Monument record MDO18810 - Timber-framed building, 16 Cornhill, Dorchester

A substantially-altered timber-framed building concealed by an early nineteenth-century brick front, was observed in the course of demolition, but not recorded.

'The demoliton and rebuilding of Manfield's shoe-shop, 16 Cornhill (SY 69259070), revealed that the early 19th century brick front concealed a substantially altered timber-framed building, the existence of which was not realised in time for it to be recorded. At the rear of the site at least five wells filled with post-medieval material were noticed. No earlier features or finds were found.' (1)
