Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of 31 and 33 High Street, Husbands Bosworth, Leicestershire (NGR SP 64324 84316), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Mr H. Leak in advance of the proposed conversion of the building into four residential units. The limited historical and cartographic sources available would suggest that the buildings originated as a pre-enclosure village farm, the house fronting the High Street and outbuildings to the rear. There is a straight joint between No. 31 and 33, suggesting that the two are not contemporary. The building recording recorded sufficient evidence to indicate that No. 31 at least dates to the mid 18th century, but with potentially an earlier core, extensive internal works have removed the majority of the historical or architectural features within No. 33. The building is likely to have undergone 19th and early 20th century remodelling, this remodelling also included the possible additional of a second floor. The building recording confirmed the buildings as mid 18th century in date and creates a permanent visual and descriptive record of the buildings in their current condition prior to permitted works. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A117.2019. |
