Abstract: |
In July 2006 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building recording of Amwell Barn, Down Green Lane, Wheathampstead in response to proposals for the refurbishment of buildings on the site. The building is a detached structure with gardens to the front and rear and a driveway to the north. It consists of a central, brick built 2-storeyed building orientated north to south (Building 1), with a single storey, timber framed section to the north (Building 2) and a 2-storey timber framed building on a half height supporting dwarf wall to the south (Building 3). The latter has been extended to provide a single storey kitchen under a catslide roof. The timber framing on both buildings has brick infill. The roofs are all clay tiled. There is a chimney at either end of the central stack and another in the southeast corner of the southern stackAmwell Barn is depicted on the 1842 Tithe Map much as it is today but with an outhouse to the front of it. Building 1 appears to have a 17th century core, which was rebuilt in the 18th century when Building 2 is likely to have been added. Building 2 itself appears to be an 18th century structure that was brought in from elsewhere. The evidence suggests that Building 3 also has a 17th century core and may also have been added to Building 1 in the 18th century. Although the porch is a 20th century addition, there seems to have been little other alteration to the internal arrangements of the rooms. |
