Summary.
APAC Ltd was contacted by the client in order to undertake a program of

archaeological works consisting of a Level III Building Recording Survey;
conditions required by both planning and listed building consent.
APAC Ltd produced a written scheme of investigation for the works; WSI:
BS/MHA/22, and following the agent’s instruction, the building recording survey
was undertaken.
The interpretation of the results demonstrates that the upper storeys of the
building were modern, 20th-century additions; however, a ground-floor structure
was evident at the turn of the 18th/19th centuries.

01 External view of the building from the street to the west and its position to the neighbouring building.
The building presents in an L-shaped formation. A small ground-floor building can also be found in the
southwestern corner of the building’s main courtyard. The rest of the building's site is surrounded by a 2
to 2.5m wall. Around the front of the property is a metre-high stone-built, (partially) crenulated wall.
Behind this wall is a large drop where a stream runs alongside the property. A bridge of sorts has been
built to gain access to the building.
02 Small single-storey building in the southwestern corner of the site. The building is built of random
coursed stone and brick, however, according to the plans provided, not currently within the proposed
works. Also inaccessible at the time of the conducted survey.

Introduction
This building survey report has been prepared by Adam Phillips, A.P.A.C. Ltd, in response to a planning application
for the conversion of a grade II listed building, ‘Mulberry House’, Abergavenny. Due to the building’s Grade II
listing: Cadw ref: 2469, Listed Building Consent (LBC) was applied for, which led to the condition below:
Conversion of Mulberry House to provide 19 apartments (16 within the 1950’s annexe and
three within Mulberry House), conversion of a chapel to a 3-bed home and erection of six
houses and one flat on land to the rear of Mulberry Court including, 34 car park spaces
and associated landscaping works.
MCC: DC/2014/01015 & DC/2014/01016.

The original proposed works were modified when the building complex of ‘Mulberry house’ was divided up into
separate plots and sold separately to different buyers. The proposed planning and listed building consents, however,
remained with the structure, as a whole, as did the conditions.
Condition 3:
No site work shall be undertaken until the implementation of an appropriate programme of

building recording and analysis has been agreed upon with the local planning authority, to
be carried out by a specialist acceptable to the local planning authority and following a
written brief specification.
MCC: DC/2014/01015 & DC/2014/01016.
To satisfy the condition, the client’s agent contacted A.P.AC. Ltd to undertake the work: a Level III building
recording: MON2191/JB.
This building survey report relates only to the southern annexe of ‘Mulberry House’; a three-story addition which
includes a chapel on the first floor. Though the survey itself focuses only on the southern portion of the property, the
background information and relevant history will document the building as a whole as the information is relevant to
the building’s development.
A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) was produced by A.P.AC. Ltd in response to the conditions related to the
proposed works put forward to Monmouthshire County Council (MCC).
Site location
Mulberry House is situated on the corner of Old Hereford Rd and Park Crescent; to the north of Abergavenny town
centre, fig 01. The postcode is NP7 SYT and the NGR: 329728, 214692.
Brief archaeological and historical background

Abergavenny
As a general approach to the historical and archaeological background of Abergavenny, chance finds have produced
evidence of man’s presence since prehistoric times; however, much more is known of the Roman and Medieval
periods, particularly from slum-clearances in the 1950s and 60s and developments in the 1970s. A few of these later
undertakings required archaeological excavations; those in the vicinity of the town, such as Cross Street and Castle
Street produced a great deal of evidence relating to Roman Abergavenny (Gobannium).
The Roman presence was established in 55AD and lasted some 400 years acquiring an accompaniment of civilian,
and extramural settlement around the Roman nucleus. No evidence of post-Roman settlement has yet been found
but a renewed interest in the location; possibly due to surviving infrastructures, returned with the Normans in around
A.D. 1081 (Phillips 2006). Over the next two centuries the town expanded beyond the remains of the Roman
enclosed nucleus, to the new town wall, built in 1241, Cal Pat. Henry III.
