BARRISTERS’ ROBING ROOM SHIRE HALL, LANCASTER CASTLE Fabric Survey

In May 2000 a fabric survey was undertaken by Lancaster University Archaeological Unit (LUAU) of the eastern wall of the Barristers’ Robing room in the Shire Hall of Lancaster Castle (SD 4730 6186) (Fig 1); the survey was commissioned by Lancashire County Council. The survey followed on from the removal of plaster from the wall, as a
maintenance requirement, which had exposed important structural detail within the elevation; a mitigative record of the elevation was therefore required before it was
replastered. The recording could not happen while the courts were in session and it was therefore agreed to delay it until the Easter vacation 2001 when access to the room
became available.
