Historic Building Recording Report: Narborough Arms, Narborough, Leicestershire

The works were carried out in accordance with the standards and guidance set out for a Level 2-3 survey in the Historic England document: 'Understanding Historic Buildings, A Guide to Good Recording Practice' (Historic England 2016). The site was visited on 28th February 2024. Photographs were taken with a Nikon D3200 DSLR Camera with 24.2MP. All photographs taken during the survey will be archived as TIFF files. Photos were taken of the following: General views of the floor surfaces and their context to show the form, general appearance and if appropriate, manner of construction Detail photographs of any decorative/architectural features, fixtures and fittings The relationship of the relevant floor surfaces to their surroundings Metric scales of appropriate length were used when required and possible, with all photos annotated and linked to a floor plan, showing location and orientation by shot number and described. In addition to the photographic record, a full written description is included within the report. The survey revealed that no historic floorboards were present within the 17th century structure. These may have been removed and replaced by modern screeding and chipboard in the late 1970s when the structure underwent refurbishment and when much of the timberwork was renewed. As such, the surviving floor surfaces in the 17th century part of the building are of no historic interest.
