| Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology has undertaken a programme of historic building investigation and recording at the Apprentice Store at De Montalt Mill, Bath Somerset. This work is in addition to recording of the main mill buildings and below ground archaeological evaluations at the Mill and the Apprentice Shop. The so-called Apprentice Store building comprised a 3 bay open fronted two storey block built onto the east end of a single bay extension to a primary small farm building that may date to the late 18th century. The farm building or barn had a first floor inserted later for a hay loft with stable or animal housing below, the tops of the gable walls had been constructed in later builds which indicates this originally had a half hipped roof. The single bay extension contained a coach or waggon house below with a loft above. The east gable of this was raised to create a parapetted gable for the higher, open fronted extension. This extension, which may have been a timber store, was constructed in the later 19th century either when the former mill was being used as a laundry or later when it had become a joinery manufactory. The open sides of the range were later enclosed and the building appears to have been used as an additional workshop. Some evidence of former use within the eastern block include two belt-drive pulleyshafts and a saw bench. A lean-to on the south side of the range which was probably a store initially was converted to stock pens and milking parlour in the twentieth century after the site was purchased for use as a farm in 1921. The farm business finally closed in 1987 and the site has been sold for proposed development. |
