Abstract:		 Planning permission and listed building consent (14/03066/LBC) were granted by Bedford Borough Council for development at 51 High Street, Roxton, Bedfordshire. A condition requiring a programme of archaeological observation and historic building recording was attached to the planning condition. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the necessary works The buildings surveyed were a timber-framed barn and a brick and timber-framed building referred to as the stables. At the time of the survey the buildings had been adapted as residential outbuildings. Formerly, they were part of a farm attached to 51 High Street, a Grade II listed 17th-century house.The barn was probably built during the 17th century, originally with three bays. The trusses to the central bay have deep, curved braces. The walls are framed with full-height studs, originally with wattle and daub infill but later clad in weatherboard. During the 19th century a narrow extension was added to the east side of the central bay and a fourth bay was added at the south end of the barn. In the 20th century the end walls were rebuilt in brick and the roof was completely replaced. Following the survey the building was adapted for residential use.The stables had walls of timber-frame and weatherboard, brick and blockwork with a pantile roof. The building is shown on late 19th-century maps and was substantially rebuilt during the late 20th century. The earlier parts of the building consisted of the rear (north) wall and a loft floor in the central compartments. The loft floor was of slatted timber construction and may have been added in the late 19th or early 20th century as an onion drying loft. In the late 20th century the south front and east end walls were entirely rebuilt and the south slope of the roof was rebuilt and extended. Since the survey was completed the building has been demolished and replaced with a new residential property.
