Abstract: |
Archaeological recording was carried out during May 2014 at Avondale House, Kennel Bank, Cropthorne, Worcestershire during groundworks within the existing garden associated with the erection of a detached dwelling and garage. Although limited in scope, the excavation revealed no evidence to indicate settlement before the post-medieval period. Instead it confirmed the cartographic evidence (OS 1886) which showed the development area to contain earlier structures. The remains of one of these structures survived within the former vegetable garden and was represented by the remains of the foundation wall indicating the outline of a former cottage with a fireplace and oven at the south-east end and internal features suggesting a two-bay building. A late C19 photograph survives showing the front of the timber-framed cottage with Caroline Tarplee, born in 1828 and living until she was 97, and her niece Lizzie Meakins. Enough of the frame is shown to allow comparison with other buildings in the village to suggest a possible C17 construction date. |
