Abstract:
In September 2012, Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out an archaeological watching brief during the removal of the chimney stack to The King's Head Hotel, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 1EE. The work was commissioned by Brightwood Ltd to satisfy a condition placed on planning consent in relation to the building's proposed conversion to residential and commercial use. The site has a long history as an inn, with a reference made to it in an 18th-century document. There have been extensive alterations and modifications to the building over time, resulting in the fragmentation of much of the early structure. The chimney stack was identified to be part of this earlier phase and was therefore considered to be a sensitive part of the structure. The watching brief revealed that there were some parts of an early fireplace remaining. This was reduced in size in successive phases, resulting in the removal of the original flue. The last major phase of alteration saw a small fireplace inserted in the south face of the stack and a large kitchen fireplace created on the northern side. Subsequently, much of the first-floor part of the stack was removed, except for what was probably a small first-floor fireplace. This was removed in the later 20th century and the upper part of the stack was completely rebuilt.
