Abstract: |
In August 2020 Cotswold Archaeology undertook a programme of Historic Building Recording in respect of Oakengrove, Shire Lane, Hastoe, Buckinghamshire. The programme of historic building recording was required to satisfy a condition attached to a planning permission for extensions to the building. Oakengrove was designed by local architect William Huckvale and constructed as a pair of farm workers cottages on the estate of Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild. Huckvale was a prolific architect for the Rothschild Estate and designed many buildings in the local vicinity, including landmark buildings in Tring town centre such as the Natural History Museum. Oakengrove was amalgamated into a single dwelling during the mid-20th-century, since when the building has undergone much internal reconfiguration and redecoration. Consequently, little remains in terms of internal fixtures and fittings, however, the exterior of the house retains many architectural features that were associated with Huckvale's style of design including timber framing, tall chimneys, hanging tiles and jetties. The focus of the record was the western and northern portions of the building, which will be affected by the permitted development. The record evidences several instances of alteration and phased development, particularly within the northern extent of the building where rooms have been opened out and an external porch enclosed to form an internal room. Broadly, fixtures and fittings are modern and do not date to the original construction of the building. |
