Building

A detailed description of the building appears in the relevant entry on the English Heritage website and appears to be based on an external inspection of the structure in 1985 or earlier. [1] The entry states that the building is probably mid-18th century. It is constructed of rendered cob with a thatch roof.

Cob (material) Building material made from subsoil, water, and fibrous organic material

Cob, cobb or clom is a natural building material made from subsoil, water, fibrous organic material, and sometimes lime. The contents of subsoil naturally vary, and if it does not contain the right mixture it can be modified with sand or clay. Cob is fireproof, resistant to seismic activity, and although it uses low cost materials, it is very labour intensive. It can be used to create artistic, sculptural forms, and its use has been revived in recent years by the natural building and sustainability movements.

History

The building stands in the same position as a dwelling shown on an estate plan of 1630 as being that of Thomas Chester. The plan is held by Suffolk Record Office as part of the Fitzgerald papers. [2]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
