Abstract: |
Four main phases of development, spanning approximately 100 years, were identified during the survey beginning with the construction of the earliest buildings in 1868, as part of the Easton Neston Estate farm improvements. There followed subsequent alterations to reflect changes in agricultural practices, through to the construction of two large storage units in the mid 20th century which mark the introduction of large mechanical farm machinery. Showsley Grounds is located on the known site of Sewardsley Priory, a known Cisrtercian Nunnery. This site has previously been investigated through archaeological evaluation by Channel 4's Time Team, where burial grounds and extensive remains of the nunnery were found surrounding the farmhouse to the south-east. Elements of the current farmhouse (not part of the development area) are also thought to have been constructed using stonework from the original nunnery. |
