Priory House (Council Offices), High Street south, Dunstable - Central Bedfordshire (UA)

C18 house on site of Priory guesthouse with C13 medieval undercroft and some pre-Georgian cellars. The undercroft, built in clunch, is subject to complex structural movement and dampness issues. Dunstable Town Council accepted an Historic England Heritage at Risk grant in 2016 for a detailed study to examine condition and find solutions. Awaiting final report from environmental specialist and outcome of other grant processes. Excess surface water a significant agent of decay undermining the clunch foundations and front wall, causing further instability. Active and on-going project.
