Modifications and Maintenance

The Architectural Study page in the House section of the site provided an overview of the vernacular architectural features of Monks Chambers. This section looks at how these features might have changed over time.

We know from old records that Monks Chambers was, at some time in its past, divided into four separate cottages. We also know that it then became two cottages before finally becoming a single house sometime in the 1900s. We also know that many of the existing doorways are not in their original locations and that there used to be another chimney and possibly two sets of stairs in different places. This page aims to show evidence of the changes that appear to have been made.
