ENN105616 - Talbot Hotel, 2011 (Historic Building Recording)

{1} Historic building survey at the Talbot Hotel, undertaken in advance of a number of minor internal and external alterations to the Grade I listed former medieval coaching inn. A photographic, descriptive and drawn record was created equivalent to an English Heritage Level 3 survey on the elements of the hotel due to be altered, all of which date to the mid 20th century. The survey has served to record the alterations made to the historic building fabric during the 20th century including bricked-up doorways and insertion of partitions. A second phase of work was undertaken in November 2011 as an archaeological watching brief was required following the demolition of a single storey restaurant in the courtyard area and during ground reduction in the garden area at the rear of the hotel.
