Abstract: |
In October 2017 AS carried out a programme of historic building and archaeological monitoring and recording at 4 Church Green, Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The monitoring was undertaken in order to comply with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the creation of a self-contained first floor flat and single-storey rear extension to a ground floor restaurant. The assessment building forms the western element of a larger building occupying a corner plot of land facing over Church Green. Though little diagnostic evidence survives within the building, the good external brickwork with fine rubbed brick voussoirs and a number of sash windows are all consistent with a date for construction in the middle decades of the 19th century. Clues might indicate this part of the building was originally domestic, and was given the existing shop front in the Edwardian period, while remodelling throughout the 20th century has denuded the interior of most historic features. A foundation trench was excavated in the rear yard which encountered two layers of made ground (L1002 and L1003) and a Staffordshire blue brick paved yard surface (L1000) set into a coke rich gritty levelling layer (L1001). |
