Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building assessment at Brick House, St. Newlyn East, Cornwall, ahead of the proposed construction of a new dwelling to replace the existing fire and water damaged thatch farmhouse. Brick House is a small brick farmhouse set within a wedge shaped garden plot, enclosed by traditional hedge banks, within the historic core of the village of St. Newlyn East. It represents a simple agricultural dwelling on a former in-town farm plot, formerly with open fields to its south-east until the recent expansion of the village. Brick House is an undesignated heritage asset, however, it would appear to be one of the oldest dwellings in the Conservation Area and is unusual in its use of materials. The use of brick for the structure is the most notable, as stone is an abundant material in this area, and the majority of buildings - particularly of its period - are therefore stone built. Until it was lost through fire damage, the thatch roof of the Brick House was also an important feature of the building, being one of few thatched roofs still present in the village and therefore adding to the character of the historic core of St. Newlyn East. The farmhouse was extended in the 19th century, and again in the 20th. These two phases of development virtually doubled the floor plan of the farmhouse, as well as providing a series of repairs and reconstruction to parts of the original building. |
