Abstract: |
In October 2014, AS Ltd conducted historic building assessment at Barnhurst, Albury Road, Little Hadham, Hertfordshire. The work was done to assess the impact of a proposed porch on the historic fabric or setting of the building. In its original form the barn comprised a three-bay timber-framed structure with a steeply pitched hipped roof covered in thatch and a large porch on the east side. It is constructed reusing a substantial amount of timber from a previous building, possibly one of medieval date, but clues in the framing of the barn suggest a 17th century date for construction. Conversion to a domestic dwelling c.1936 ended the use of the site for agricultural purposes, and little physical evidence remains of that phase. It is likely that any earlier fixtures and fittings of that date were removed following a fire in 1990. Inspection of the western elevation reveals that the external appearance is entirely a modern application with modern render, windows and the door. Internally, timber-framing survives in the outer bays but the central bay wall is entirely of modern construction. The agricultural origins of the building are little evident from the street and the physical addition of a porch structure would have no impact on any historic fabric. |
