Abstract: |
Planning permission (application no 2354/12) was granted to demolish a fire-damaged wing of 'Goldings', formerly Golding's Farm, in Stoneham Aspal and to replace it with a slightly larger range on a similar footprint. The timber-framed and rendered building was constructed in three phases and its final form reflected the standard layout of many East Anglian farmhouses of the 17th century with a central two-bay hall flanked by a parlour on the south and a service bay to the north. A 'high-end' chimney with back-to back fireplaces divided the hall and parlour to heat both rooms. In the original structure, however, the central hall was designed as a free-standing building open to the (now missing) roof in the style of a medieval open hall. This small structure was almost certainly built in the early part of the 16th century as a detached bake-house rather than a domestic house in its own right, and it represented a rare survival. Following demolition a shallow footing of the original 16th century chimney was the only part of the former building that could be detected below ground. The building remains were observed at a high level in the soil profile and above the depth at which most archaeological excavation normally occur and demonstrated why such building are rarely recognised on what are otherwise known rural medieval occupation sites. |
