The Sandford Inventory of Earth Buildings as a Conservation Aid
The Sandford Inventory of Earth Buildings is an effective tool for characterizing and identifying earthen buildings in Sandford (Devon) and demonstrates the advantages of using a Geographical Information System (GIS) to integrate and analyse the differing data. A case study on a listed building reveals the problem of identifying cob buildings that have altered façades. The findings from the case studies on two non-listed buildings demonstrate the predictive ability of the inventory methodology to identify previously unidentified cob buildings using the triangular concept of combining documentary architectural and historic information with topographical factors to discover their location. The ability of the methodology employed by the Sandford Inventory to display cartographic, graphic, and photographic material could be used to enhance the list descriptions of cob buildings.
