Abstract: |
In March 2017, Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a historic building watching-brief during works to 23 Bell Street, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire (NGR TQ 5110 1014). The work was commissioned by Mr Robbie Nelson to satisfy a condition placed on listed building consent for the building's alteration (planning ref. 3/16/1879/FUL). The works include a part-change of use of a retail unit (A1) to residential (C3) as well as the replacement of an existing timber-framed rear extension with a new single- and two-storey extension. The house was originally built in the early/mid-16th century, seemingly as the high-status end of a timber-framed house which was built with a fully-floored hall from the outset. The rest of the structure survives as No. 21 Bell Street which adjoins to the west. The house was extended to the rear c.1700 at the same time as two chimneys were inserted and much of the internal structure and roof was rebuilt. The house was extended to the rear again c.1800 with a timber-framed workshop. Around the same time a brick façade was built on the street elevation and the house was subdivided into its present form. |
