Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by John Moore Heritage Services over twelve visits to Grange Farm between June and October 2013 with a further two visits in January 2014. The building complex of the Grange was being redeveloped for modern housing which necessitated the wholesale refurbishment, restoration and in some cases, demolition of certain building elements. In the latter case, the buildings were for the most part 20th century additions that were considered to be out of keeping with the restoration or which impeded access or development of the site. Internally, certain buildings were to be divided into new configurations as living units where walls were added (or taken away), floors lowered and extra services added. All these works were monitored. Externally, new services had to be provided and service trenches had to be excavated up to and into some of the housing units. These excavations and those for extra footings or underpinning were also closely monitored. Further small-scale remedial works were also undertaken with an archaeologist present. |
