Abstract: |
In June 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording scheme at The Cannon Tavern, 1-3 The Bourne, Ware, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 3565 1476). The recording was undertaken in advance of the conversion of the building to 3 selfcontained residential units and proposals to convert the adjacent cottage back to a dwelling with first floor extension. The were carried out as part of a planning condition in advance of/during the proposed alteration works to the building (EHDC Planning Ref. 3/16/1039/FUL). The project was carried out in accordance with advice issued by Hertfordshire County Council Historic Environment Advisor (HCC HEA, dated 12th August 2016), and a specification compiled by AS (dated 26th April 2017) and approved by HCC HEU and the LPA. Technical analysis confirms earlier historical and physical study which attributes its origins as a late medieval open hall. Substantial elements of the original building survive, particularly at upper level, while the roof appears little touched. The hall is formed of two unequal bays, the more narrow probably representing a smoke-bay, later superseded by a brick stack and converted to a conventional lobby-entry arrangement in the 17th century. The building was further upgraded in the early 19th century, when it assumed its existing plan form and appearance. |
