Abstract: |
A Level 2 survey demonstrated that Thorne Roughets is a timber-framed lobby-entrance house of probable 18th-century origin. The building originally comprised two rooms, either side of the lobby, and was open to the rafters. The roof was thatched and the narrow central bay contained a chimney stack. In the later 18th century, a first floor was inserted (possibly replacing an earlier floor) and staircase created between the lobby and the chimney. At some point before the 19th century the gable walls were rendered and decorated. Map evidence and structural analyses indicate the house was extended in the 19th century, when a lean-to was built along the rear of the property and a two-storey extension with different roof-line built to the north. The northern extension saw openings cut though the northern gable wall of the house at ground and first-floor levels. The original thatched roof was also exchanged for slates at this point. The house was further altered during the later 20th century, with the erection of a breeze-block extension to the north-east and the creation of a southern-lean to extension. The porch appears to have been added during this period, and the kitchen extended eastwards. All of these building projects appear to have occurred within a relatively short time-frame and coincided with an orchestrated attempt to create mock-timber framing within the existing building to complement those elements of the frame which are still visible. |