6
After some decline in the 14th and 15th centuries, the town prospered and expanded beyond the medieval town walls
and has continued to grow ever since. Late 18th-century interest brought specialist industries to the town which were
well served by the evolving canal and later, rail infrastructures.
Heritage asset search
As mentioned above, Mulberry house is Grade II listed, CADW Ref No: 2469. The listing is not for “Mulberry
House”, but rather its earlier name of “Ty'r Morwydd” (St Michael's Convent). The listing states the building to be:
“Late C18. Extended to the north in 1956 (dated). The house was probably reroofed at this
time and given the dormers and new chimneys. The house became a Convent of Breton
nuns in 1906 and they ran a girls' school for many years…”
The building is listed for its:
special interest as a well-preserved late C18 house, which, despite later alterations and
extensions, has retained its character and which has group value with the other listed
buildings in Pen-y-pound – ibid.
Unfortunately, this listing doesn’t offer any information on the section of the building on which this report is based;
however, it is always worth considering the local setting of a site when considering its history.
Firstly, of note in the listings, is the CADW listing for the entrance gates to the property, CADW ref No: 86899,
listed as ‘part value’ with the rest of the property as thought to be late 18th or early 19th-century.
To gather historical background information, a 500m and 100m radial search was conducted, centred on the given
NGR: 329728, 214692 (National Grid Reference); as shown in fig 02.
Within the 500m search, the site’s proximity to the Abergavenny conservation area can be seen. The search
parameter also includes the Historic Park & Gardens of Bailey Park – PGW (GT0 60(MON); Grade II listed and
dating back to 1884, when it was installed by the prominent ironmaster Crawshay Bailey.
Also, within the 500m search are 22 listed designations; all reproduced in the table below. The records marked with
a * are listings directly connected, or within a 100m vicinity of the site.

Mulberry House
Documentary evidence for Mulberry House: formerly Pen Y Pound, provides a date of at least the mid-18th century
for its presence:
The house known as Pen y pound belonged in the 18th century to Thomas Williams, Gent.
By his will, dated 1st October 1784, he leaves to his son John several messuages in Pen y
pound and the dwelling house with the reservoir for water, for which, and the passage of it
through his yard, he was paid 11s per annum. . These he had purchased of John Arnold,
plumber and the trustees of the duke of Beaufort’.
‘At this period Pen-y-pound house was occupied by Sir James Harington, Seventh Baronet
of Ridlington, who had retired here through the stress of finances.
(Bradney, J.A., 1906. repr 1991 p 181)
Confirmation of buildings at the site is further supplied by the 1800 Town Map of Abergavenny in Coxe which is
reproduced in fig 03, (Coxe, 1801 repr 1995 p166). The inset, the top left has been orientated to the normal
convention to make it more accessible. Of note is the main building, with add-ons west and east and a separate
building along the road; all within an enclosure, at the southwest corner of the formal gardens.
Indigo Planning Limited, (IPL); the architects contracted to undertake a Heritage Appraisal for the original, entire
property of Mulberry House, planning proposal, MCC: DC/2014/01015 & DC/2014/01016, concluded:
that the building is from at least the late 18th century possibly earlier, quoting:
that during the last part of the 18th century the house was occupied by Sir James
Harington, 7th Baronet Ridlington, and his family continued in occupation until the death
of his widow in June 1812’.
Primary source not clear (IPL. 2014, P3 2.8)
As part of the current pre-planning works the agent SUBLIME SPACES, (SS), wrote a second Heritage Appraisal
for Mulberry House. ‘9091-SS-60000 Heritage appraisal’, which provided the following information:
‘The site of the original Mulberry House in Pen-y-Pound sits on approximately 1.37 acres
of land and is a substantial building comprising a late eighteenth-century house with a
conjoined annexe to the south, and a later, sizeable 1950s extension to the north. Mulberry
House is a Grade II listed building (see listing notes below).
