Abstract: |
In February 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out historic building recording at St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School, Glenure Road, Eltham (NGR TQ 4350 7475; Figs. 1 and 2). The work was conducted in order to satisfy a planning condition specifically relating to the area of the building to be affected by the erection of a two-storey extension. The local area has some potential for Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains, but a watching brief investigation undertaken in November 2011 revealed only foundations of the existing building and another foundation wall (post medieval) just beyond the building (Pozorski, 2011). A house has stood on the site since at least the mid-18th century, and was one of a number of small country estates which existed in Eltham. This estate was broken up for suburban development at the turn of the 20th century, at which time the mansion was sold as a school. It has since had a long and convoluted history as an educational establishment run by Roman Catholic sisters and the Diocese of Southwark. The investigation suggests that the Georgian mansion survives at the core of the building, though almost nothing remains visible, either in layout or decoration, after progressive remodelling. Only the basement and the western entrance, with its portico of cast-iron columns indicates the earlier form. The most recent alterations have little or no appreciable impact on any surviving historic integrity, and little further information could be elucidated from the works. |
