Abstract: |
The results of a historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land adjacent to Filleigh Village Hall, Filleigh, Devon, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed development would take place within the grounds of the largely 18th century Castle Hill Estate, and within its Grade I Listed Registered Park and Garden. The park contains a number of designated and undesignated garden structures, with the Grade II* Listed Palladian mansion at its centre. The site itself is situated on the boundary of the estate village of Filleigh. The site lies away from the main visual axis of the estate, and out of the key designed views of the primary phases of design. An 18th century temple was formerly located opposite Paynes Cottages and this general area, may have once been visible behind this eye-catcher from the key viewing points of the house and estate, however the tree-lined road and avenues which still screen views to the site itself may have always limited these. There was a further 18th century folly 'The Roundhouse' and well located to the south of the proposal site, which had views out and towards it from the north-east (The house and terrace), but this historic view is now largely screened by later plantations. Both temples were demolished in the early to mid 19th century. |
