Abstract: |
In July 2013 AS carried out a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording at the Brew House, St Osyth's Priory, Essex (NGR TM 1210 1570). The recording was commissioned by City and Country Residential Ltd. in order to fulfil a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent imposed on approval to repair, convert and extend the building. This forms the second phase of an earlier recording carried out by AS in 2006 (Goldsmith et al 2006) which included the brewhouse and tithe barn. The 'brewhouse' is located within the scheduled ancient monument of St Osyth's Priory in Essex, which dates to the early 12th century but was later raised to the status of an Augustine abbey. The priory was dissolved in 1539 and by 1558 had been acquired by Lord Thomas Darcy who carried out substantial phases of rebuilding. Although complex, technical analysis shows the assessment building to be of three main phases, of which the earliest comprises the lower stonework and roof structure. This bears marked similarities to that seen on work ascribed to Lord Darcy and so is likely part of this phase of work after 1558. The roof form is consistent with this date or even earlier, while the brickwork appears to be of a 17th or 18th century date and may represent a rebuilding or raising of the pre-existing structure. In the 19th century a lean-to was added to the rear of the building, perhaps itself in two phases. Later still, the copper was added and most ephemeral fixtures and fittings which survive relate to the buildings latter use as a standing room for milk. |
