Abstract: |
In January and April 2015 and May 2017 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording at Moor Place House, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire (Centred at NGR TL 42150 18915). The work was commissioned by Dr Stephan Roh and Hox Design Arcitects. The work was carried out to satisfy conditions placed on planning permission and listed building consent by the Natural, Historic and Built Environment Advisory Team, Hertfordshire County Council (planning refs. 3/14/0761/FP and 3/14/0762/LB) and involved the compilation of a historic building record of the building in its current state prior to the approved alterations and repairs being carried out. The original report produced in 2015 has been updated with the results of additional recording carried out during alteration works. The building was recorded at English Heritage Level 3. Moor Place is located west of the village of Much Hadham, set in formal grounds with a rural setting. The earliest extant part of the house was constructed between 1777 and 1779, designed by the architect Robert Mitchell for James Brebner Gordon, replacing an earlier building known from documentary references to have occupied a site a short distance to the east. During the second half of the 19th century, the building was much extended with ranges being added to the north and south; the south range was subsequently substantially remodelled or, most likely, replaced in the early 20th century. All three ranges retain many of their original fixtures and fittings and much of the original layout is discernible, which forms a key part of the building's significance. |
