Summary. A programme of historic building recording of a coach house and garage was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust at Mauds Court, Long Lane, Tendring, Essex in October 2024. When constructed, the coach house was associated with Tendring Hall (NHLE No. 1169332), a 17th-century Grade II listed structure, along with a number of other agricultural buildings. The carpentry techniques used in the coach house, which include hand-sawn timbers and staggered butt-purlins, suggest it was raised in the 17th or 18th century. The structure incorporates both red brick, laid in Monk bond, as well as timber-framing. In the 19th century, Hall Farm was established, and Tendring Hall’s associated buildings underwent remodelling to create a model farm. The coach house, however, was not included in this modernisation. The adjacent garage is early 20th century in date.
