Abstract: |
Archenfield Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation in advance of an agricultural building development at Wharton Court Farm, Leominster, Herefordshire. The area of the development was in a field immediately to the north of Wharton Court, an early 17th century Grade II* listed building. Wharton was a Domesday Manor which appears to have originally belonged to the Anglo-Saxon Abbey at Leominster prior to its dissolution in 1046. It was returned to the church in 1123 and remained a property of the re-founded Priory at Leominster until Henry VIII''s dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. Neither archaeological structures nor artefacts were found during the excavation and cartographic evidence suggests the probability that the area was part of the open strip fields of Wharton until the early 19th century. |
