July 2011. Watching Brief.
Demolition of the former rear extension of the building and excavation of foundation trenches for a new extension were monitored. All walls and surfaces removed during the demolition appeared to be modern. It had been suggested that the present building was constructed on the footprint of an earlier cross passage house, but no evidence of earlier foundations was observed. The only features recorded were a small section of the foundations of the present building, a red brick soakaway, and modern services.
