Images from Historic Building Recording Work at Spaynes Hall, Cherry Lane, Great Yeldham, Essex, June 2021

This collection comprises images from historic building recording work of a barn and a coach house at Spaynes Hall, Cherry Lane, Great Yeldham, Essex. This work was undertaken by Colchester Archaeological Trust in June 2021. Two buildings were recorded on the site, a timber-framed threshing barn and a timber and brick coach house. The Spaynes Hall estate has origins in the 16th century, but expanded in to a large farmstead in the late 18th-early 19th century. Cartographic evidence shows that both the threshing barn and the coach house were constructed somewhere between 1777 and 1842. A considerable amount of re-used timbers were observed, particularly in the threshing barn, which could have originated from earlier buildings on the site. Several carpenter's marks and Baltic timber marks were also present in both buildings
