Abstract: |
An Historic Building Assessment to was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology for Esmond Murray Architects on behalf of Chaleview Properties Ltd of properties at the corner of High Street and Old Ford Lane, Pewsey. The project was an assessment of the buildings on site to see if any historic fabric existed, and its character. The site visit established that the only fabric pre-dating the 20th century was in the buildings in the western corner of the property. The brick exterior was of several phases, generally earlier than the roof structures they have been inserted under or enclosed. A vertical break in the south-west brickwork coincided with another in the series of relict roofs preserved under the present roof covering. The north-western roof was possibly of 17th or early 18th century date. The rest of the corner block had at least three phases of roofing under the present one. The earliest of these was a single-storey timber-framed building, which had been damaged by fire. The earliest phase pre-dates the north-western block and had been raised to a full two storeys in two stages that post-dated the north-western roof. An early stack is enclosed in the south-eastern end of the building and, like the gable wall at this end is of several phases of construction. A crack in the south-western wall lines up with the north-western face of the stack. The north-western gable end has been truncated and rebuilt in rendered concrete block at an angle, after 1965. This removed a Victorian shop front and the end bay of the roof above. |
