Abstract:		 A level 1-2 historic building survey was undertaken by Compass Archaeology of Breakspears - a Grade I listed building in Harefield - during Clancy Development's refurbishment and redevelopment works of the house. This included research into the existing documentary / cartographic / pictorial sources, along with substantial fieldwork (including investigation and recording of the building itself, dendrochronological analysis, and watching briefs of small-scale excavations within and around the building). This revealed that the earliest house (of which features survive today) dated from the earlier part of the 17th Century. This underwent a series of modifications, most noticeably the raising of the roofs and addition of a second floor; until the second quarter of the 19th Century when a major phase of construction / rebuild took place (involving the rotation of the house round by 90degrees). Another large phase of rebuilding took place at the end of the 19th Century - to create, essentially, the house that remains today.
