Abstract: |
A level 2 historic building recording was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd on The Castle Inn, Dennis Road, Hugglescote, Leicestershire. The work was undertaken on the 11th of September 2015 during conversion of the property by Richard Aston. The Inn lies in the historic core of Hugglescote on the North side of Dennis Road. Near to the Inn are existing 17th and 16th century buildings. An evaluation earlier in 2015 by CFA revealed only 20th century deposits in the car park and grassed area next to the Inn. The original core of the building was found to be brick built with mortared stone foundations dating to the late 17th or early 18th century. The floor joists, beams, purlins and hip rafters were found to be original, made from pit-sawn and hewn hardwood. In the late 18th or early 19th century the cellar was improved for beer barrel storage and later an extension to the property was made to the east. In the 1890s a hall was built to the rear. Further improvements were made to the cellar and floors in the early 20th century. The floorboards on the 1st floor and attic were replaced with concrete laid on reeds and the chimney stack was removed from the ground floor to create a large bar area. The latest extension to the Inn was made in the 1980s. |
