Abstract: |
Tudor House Museum designated Grade II* No 38-42 used for over 475 years as weavers/ merchants houses/ a brewhouse, tavern, bakery and coffee house, meeting rooms under Richard Cadburys, [3rd son of the Richard Cadbury of the Cadbury Brothers chocolate factory in Bournville, Birmingham,] ownership, followed by a clinic, education officers ,dentist and finally later in the 20th century a folk museum and the 'Tudor House Museum' as it is today. The main buildings especially cellars and attic rooms yield high architectural evidence of the buildings earlier uses, along with a good evidential example of a 17th century ceiling on the first floor. Many of the former outbuildings and gable wings were lost in the mid-20th Century with the development of the multi-storey car park and the rear elevations reflect this as remnants of former 16th century 17th century gable wings. Much of Yeates and Jones's 1910 -1913 new buildings were also lost to the car park but a toilet block and external staircase remain and are a reminder of this phase of the buildings evolution. It was during this time that the main building underwent a major internal reconfiguration and changes to external fenestration and shop front, and was opened up as one building. This report includes assessment of significance of the heritage asset and analysis of the historic fabric as found on 4th June and 19th June 2020 equivalent to a Level 2 Building Recording, Understanding Historic Buildings A Guide to Good Recording Practice Historic England May 2016 |