8
After passing out of private occupation, in the early 1900s, the building became a convent
run by the Order of St Michael and was subsequently used for schooling. In 1976 it was
then acquired by the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) and used as a field study
centre for inner city children for over 30 years. This is the guise in which the building is
likely to be familiar to many long-standing Abergavenny residents. At this time the Chapel
block (or at least the first-floor chapel area) served as an on-site library, with a collection
of 2,500 volumes. The large outbuilding in the Chapel block courtyard, meanwhile, was
thought to have served as a laboratory
‘These were the Ty'r Morwydd Environmental Studies Centre (both a registered charity and
a company), Mulberry House (a conference centre) and Mulberry House Hostel (a Youth
Hostel Association franchise)’.ibid
(SS. no date)
Bradney also noted in 1906:
It has lately been purchased by the Catholics, and a colony of French nuns has been
established here
(op. cit.).
After passing through multiple occupants in the late 1990s and early 2000s the buildings were split amongst three
companies and a charity. These companies were however short-lived and went into liquidation leaving the properties
as they now stand, unoccupied and ready for redevelopment.
(SS op. cit.).
The chapel annexe
A photograph included in Bradney: therefore pre-1906, shows the former Pen y Pound, the current Mulberry House,
albeit in a pre-rendered state, fig 04. In the right of the photograph behind the tree is a range of buildings: one of a
single-storey, gable-end-on, in the foreground, and one to the rear, of one and a half storeys, aligned to the main
building. It is just possible to see in the bottom left that this probable yard area was accessed through two tall gates.
A later photograph of; Pen-y-pound house, fig 05, focuses centrally on the main building, which has been given a
rendered finish, hiding some of the architectural detail. Also, the road appears to have bee surfaced and there is a
repair to the second step. The photograph was sourced by the agent from Cofflien and permission to reproduce
herein was received from the National Library of Wales, (SS pers com).
Of interest in the picture is the gable end single-storey building bottom right and the dormer window, also to the
right. When enhanced, the straight line on each side of the dormer window is that of the roof of the one-and-a-half-
storey building noted above. The slate tiles are also visible with some photo processing.
Further to the above documentary and historical asset searches, additional cartographic information was gathered to
try to establish the origin of the annexe.
The earliest map that identifies buildings in addition to the main house can be seen in the 1845 Tithe Map, fig 06.
The central building in pink included in the bottom left of enclosure 387 is that of Mulberry House (Pen y Pound).
The tithe map links to apportionment No, 387, which states that in 1845 the property was called ‘tithe of mill’ and
the land was marked as a house, gardens, and yards. The land was both owned and occupied at this point by Vennor,
Henry Esq. The map also shows the Cybi stream, (still in place) that runs along the west of the properties. Given
that the tithe maps are usually somewhat devoid of detail it is surprising to see that the cartographer has added the
little purpose-built walkways/bridges, over the stream that accesses not only Mulberry house, but the southern
annexe as well. These are both still in place today. Also of interest is the property wall to the rear which is consistent
with today but also the land to the south extends across fields as there was no Park Crescent, Road.
The next map included was in the 1991 reprint of Bradney, fig 07, which, unfortunately, carries no date or reference.
The assumption, at the time of writing, is that it was included in the original 1907 publication, but this has not been
verified. It was included here to illustrate the clear division of Mulberry House to the southern annexe which has
out-shuts or extensions to the rear but two buildings to the front with a central yard and access from the west,
presumably across the stream.
9
The first informative and datable Ordnance Survey Map was published in 1881 fig 08a. The whole complex is
represented in a very detailed if somewhat formal geometric way. The annexe here is demarcated with a party wall
between it and the main house. It is even possible to make out the gable chimney breast of the main house. Along
the eastern elevation are various out-shuts most of which still exist. Along the west, elevation is an enclosed yard
and two detached buildings as noted in the photographs above: figs 04 & 05. The Cibi stream is still shown along
the west along with the access bridge to the yard. Towards the south, the current garden wall has been erected to the
east and there may be the beginnings of a trackway east/west.
