A major programme of building recording and analysis was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology in 1993–94 during the conversion of Coombe Abbey, Warwickshire. This charted the conversion of the dissolved Cistercian abbey into a house and successive alterations over four centuries until its partial demolition after 1923. Among its most striking features are two ambitious phases of late 17th-century building, the first by Sir Isaac Gibson, the second by William Winde with ceilings by the leading London plasterer Edward Gouge. Works of 1863–64 by William Eden Nesfield reflect an antiquarian reinterpretation of the site's medieval past
