Abstract:		 In July 2020 Cotswold Archaeology undertook a programme of conditioned building recording conducted during the removal of a timber floor in the anteroom of Grade I listed Dodington House consented under Listed Building Consent P19/4307/LB. The floor is to be removed in order to replace it with stone, which is felt to be the originally intended and/or more appropriate material for the hallway nature of the room and to provide a cohesive scheme with the stone floors of the staircase hall, into which it flows from the garden terrace. The obiective of the recording was to observe the removal of the floor and its substructure in order to gain an understanding of the relationship of the floor to the vaulted basement below and to identify historic structural features and other fabric which provide information on the nature of the floor and its associated structure and allow it to be preserved by record prior to its removal. The recording identified that the oak timber floor was supported on softwood joists which in turn were supported by lateral brick piers with oak bearers built up from the groin vault structure below in the basement. A rectangular opening in the centre of the room formed a void within which a central stove had been present. The stove may be original to the room (which was completed after the architect's death) or inserted sometime in the 19th century. Infill of various sizes and quality was discovered along with the survival of much of the lime based pugging insulation at joist level. Various alterations over the years were evident in the joists particularly, where the addition, removal and notching of the timber joists was conducted to allow for the insertion of electrical/telecommunication cables and heating services, this includes the removal of the stove at some point in the 20th century,