By the 1902 map, fig 08b, the appearance of the building has changed somewhat; now represented by a blocked
depiction, although probably a result of scale and style rather than actual changes as the separation is back in the
later 1916 map, fig 08c. The error depicts the building and internal courtyard shaded, making it look like the
building’s western elevation extended fully to the roadside. This map also marks a clear instance of the road to the
south of the property being in existence.
In the 1920 map, fig 08c the annexe building footprint is much as it stands today, although, the party wall has been
removed indicating that it is now part of the main house. In the western yard, two detached outbuildings are still
shown as is the bridge access over the stream. The east/west trackway appears to have been formalised and,
interestingly, the southwest corner of the annexe juts out into the road which may indicate the present overhang.
The 1948 map; fig 08d, again suffers from the trade-off of detail with a change of scale, however, little has changed.
The loss of the yard to the west of the annexe has to be an error in drawing as it is not consistent with the mapping
before or more importantly after.
Current mapping, fig 08f. represents the current configuration of the site. The annexe building footprint has
remained unchanged, however, the detached building with a gable end to the road, first noted in 1881 fig 08a has
gone. The small building in the southwest corner is still in the same position, though it seems at a slightly larger
scale. The only other change to the annexe building is the return of the out-shut to the east after not being included
in fig 08e and the disappearance of the rear garden wall between the properties, although, in reality, it remains in
situ.
To the north of Mulberry House, a large building complex was added in 1956, and multiple buildings have sprung
up around the property.
Aims and Objectives
The level III survey aims to preserve by recording the structure of the buildings, before renovation and
refurbishment and in so doing provide a facility for understanding the building’s historic development.
The record produced can then be used to guide the determination of the planning condition as to the final design of
refurbishment.
Methodology
The building recording survey followed the methodology defined in 5.2, Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide
to Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2006). The methodology employed was also guided by the Standard
and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (CIFA
2014,).
Measurements were taken of the property, externally and internally, using a tripod-mounted, FARO M70 3D
Scanner. Photographs were taken using a tripod-mounted, digital camera: Cannon EOS 6D Mark II, these were
backed up with hi-resolution smartphone cameras where access was difficult. Images were recorded in both high-
resolution Jpeg & RAW formats. The photographic record of the site includes general views of the exterior, the
overall appearance of the principal structure and circulation areas, and external and internal detail relevant to the
property’s design and development. All photographs include a scale rod where possible or practical. Photographs
illustrative of the survey are produced as annotated ‘photo cards’ in the report. All photographs from the survey are
included as a list with contact sheets in Appendix I.

Data Presentation
Existing plans produced by “Sublime Spaces” (SS) were adapted for use in this report to guide the user through the
building survey report and phasing sections. These plans were also used to create fig 09 floor plans, to show an
overview of all the floor plans as they were at the time of the survey. The adapted plans have kept the room number
system found on the original plans, so each room corresponds to a number on the plans.
The survey took place on 23 September 2022, in favourable, though bright conditions.
External view
The current structure is presented as a three-storey building, orientated in an “L” shaped configuration, with a small
single-storey lean-to extension on the eastern elevation. The building is situated along the southern gable of the
central Mulberry House and is considered to be a southern annexe of the main building, PL01.
The annexed building also features an external outbuilding situated in the southwestern corner of the site boundary,
built of random coursed stone, with a slate roof. The north-eastern corner of the building has been built chamfered,
possibly for an earlier need to move traffic of sorts past the building, in the confined space. The eastern gable
features brick-lined access and a brick-lined upper aperture under the apex of the roof, currently blocked in, PL02.
The northern elevation features two brick-lined window apertures with timber lintels. The eastern window also
features a stone sill. The western gable, outside of the courtyard features a single centrally placed window with an
awning window. The western gable and southern elevation have been rendered and act as part of the perimeter
boundary wall, PL03.
