Abstract:		 An historic environment desk based assessment was carried out during November and December 2016 at Cherry Trees, Swans Nest Lane, Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, to support an application for demolition of the existing building and erection of seven apartments on the same footprint. The assessment showed that the study site lies on the southern edge of Bridgetown, a suburb of Stratford centred around the junction of four roads at a ford across the River Avon. At present the earliest evidence is of a medieval chapel and hermitage which was established to the north of the study site on the site of the present Swans Nest Hotel. During the 17th century the study site would probably have been open fields marking the southern edge of the Bridgetown area between the flood plain to the west and the Shipston Road to the east. Bridgetown expanded significantly during the industrial revolution following the construction of the canal and tramway between 1816 and 1826 leading to the creation of Swans Nest Lane connecting the Clopton Road bridgehead with the tramway and the range of industrial buildings established along the Bridgetown river frontage. The land to the south of the hotel between the Shipston Road and the tramway was subsequently divided into plots for residential development from the mid-19th century. The study site continued to remain as open ground until 1886 when it had become orchard. The assessment concluded that there is unlikely to be significant archaeological deposits situated within the study site which appears to have been unsettled open ground until construction of the existing house in the late 20th century. The proposed development is therefore unlikely to have any impact and no further work was recommended.
