Abstract:
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Robertson Construction England North East on behalf of their Client to undertake historic building recording at Wolsingham School and Community College, Wolsingham, County Durham. A number of outbuildings and structures are to be demolished to enable the extension of the current school building. Their recording was required as a condition of planning permission. None are listed although the site lies within a Conservation Area. The recording was undertaken in January 2015 in accordance with English Heritage Levels 1 and 2. The earliest structure to be recorded was a low sandstone wall which is marked on the 1839 Tithe map. A sandstone outbuilding appears to have been constructed c.1911 as stables and coach house. Another sandstone outbuilding with a large central classroom was also constructed c.1911. Original features include brown tiles to dado height on the internal walls, vents on the roof and chamfered stone lintels and stone sills to doors and windows. Similar features are visible in the main 1911 school building. A sandstone wall dividing the girls (west side) from the boys (east side) playground was also constructed c.1911. This wall houses the commemorative school bell and a stone inscribed '1611'. Two buildings referred to as the Pavilion were also recorded. The buildings were built between 1942 and 1979 and are mid 20th century in appearance. The exteriors of the buildings were cement rendered and appeared to have also been constructed from pre-cast cement slabs set between cement posts. The roof was pitched and covered with corrugated sheeting.
