A programme of building recording was undertaken during the demolition process in 2001. While the extensive survival of 17th-century floor frames and roof was not entirely unexpected, the details recorded during dismantling have allowed for a significantly different interpretation of the form of the 17th-century house than was previously understood. In addition, the identification of a pre-17th- century building, albeit represented by only five in-situ timbers, is of particular interest. (3)
