Abstract:		 An archaeological building survey and monitoring and recording was carried out by Oakford Archaeology between February 2018 and September 2019, at Little Stamborough, Old Cleeve, Somerset. The layout of the house perpetuates that of an earlier house, which was probably first constructed as a three room and cross-passage house in the mid-late 15th century. The ends of the house were probably enclosed by the early 16th century to provide spacious first-floor chambers and servants accommodation. By the 17th century it had become a house of some comfort and wealth as is attested by the insertion of a large fireplace in the hall and the construction of a new partition and fireplace in the former hall, reflecting its use as a parlour. In addition, the house was extended by the addition of a small cross wing The house suffered a slow decline throughout the 18th century as is attested from the documentary research and it is clear that from the early-mid 19th century its history is tied up with the new farms of Stamborough and Stamborough Barton. Due to changing land ownership and an increase in the number of agricultural labourers, the surviving house was subdivided into three small properties. At this time the southern half of the original front elevation was demolished and rebuilt to provide access to the new properties. The southern part of the present house, having lost its southern screen, remained the larger dwelling, whereas the two northern dwellings were very small. The dwellings were finally united once more in the 20th century and the interior of the house was substantially altered.
