Abstract: |
In May 2007 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building recording of 50 Market Place, Brackley, Northamptonshire in response to proposals for the conversion of buildings on the site for residential use.The property is a complex of three rubble stone buildings with a narrow carriageway to the south and a stone outhouse in the walled garden to the rear. The earliest building is the L-shaped structure on the street frontage (Building 1), which is probably early 18th century. The second floor of the street range appears to have been raised in the late 18th century, when the new window openings with box seats were created, the brickwork added to the chimneys and display cupboards added.Building 2, which lies to the rear of Building 1 is of similar date, but appears to have functioned separately to Building 1. It has a double chimney serving an inglenook fireplace and a large blocked window in the first floor opening onto the more easily accessible lane to the north of the property. It is thought possible that this functioned in some sort of commercial aspect such as cookhouse or brewhouse with goods going in and/or out of the window.There is cartographic evidence that Building 3 and its extension were extant by 1830. It has undergone extensive restoration and no original features have survived internally. |
