divided in ownership but is Listed Grade II*. There was a comprehensive phase of renovation in the 1960s that saved the building from ruin, but the north range of the courtyard mansion did not form part of this work and is now in a parlous state of repair. However, this has meant numerous unusual architectural and historic features survive unaltered within its unmodernised ground and first floors. The intention of the new owners is to bring this range back into use as accommodation, thus there is an opportunity remedy its structural issues and record and conserve its historic elements. A managed programme of works on this structure can only be viewed as positive overall, reducing the risk of the loss of historic fabric through further decline. Works to the east range are not expected to be particularly intrusive on the whole, providing the issue of access to the north range can be resolved. |
