Abstract: |
The Archaeology Unit of Southampton City Council carried out an archaeological building survey of Pond Cottage, Lower Sandy Down Lane, Boldre, Lymington, SO41 8PP in response to a condition on Planning Application 12/97342. The cottage is listed Grade II. The cottage was built-in the mid-19th century in a distinctive Sussex bond brick pattern and consisted of a two-up two-down main block with an outshot behind, all under a slate roof. The main block had a kitchen and parlour downstairs with two bedrooms above; the outshot contained a scullery and larder at ground floor level with a store room and third bedroom under the roof. Nearby stood a brick-built earth-closet, also in Sussex bond and undoubtedly of the same date. The building had undergone little alteration since it was built, and was a well-preserved example of a 19th century New Forest smallholder's dwelling. Historic documents suggest the plot on which the cottage stands was part of the estate of Thomas Salter, described as a yeoman at his death in 1837, and the Salters owned land in the vicinity in the 18th century. Early 19th century maps show a building in a different place on the plot, but the present building is shown on the 1868 map. In 1851 Ann Salter inherited the plot and the census of that year records her in residence together with her son Thomas and his wife Sarah Ann, and it may be that Ann Salter had the cottage built. |
