Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In April 2016 AS carried out historic building recording and building monitoring at Lordship Cottage, Green End, Dane End, Ware, Hertfordshire. The project was commissioned in order to fulfil a condition of listed building consent for extension and small-scale internal alteration. Lordship Cottage, along with Orchard Cottage adjoining, comprises a deceptively complex arrangement with a varied history resulting from early division, perhaps as early as the 18th century, into two properties. The historic core of Lordship Cottage forms the south-east bay of a 17th century timber-framed lobby-entry house and contains a large chimney stack with inglenook fireplace, while decorative touches such as characteristic lambs tongue chamfer stops can be seen. Monitoring during the planned works has allowed the character of the framing to be further elucidated so refining recent conclusions, which is revealed to utilise tension bracing rather than primary-bracing. Much reuse of earlier, probably medieval fabric is visible throughout. Interesting features include the presence of the formerly external south-east gable but no evidence for partitions at lower level suggesting a contemporary structure, now lost. The 18th century saw the building extended to the south-east, constructed reusing much earlier fabric and perhaps forming a rebuilding of an earlier element. The framing is characterised by the use of slender primary-braced studwork, with an efficient use of pegging and nails. The existing staircase in this range is modern but lies in the position of an earlier stair, while the final range provided further space in the 1970s and is of no interest.
