Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to produce a heritage assessment for Thornleigh, Cox Hill, Chacewater, Cornwall. This work was undertaken on behalf of a Private Client as part of a planning submission for a two storey extension to a residential dwelling. A building is shown on historic mapping occupying the site of Thornleigh from at least the 1840s and the footprint of the building shown on the 1880s Ordnance Survey First Edition map aligns closely to the property which is still extant, although with some alterations apparent to the rear elevation. The property appears to have been internally modernised with most interior features removed although the interior was not fully inspected. The concrete block garage building to the west of the house appears to have been built between the 1970s and 1990s and a bathroom extension was added to the east in the 1990s. The property appears likely to have comprised a miner’s smallholding. As a roadside miner’s smallholding on the outskirts of Chacewater, it makes a contribution to the Outstanding Universal Value of the WHS and although not recorded on the HER it should be considered to be an undesignated heritage asset. A number of recommendations have been made as part of this report as to how the property could be extended in a sympathetic manner, retaining its heritage value. Programmes of building recording and archaeological monitoring could also be used to mitigate any changes to the heritage asset. |
