Abstract: |
A building report was requested on Four Winds at Bushey Ground, Charterville, Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 31573 09801). This is a cottage of the Chartist Land movement, and as such is a listed building. Minster Lovell is a historic parish in the district of West Oxford. In the 1840s a farm was purchased in the parish to be the site of a Chartist village, which became known as Charterville. In four of these settlements the buildings were standardised as single storey cottages containing three rooms, behind which was a lean-to structure around a courtyard, which also contained pigsties and fowl sheds. The current building contains the historic front part of the structure, but the rear of the building appears to have seen drastic alterations to the lean-to buildings and the pigsties. The back range and the outbuildings to a large extent have lost their historical integrity. The rear range of the building has also been identified as being structurally unsound. The main concerns about the historical structure is what occurs in the front part of the building with the rooms labelled (G1, G2, and G3 on fig. 13). Here it is apparent that certain parts of the historical walls will be lost, but the only remaining historic fireplace will be retained. As this is a listed building the Historic England criteria for assessment indicates that this will have a high impact on a national asset. However, the harm being done should be considered less than substantial - minor. |
