Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology were commissioned to conduct a Level 2 Historic Building Survey and archaeological evaluation on the site of 'The Retreat' in Abridge, Essex, RM14 1AU. The works were commissioned after recommendations from the Historic Environment Consultant for Essex County Council, as a condition of planning attached to applications EPF/2006/14 and EPF/1471/17. The building survey was conducted over a series of visits between January and early March 2015 prior to the demolition of the property in late-2015, and the evaluation took place in October 2017. The historic building survey established that the majority of the standing structure known as 'The Retreat' dated from the mid-to-later-19th century, with an earlier cellar below the central portion of the western street frontage, and a modern, 1960s extension to the south and east. The cellar produced bricks of a relatively early date, 18th to early 19th century, and the walls included the use of bond timbers, which were primarily used during the same period. The aboveground structure included the original three-bayed frontage built around a timber frame construction and lath and plaster panelling, probably with single storey rear rooms in the southern two bays, and maybe a two storey eastern extension in the north corner. The eastern extension was lengthened in the later-19th century with reuse of some timbers and brickwork from the previous incarnation of the building. A modern, breeze-block, extension to the south and east of the original building led to extensive remodelling of the interior and rebuilding of the roof structure, along with insertion of new windows.