The site features a stone courtyard at the west elevation and a garden area to the east. The site (where not joined to
another building) is bounded with a 2.5 to 3m perimeter wall, with an access gate to the west only, PL01.
Just outside of the annexed building, running alongside, (to the west) is a deep stone-lined trench with a stream
running through it, PL04. The trench, which is approximately 2m deep, is lined with a further meter-high stone wall
with crenulated tops. Purpose-built bridges, with arches to allow the ‘Cybi’ stream to run under, have been built to
allow access to both the main Mulberry House building and the southern annexe on which this survey is based.
The annexe building is covered with a roughcast render and topped with a shallow slate roof. The northern gable,
where the southern annexe joins the main house building features a chimney stack that is not shared by both builds.
The stack is partially rendered but topped with brick stacks, PL03/PL05.
The western elevation of the southern section of the building, PL06/PL07 has one large blocked-in window, two
smaller blocked-in windows, and large boarded-up access on the ground floor. The first floor is the external section
of the chapel, room 0.6. The chapel room features two stained glassed windows fitted with hopper windows and
timber frames with decorative trefoil arches. The second-floor features one timber framed sash window, and one
modified timber sash window that has been turned upside down and converted into a double casement.
The northern section of the annexe extends to the west, PL08. The southern elevation features two entrances to the
ground floor and a boarded-up window. Of the access portals, one is into a small external storage room, 1.7 and the
other a main entrance into the building through room 1.8. The ground floor appears to be built in a slight recess
fitted with rendered pillar supports. The first floor features a timber framed sash window with a stone lintel and a
thin single sash timber framed window with a stone sill and frosted glass. The second floor features a single timber
framed casement window and a small single sash timber framed window with frosted glass.
11
The western gable of the northern section of the annexe features a metal stairwell into the neighbouring Mulberry
House (blocked off). It also features a timber-framed awning window on the top (second) floor, PL09.
The southern gable of the annexe is something of an odd build, PL10/PL11. The wall, which is mostly rendered and
fairly nondescript on the ground and second floors, features a semi-circular projection on the 1st-floor room; 0.6, of
the chapel. This projection sticks out from the building overhanging the street below. There currently appear to be
some structural issues with it, as its currently supported externally and internally (from within room 1.12). (see
below), PL12.
The eastern elevation; PL13, is accessed by passing through the annexe building and entering the eastern garden
area. The ground floor features an opening into room 1.12 and a small lean too extension 1.13. As noted above: the
first-floor chapel; room 0.6, features two stained glass windows, with hoppers and timber frames with decorative
trefoil arches. The floor also features a timber-framed doorway that is accessed via a metal stair from the ground
floor. This access is currently the only way into the first floor and is something of a temporary solution. The door
itself features a central stained-glass window, sympathetic to the other windows on this floor. Also, the door lock
mechanism is now removed, PL14.
There is some question as to whether this doorway belongs where it is. Internally its position is at odds with the
symmetry of the internal windows, (see below) and a mark in the render above that appears to be more recent. It is
possible that there was once another window here.
As mentioned above, the eastern elevation also features a ground-level single-storey lean-to extension, PL15. The
building is brick built with a slate roof. The eastern elevation features a modified timber framed window, blocked
in, and a timber door into a small storage area room 1.14, that was not accessible.
Internal ground floor
Room 1.7 is a small storage room located in the western gable of the northern section of the building; PL16. The
room is brick built and whitewashed with a tiled floor. At the back of the room is a purpose-built timber frame
storage unit. The entrance/exit to the room is fitted with a timber plank and batten door, with strap hinges, metal
latch and a timber frame, PL17.
