Abstract: |
In November 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an historic building recording on a building known as the Dairy, and an adjoining cart-shed at St Osyth Priory, St Osyth, Essex (NGR: TM 1203 1565). The buildings are curtilage listed by virtue of their association with the adjoining 16th century tithe barn and other historic structures in close proximity. The recording formed the first step of a programme of ongoing monitoring and was required to comply with a planning condition from Tendring Council (Planning Ref. TEN/01008/14). Technical analysis suggests that the Dairy is a misnomer, as the existing building was clearly constructed as a stable with hay-loft in the mid-19th century. It may, however stand on the site of an earlier dairy, and retained its title. The building survives as an elegant example of its type with Gothic decorative features, though most internal features have been lost. The adjoining cart-shed is probably of late 17th century date, with some later modifications, but surviving in good condition. The tithe barn (which has previously been recorded to EH Level 3), stables and cart-shed will be subject to monitoring and recording during the planned works and all information gathered will be used to augment this report. |
