Abstract: |
An evaluation of an historic building and adjacent land at Church House, Rectory Lane was undertaken on behalf of Stephen Taylor of Stainburn and Taylor Architects on behalf of the Worcestershire Historic Buildings Preservation Trust Limited at Areley Kings, Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8020 7090; SMR ref 32761). The building recording showed that Church House was built in 1536. It was constructed specifically for the purpose of holding 'church ales', feast day celebrations, after they were removed from the church. It has been little changed over the years and was used for brewing ale up to the early 18th century. The original structure survives very well within the fabric of the building. Two 19th century structures that were added to Church House were necessary as its function changed to a school, then a stable and finally a hall. The evaluation trench revealed deposits that did not date earlier than the post-medieval period. |
