Abstract: |
2007 - 2008. Oxford Archaeology was commissioned to record the standing historic structures, including the walls of the Kitchen and Parterre Gardens, the Dovecote, the Alcove Seat, the Grotto, the Cottage, the Granary and Jacobs Well. In addition a watching brief was also maintained during various elements of the regeneration work that caused ground disturbance in the historic gardens. The work has shown (or suggested) that the upper level of the Dovecote was probably only added in the 1860s, as a conversion of an existing garden building, and that the uppermost level of some of the walls in the walled gardens were secondary additions, albeit probably very early raising of the incompleted initial construction. The work has also revealed possible evidence of a heated wall in the Kitchen Garden and confirmed that the south-west wall of the 19th century cottage incorporated the earlier, 18th-century wall from the Kitchen Garden. The below-ground watching brief has identified a number of features from the park including culverts, walls from probable former paddock buildings and evidence of a possible blacksmiths. |
