Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out a historic building recording of Block 6, Lambourn Business Park, Lambourn Woodlands, Hungerford, Berkshire (SU 32134 76211). The building originated as part of RAF Membury Airfield, a dispersed airfield camp with 12 sites, established in 1942 as a bomber operational training unit at Lambourn Woodlands. The main site was surrounded by 11 dispersed sites, including the communal site, instructional site and W.A.A.F site. The study building is situated at the airfield's former communal site and was the airfield's gymnasium and chapel. The building comprises three units of different size, arranged longitudinally; The northern two buildings are brick built structures dating to WWII, while the southern building is a post-war addition, built of concrete block. The original WWII structures, here designated buildings A and B, were built as a combined gymnasium and chapel in 1942. The plan of both buildings has not been altered significantly, however of the original fittings and fixtures few survive. These are limited to the longitudinal RSJ, from which ropes could be hung, located in the gymnasium and a series of original metal windows, located in both buildings. The later southern building is a post-war addition; however, the roof structure and several windows appear to have been re-used from a wartime structure. |
