Abstract: |
Sodington Hall is a scheduled ancient monument and consent for the works was obtained from English Heritage. It was established that the outbuilding should be recorded prior to demolition and a watching brief be undertaken on associated groundworks. The building recording element was not carried out as the building was demolished prior to any archaeological involvement. The architect and contractor did however draw elevations of the building and take photographs of the building from a number of angles. The building comprised a single storey brick building with a pitched roof of plain tiles and low pitched extension to the east. The groundworks revealed part of the structure of a brick-built cellar or cold room and a well that had been disturbed by the footings of the outbuilding. Two further brick footings were revealed to the north of the footings, during the renewal of drainage, which had been also been cut by a ceramic and concrete drain. The form of the bricks indicates a 19th Century date and it is thought that these structures relate to earlier phases of the post 1807 building. The findings correspond with an earlier watching brief on the modern extension to the west of the outbuilding, in which red brick footings dating to the 19th - 20th Century were recorded together with an earlier well. |