Room 1.8 acts as the main entrance into the current annexe building. The room is entered through a large boarded
accessway from the western courtyard. There is a blocked-in aperture in the northern wall, that appears to have once
held a door with a segmental arch, PL18. The southern wall has an entranceway and a boarded-up sash window,
PL19. The room is tiled almost from floor to ceiling with painted plaster making up the final stretch. The ceiling of
the room features a machine-cut timber roof with remaining tack nails. The north-western corner has a section of the
stairwell of the first floor poking through, showing its lathe and plaster construct, PL20. In the eastern wall is a
large, wide aperture that enters room 1.9. The aperture is topped with a cut segmental arch, from within room 1.9 the
archway has been exposed to bare brick. The brick arch appears to be situated between the stone walls on either side
of it, PL19/PL21
Room 1.9 is a large room with a fireplace projected into it from the northern wall neighbouring Mulberry House,
PL22. The fireplace, though now plastered over, features a large hearthstone. The presence of the hearthstone would
suggest the fireplace was at some point open to the room. Either side of the projected fireplace features a shallow
semi-circular recess cut into the plaster for purposes unknown, PL23/PL24. Above the fireplace, sections of the
plaster have been removed exposing the brick structure below, PL25. The eastern wall features a large, wide, and
deep opening aperture into the lean-to extension room 1.13; PL26. This aperture is also topped with an exposed
brick segmental arch; PL27. The western wall features both the entrance from room 1.8 (above) and a large timber-
framed double casement window with one awning-topped window, PL21. This window also appears to be fitted
within a segmental arch but due to the lowered plaster work, remains inaccessible. The southern wall holds a simple
doorway into room 1.10/1.11. The ceiling structure of the room has been given structural support with a central RSJ
beam spanning the room from east to west, PL28/PL29.
Room 1.10/1.11 may once have been two rooms; however, they now feature as one. Wall scarring shows where the
partition walls once were situated. The western wall features two boarded-up timber-framed awning windows with
frosted glass, PL30. The eastern one features one, PL31 The room ceiling is also fitted with an RSJ for structural
support.
12
Room 1.13; PL32, is the small single-storey extension on the east of the annexe building. It features a single timber
framed window that’s been modified, and small timber framed hatch in the roof, also an exit into the eastern side of
the property via a large ‘ledge and braced’ timber batten door, with strap hinges, (possibly repurposed from
elsewhere in the property), PL33.
Room 1.12 is a self-contained room that can only be accessed via the western courtyard or the eastern garden.
Sections of the room’s plaster have been removed along its southern wall exposing the random coursed stone
construct of the walls, PL34. The stone walls appear to have been structurally shored up over time with the presence
of coursed cemented brick bracers. This room sits directly below the chapel; room 0.6, with the southern wall
directly underneath the projected semi-circular chapel wall. As discussed above, this projection has been fitted with
some support posts both externally and internally; PL35 and is probably the reason for the repaired coursing in the
southern wall as well. The ceiling is also fitted with multiple RSJs; PL36. A section of the plaster has also been
removed from the eastern wall; PL37, this has exposed not only the stone wall below but the timber lintel topping
the doorway as well. The wall scar and lintel placement would suggest the doorway aperture was once double the
width, with a portion of it being filled in at a later date, PL38. The doorway on the opposite side, though not as
exposed, also suggests the same setup, with the line in the plaster suggesting a wider earlier entrance/exit, PL39.
Internal first floor
As mentioned above, access to the first floor is via a metal stairwell into chapel room 0.6. The chapel itself extends
the full length of the building and consists of much of the first floor. As also mentioned above, the south of the room
features a semi-circular projected wall that extends over the external pavement, PL40. The chapel features four
large stained-glass windows with hopper windows and decorative trefoil arches, PL40/PL41/PL42. The extended
projection also features two thinner stained glassed windows with trefoil-topped arches, PL40/PL43. The floor in
this section of the room has been raised, to provide a staging area, PL40. The room features high vaulted ceilings
with modern fixtures and fittings, and a parquet floor with a herringbone pattern, PL44. The north of the wall
features the projected chimney stack from the room, PL45.
