SNN110733 - An Archaeological Standing Building Survey of Shuckburgh House & Outbuildings, Church Street, Naseby, Northamptonshire, December 2016

This document is an archaeological standing building survey of Shuckburgh House & Outbuildings, Church Street, Naseby, Northamptonshire (SP 68812 78140), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) in advance of the proposed conservation and renovation of the buildings for residential and domestic use. There is cartographic evidence of a building on the site from the 17th century and it is said to have played an early role in the pivotal Battle of Naseby. The cottage range is likely to be the earliest surviving element of the house, but itself shows evidence of at least three phases of building, or re-building which hints at a complex history. The bay abutting the southern gable of the cottage range is a largely modern build, but containing very limited remains of an earlier building. The stable, although simple in appearance is an interesting building with late 18th century origins and was re-built as a somewhat aggrandised stable in the 19th century. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2015-SHNN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged
