Abstract: |
In September 2020 Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by Fuller Smith and Turner Plc to undertake a programme of Historic Building Recording in respect of The Hinds Head Hotel, Aldermaston, West Berkshire. The Historic Building Recording was undertaken to form a record of those parts of the Building to be altered by approved works to the Building. The recording was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to Listed Building Consent for the 'rebuild of failing boundary wall' and the 'support of defective beam at ground floor ceiling to restaurant' (20/00113/LBC2). The beam appears to be of the same appearance as the beams used within the core of the 17th-century structure and the proximity of the beam to the 17thcentury core suggests that it may form a structural component of the earliest part of the Hinds Head. The beam therefore contributes to the evidential and historical (illustrative) value of the Hinds Head as a prominent coaching inn with 17th century origins. The boundary wall along Basingstoke Road is predominantly of Flemish Garden Wall bond, which was popular from the 18th century and indicates that the wall likely has 18th-century origins. |
