Photographic Survey
Date 31 August 1999 - 21 October 1999
Event ID 553740
Category Recording
Type Photographic Survey
Permalink http://canmore.org.uk/event/553740
This A-listed structure, which is also Scheduled and in Guardianship, was recorded as part of the Listed Buildings Recording Programme for 1999-2000. The survey was proposed because of the visible deterioration in the carvings around the doorway and the primary emphasis of the survey was to provide detailed records of these. Accordingly, detailed photographs of the carvings were taken in varied lighting conditions and a measured survey was also undertaken.
