Abstract: |
The aim of the building recording was to provide a detailed record and assessment of the outbuilding prior to any restoration works being undertaken. The building recording was carried out to Level 1 (Historic England 2016) which is defined as:
“Level 1 is essentially a basic visual record, supplemented by the minimum of information needed to identify the building’s location, age and type. This is the simplest record, and it will not normally be an end in itself, but will be contributory to a wider study. Typically it will be undertaken when the objective is to gather basic information about a large number of buildings – for statistical sampling, for area assessments to identify buildings for planning purposes, and whenever resources are limited and much
ground has to be covered in a short time. It may also serve to identify buildings requiring more detailed attention at a later date.”
In particular the record considered the:
Plan form of the site.
Materials and method of construction.
Date(s) of the structure.
Original function and layout.
Original and later fixtures and fittings.
Significance of the site in its immediate local context. A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester
Archaeological Trust on a gateway at Gatehouse Farm, Thorrington, Essex in October 2020. The gateway is constructed of red bricks, laid in an irregular English-bond, and dates from the early 16th century. Despite several phases of repair, including the addition of two buttresses on its south-eastern elevation, the fabric of the gateway has significantly deteriorated and now requires considerable restoration. |
