Abstract: |
The building recording was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation agreed with West Berkshire District Council (JMHS 2023) Records were made following the conventions outlined in Historic England’s Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice (Lane 2016) and in accordance JMHS Field Manual (2021). Details concerning subject and direction of view were be maintained in a photographic register, indexed by frame number. In summary the work consisted of the following components: • A photographic record, with suitable scales, that includes all external elevations, all internal room spaces, and roof structures (where safely accessible) and details of any architectural or functional fixtures, fittings and features of the extensions proposed for demolition. • An investigation, analysis and description of the fabric of these structures, to elucidate its history, and an analysis of the evidence for this history using archaeological methods. • The creation of a record of the existing structure in its present condition and its setting, employing photography, scale drawings, or with the use of existing scale drawings supplied by the client or their agent. A historic building record was made of a rear extension to the Grade II listed Awberry Farmhouse prior to and during its demolition. The extension was a 19th century addition to the building that had been subject to later alteration and further extension in the 20th century. Numerous extant features of the 19th century structure were recorded, including the structural elements of the timber framed first floor and brick walling of the ground floor. Decorative details of 19th century date included interior mouldings, fireplace surround and panelling. |
