Investigation Type Min Date Max Date Investigation Method Description Listing 2007 2007 N/A Large prefabricated colonial style bungalow, probably built around 1903, and constructed from a prefabricated timber-frame clad in corrugated iron sheets. EXTERIOR: It is of a single storey with attic and has a corrugated iron roof with gables ends. The south garden front has a gabled wing to the left of centre, and a window and verandah to left and two windows to the right with French casement between. The verandah has wooden posts and Tudor arches with pierced spindrels. On the east end is a squat tower with a timber verandah and balcony above supporting the deep eaves of the glazing bars in top lights. There is also a later conservatory in the southeast angle. At the rear is a later outshut and a small lavatory wing is attached to the northwest rear corner. INTERIOR: The walls and ceilings are lined in match boarding and cast-iron chimneypieces and original joinery, including pannelled doors and staircase with turned newels, survive. HISTORY: Norton Bavant appears for the first time on the 1:2500 third edition OS map of 1910 and appears essentially in its current form. The land where the building is situated was bought by one Elizabeth Grace in 1899, who also owned other plots of land in Beech. She was subsequently granted permission by Alton Urban District Council to build domestic dwellings on her land in both 1902 and 1904. It is likely that one of these permissions related to the building of Norton Bavant. The land, and bunglaow, were sold to a Mrs Eliot in 1907, and is regeistered under its current name for the first time on 1908. Bertha Marion Alexander and Constance Marjorie Alexander, granddaughters of Michael Solomon Alexander, Bishop of Jerusalem 1841-1845, were recorded as resident at the propertty of the Electoral Register of 1922 and stayed here until 1934. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: Norton Bavant is of special interst as an early-C20 pre-fabricated corrugated iron-clad domestic dwelling with attractive detailing, such as the verandahs and tower. Ornate pre-fabricated bungalows were erected around the start of the C20 and this example survives well and is a relatively rare survival of the type.

All rights reserved Page 5 of 6 Investigation Type Min Date Max Date Investigation Method Description Listing 2006 2006 N/A Milestone of early C19 date. It is a square Portland stone pillar with a domed top and it has two cast iron plaques affixed to its sides. The inscription on the north west facing plaque reads 'Alton 1' and that on the south west reads 'B'stoke 10'. HISTORY: This milestone marks the turnpike road between Alton and Basingstoke, which was given its first turnpiking authorisation by an Act of Parliament in 1795, and which was renewed in 1816. This also required the erection of milestones along its route, and this stone was probably erected soon after the Act was passed. The first edition OS map suggests that it is still in its original location. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: Milestones are of special interest as they among the few physical remains of national and local historic road use. The turnpike roads created in C18 and C19 were an important development in British road transport, and the milestones and other road furnishings accompanying them are important reminders of that. This milestone survives well and marks the turnpike road between Alton and Basingstoke. It forms a group with another surviving milestone (seperately listed) and together they form a significant survival of the stones that would originally have marked each mile between the two towns.
