Standing Building Recording (15 April 2002 - 17 April 2002)
SURVEY
The historic building survey was undertaken using a combination of digitally-rectified photography and a Total Station EDM, equipped with a data-logging facility. The topographical survey plan was converted into National Grid co-ordinates via a series of local reference points; no local Ordnance Survey bench-mark, however, could be identified and all levels are therefore expressed with reference to an arbitrary relative
local datum. The survey was undertaken 15 – 17 April 2002.
The principal objectives of the survey were to provide a base-line
documentary and survey record of St Barr’s church (Building No.3) and the South Chapel (Building No.4), preparatory to the formulation of a wider ranging management plan for the site and to inform the conservation process.
