Abstract: |
Ecus Ltd were commissioned by the National Trust to undertake Historic Building Recording and Archaeological Monitoring of the Tattershall Castle Curzon Latrine, Tattershall, Lincolnshire. The programme of work was required so as to provide an accurate record and archive of the building prior to the commencement of stabilisation works. The requirement for the stabilisation works was identified following the completion of a conservation management plan (OAA, 2008). The historic building recording was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) which was prepared by Ecus Ltd (Appendix 1). The WSI was agreed with the National Trust Archaeologist prior to the commencement of the project. The Curzon lodge latrine is a small, simply constructed brick building. It was constructed in 1914 in preparation for the opening of the castle to the public. The building is constructed in a simple, robust vernacular style in materials which reflect those of the castle; however the building also makes use of modern materials such as concrete and is easily identifiable as a modern building. The retaining wall which runs behind the latrine is believed to date to the 15th century. A number of repairs have been undertaken at the southern end of the wall and although the latrine does not make use of the historic fabric of the wall, the plumbing for the latrine has been inserted through the wall. This, coupled with the undermining of the structures by burrowing animals has caused some structural damage to the wall. Earlier repairs have been undertaken and these can easily be identified through their use of heavy concrete pointing and later brick. |
