Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, University College London, was commissioned by Mr Rick Fieldwick to undertake an archaeological watching brief and historic building recording work at Wick Farm, Albourne, in advance of development to the property including ground reduction and the removal of three internal walls. The combined sub-surface and standing buildings archaeological investigations identified at least six phases of development, including the truncated mid to late 16th century remains of a timber framed building complete with smoke bay and rear lean-to outshot. The timber frame of the Phase 1 building was truncated at the parlour end by the addition of a two storey high-end crosswing. The up-grading of the building represent the second phase of development and is also of mid to late 16th century, the addition of which served to truncate the parlour bay of the Phase 1 range which was partially retained as a passage/hall-way linking the two separate phases of activity. Later modifications carried out in the mid to late 17th century included the insertion of a masonry and brick built stack into the former smoke-bay and the construction of an end lean-to, in ashlar to indicate an increase in wealth and perhaps also status of the owners of the building. By the early 18th century the entire building was subject to modernisation to rationalise the floor plan and create a unified exterior, this time constructed wholly in brick. |
