Abstract: |
Between January and June 2016, AS conducted historic building monitoring and recording during approved alterations carried out at 20 Fishpool Street, St. Albans. This followed on from a previous historic building assessment also conducted by AS in 2015. Though described in the list description as having 16th century origins, the fragmentary remains of a crown-post roof likely extends the date range back further than previously expected. Overall, four principal phases of development can be discerned within the building, with the initial construction of the historic core during the late medieval period. The arrangement at both ground and first floor level with two open bays does no entirely conform to patterns of domestic use and provides a point of interest regarding its original function, though further evidence is needed to elucidate the form. The next substantial phase saw the addition of the rear range in the 17th century, with a small number of 18th century elements visible and a general upgrading and extension in the early to mid-19th century. The current planned works have seen much of the 1960s fabric removed exposing the historic fabric below and features of interest include the discovery of 18th century shutters, that must have been brought in from elsewhere during the 19th century phase of work. |
