ETON: A listed building in the village in ‘poor’ condition has been added to an ‘at-risk’ register compiled by Historic England.
The structure, known as The Cock Pitt and located at 47-49 High Street, is one of the latest additions to the Heritage at Risk Register 2021.
The annual report, which was published on Thursday, November 4, is a 'health-check' of the most historic places in England.
Buildings on the list are at risk of being ‘lost forever’ due to decay or neglect.
Grade-II listed The Cock Pitt is vacant and is said to be in ‘poor’ condition by
Historic England, which added that the timber-framed building had undergone some renovation works.
Works commenced to turn the building into residential – with commercial units on the ground floor – but the developer suffered financial difficulties.
This led to work being halted, leaving the building ‘partially stripped’ and in ‘deteriorating condition’.
A document known as an ‘Urgent Works Notice’ to secure the building was served last year, which was complied with by the owner, and the property is now for sale.