Room 0.7 is a landing that leads from 0.6 into rooms 0.8 and 0.9. The landing also ends in the west with a timber set
of stairs and a door that used to lead externally to the north, now blocked off. The entrance is fitted with a decorative
timber plank and a batten door with a pseudo-four-pointed arch. Some of the battens have also been decorated with
chamfered cut stops and the door is also topped with a large fan light, PL46. There is also a further aperture to the
north much has been blocked in, PL47.
Room 0.8 is a single room with a timber sash window and high vaulted ceilings, PL48. Room 0.9 is a smaller toilet
room with a single sash window with frosted glass, PL49.
The only access to the second floor at this time was a ladder through a small tight hole in the roof of room 0.6 into
room 1.17, PL50.
Second floor
Room 1.17 is a small room with a modified timber frame sash window. The window has been turned over and fitted
with a double casement. The room also features the projection of the chimney stack found on both floors below,
PL51.
Room 1.13 is a small landing connecting the rooms.
Room 1.16 is a continuation of 1.13 and continues the connection of rooms. The western wall features a sash
window, PL52.
Rooms 1.18; PL53, 1.19, PL54 are something of identical rooms, both featuring a single modified sash/casement
window and doorways with a painted-over transom window.
Room 1.20 is a large room at the southern extent of the building. The room features modified sash/casement
windows in the east, PL55 and west walls, PL56.
Room 1.15 is a small toilet area with a thin single-sash window with frosted glass, PL57.
13
Room 1.14 is the end room in the western extent of the building. It features a single casement window in the
southern wall and a modified closed/sash window topped with an awning opening to the west, PL58. The timber
floorboards within the room were somewhat unsafe with holes in the room below.
The ceiling structure of the second floor wasn’t open to interpretation, having been lowered with plaster. The
ceilings do however all curve/drop at their edges following the course of the roof, PL59.
Interpretation and phasing
The research undertaken for this building recording survey, both documentary and cartographic, has established that
the main house at least has been present since the late 18th century, fig 10. Furthermore, the curtilage of the property
and the yard to the south had an association with ‘water rights, for the passage of water running through their
curtilages. This can be inferred from the continuous cartographic representation of the stream along the western side
of the property with two bridging structures giving access to both the house and yard.
It is probably worth noting the Tithe apportionment for plot 387 ‘tithe of mill’ and the translation of Pen y pound
(Head Pond). To these considerations could be added the dormer in fig 05, possibly an upper hoist aperture for
storage of goods in an upper half storey. One further point of interest can be seen in fig 11, which is an image taken
from the 3D scan. It shows the southern wall of the southwest detached building with the low crenellated wall for
the Ciby stream to the left. However, 1.5m along the southern elevation is a segmental arch of weathered stonework
at the current pavement height. Unfortunately, the building was locked at the time of the survey so there is no
explanation for a 1.5m covered culvert here, parallel to the stream. The agent later supplied internal photographs,
but the inside had been modernised and had a lot of fixed furnishings.
It is suggested, therefore, that the ground floor is very early 19th century but with a potential for it to have been
added to the main house at the end of the 18th century. The evidence for the addition is centred on the chimney stack
which would appear to have originally been a gable-end construction, however, it was not possible to check within
Mulberry House. A section through the building from the 3D scan does however show that the blocked-up fireplace
structure in room 1.9 PL22 has been brought forward from the stack. Above the blocked-in fireplace, some of the
plaster has been removed exposing the handmade, thin bricked structure to its top, PL25. Also found in room 1.9
are two entrances that are wide set, and deep, owing to the thickness of the wall. These are topped, as is the main
window to the room, with brick-built segmental arches, built within the (exposed) stone structure of the wall,
PL21/PL26/PL27.
More physical evidence of an early build can be seen in the building fabric of uncoursed stone, which is mainly in
evidence in rooms 1.2, PL34, PL35, PL37, PL38. It was not possible to establish the construction of the other
rooms as they are mostly plastered and painted.
The first and second floors are both 20th-century additions and not part of the building’s original footprint, this
information is clearly seen by using both the pictures, fig 04 and fig 05, that shows the building as a single to one-
and-a-half storey structure.
