SNN111249 - Historic Building Recording at Canons Ashby House, Northamptonshire, October-December 2017

A comprehensive programme of historic building recording was undertaken at Canons Ashby House. This work sought not only to provide a detailed record of the house but also to examine the sequences of development of alteration which were undertaken in the nearly five hundred year period since its construction. Recording comprised a complete photographic survey of the external elevations and all accessible rooms and roof spaces, and a drawn record which included doors and windows, timber-framing, roof trusses, and sections, elevations and plans. A laser survey was also carried out which allowed the house to be ampped to a high level of detail, and an aerial drone survey provided high level photogrpahs from which a full photogrammatic model of the the house exterior was produced.
