Abstract: |
Greenlane Archaeology produced a Level 2/3 building recording of Rayrigg Hall Cottage, Windermere, in January 2017. The buildings at Rayrigg Hall were subject to a previous building recording by English Heritage, which established that the main hall is probably of late 17th century origin, with several phases of later extension and that the range of outbuildings including the cottage was probably added in the late 18th century. The initial phase of construction probably provided a coach house and associated stable and tack room with accommodation above. This was enlarged by a single-bay extension to the east, which incorporated a very large fireplace which perhaps served the household at Rayrigg Hall or the wider estate. The fireplace was later substantially modified to include a large bread oven and associated features, suggesting it may have been used as a communal bake house. By at least the middle of the 19th century the building was used largely for accommodation, perhaps as a result of the construction of a new stable block and modernisation of cooking facilities, and further additions and changes were made in the 20th century. |
