Abstract:		 As the result of a condition on planning consent for the demolition of a number of buildings, including a brick-built barn, at the Burgess site, Wratten Road East, Hitchin and their replacement with new residential dwellings, the Heritage Network was commissioned to create a record of the buildings in advance of the demolition works. The barn at the Burgess site was in existence by 1818. It appears originally to have formed the south-western end of a longer range, extending back from Tilehouse Street. The observed evidence suggests that it formed a barn or cart shed, open on the north-western side and with a timber framed wall to the south-eastern side. The timber framing to this elevation, which is infilled with brick noggin, survives in reasonably good condition. At some point in the mid 19th century the open frontage was enclosed in brick. Possibly at the same time Bay 1, at the north-eastern end, was enclosed to form a dwelling or storage. Bay 4, at the south-western end, was also apparently partitioned to form a number of smaller spaces with brick walls, again possibly in the mid 19th century. Monitoring of the exaction of service trenches, both within the barn and the adjacent extension, and within the yard to the north of the building, revealed a considerable depth of overburden.
