Abstract:		 This report has been prepared for Mr Wyn Davies and sets out the results of an archaeological building survey and monitoring carried out by Oakford Archaeology in between June and September 2014, at Quay Gardens, Monmouth Avenue, Topsham. The work was carried out as a condition of listed building consent granted by Exeter City Council for the refurbishment and repairs to the barn to use as an Annex and store. The barn is a small structure measuring approximately 12m long, and is aligned east/west. Dating to the 17th century, the building is constructed of cob above Heavitree breccia footings. It is situated to the south of the main house. Quay Gardens is an important historic barn within Topsham, its size reflecting a large and prosperous estate. The barn was probably first constructed in the early 17th century as a threshing barn with opposed doorways, subsequently undergoing a number of renovations and alterations. The most extensive alterations were carried out in the 18th century when the barn was extensively rebuilt, and the original roof arrangement replaced. Despite many later alterations, the building remains substantially as it was at this time. By the 19th century the west end of the barn was rebuilt and openings in the south elevation blocked, possibly in response to the changing use of the building. The roof of the barn appears to have been completely re-built as part of this phase. The barn survived the 20th century with relatively minor alterations possibly because it remained in use as a storage facility and workshop.
