Abstract: |
John Moore heritage services carried out an historical building assessment on the remains of 21 and 23 Wallingford Street, Wantage (NGR SU 39960 87900). Planning consent had been given previously for the renovation of these structures, but in initiating this work it was revealed that much of the structure was unsound (and in the words of the structural engineer the building has lost its structural integrity). In accepting the structural problems of the building (which is not the area of expertise for an architectural historian to comment on), this report sets out the apparent historical development from any surviving architectural details in complete acknowledgement that the damage to the building may be such that it can not be retained. The buildings probably originated in the 16th or early 17th centuries, and have had considerable additions. Surviving steep roof pitches in certain places, timber framing, and a slight jettied overhang on the east façade indicates the early date. The front of both buildings was undoubtedly replaced with new shop fronts in the Victorian period. |
