Abstract: |
In October 2013, Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a historic building watching-brief during works to 1 Dove Cottages, Fletching Road, Mayfield, East Sussex, TN20 6TL. The work was commissioned by Shaun Raubenheimer to satisfy a condition placed on listed building consent for the building's refurbishment and alteration. This follows on from a Heritage Statement including Archaeological Interpretative Survey produced by Alan Dickinson MRICS (Dickinson 2013) prior to listed building consent for alterations being sought. The recent works, which included partial surface stripping of wall and ceiling finishes, have revealed evidence to demonstrate that the partition between the two living rooms at ground floor level is a later insertion, having replaced an earlier stave partition. The joists to the former service room (Living Room 02) appear to be of later date than those of the main hall and do not fit the mortices in the tie beam snugly. Coupled with other alterations already identified by the Archaeological Interpretative Survey, this may suggest that a later re-build of the western bay of the house occurred, probably in the 18th century. Elsewhere in the building, the current programme of works had exposed some elements of the original early 17th century timber frame, including a former window in the landing partition. |
