Abstract: |
Shodfriars Hall is situated to the south of Boston's Market Place on an island site between Sibsey Lane and Shodfriars Lane. The earliest portion of the building, a substantial timberframed structure known originally as the 'Old Flemish House', probably dates from the last quarter of the 14th century. The medieval building was remodelled and a new connected hall, designed in a northern European Gothic style, was built to the east in 1873-75, at which time the site was renamed 'Shodfriars Hall'. The work of the 1870s was commissioned by the Boston Conservative Club to provide clubrooms, shops, offices and a theatrical hall and was completed to the designs of John Oldrid Scott (1841-1913) and his brother George Gilbert Scott Jnr (1839-1897). This report was written as part of a Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) student placement with English Heritage working within the Assessment Team (East) in Cambridge. The report was requested by John Minnis as part the 'Boston: Informing Growth' project. |
