Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In August 2016 AS carried out historic building recording at Cockhamsted, Braughing, Hertfordshire. The recording was undertaken in order to fulfil a condition of listed building consent for alteration and extension to the house and replacement of an outbuilding. Technical analysis found the listing description to be generally accurate but allowed additional details to be recorded. Cockhamsted is a good example of a Regency house constructed in the early 19th century and follows a double pile plan with a service range added shortly after construction. The house follows a standard plan with central entrance hall and stair vestibule extending the depth of the building with flanking reception rooms and further rooms to the rear. A number of historic fixtures and fittings survive throughout including the staircase, sash windows with good panelled shutters, while the roof structure is well-preserved and constructed of timber imported from the Baltic regions and bearing a number of scribed marks. A second phase executed shortly after construction of the main house comprised the addition of a service range to the north, with reordering of the north-east room and its subdivision with internal partitions of primary-braced studwork that were removed as part of the current works. Of interest are sections of carved timber ceiling coffering (consistent with a 17th century date) enriched with fruit and flowers, birds, and the monogram CC which may be relocated from Panshanger House (possibly from Coles Green before that).
