Abstract:		 Capstone Consulting Engineers Ltd has been appointed as the lead advisor by Low Melwood Farm (AS Thornton and Son) as part of an Historic England grant aided project in connection with the Axholme Priory site at Low Melwood Farm. The site (centred on NGR SE 80603 01947) comprises an agricultural building that retains fabric from both the monastic period and from its subsequent use as a house. This building is designated as a Grade II listed building (List Entry No 1373834), and also forms part of the Axholme Carthusian Priory and Post-Dissolution Garden Earthworks Scheduled Monument (List Entry No 1017487). In order to inform the urgent repair works, Historic England requested that an historic building investigation of the former Priory House, coupled with the excavation of four small trial pits, was undertaken. This work was undertaken by Salford Archaeology in November 2018. The archaeological building survey and test pits revealed that the extant monument retains large amounts of information pertaining to the development of the building over a period of possibly in excess of 600 years. When read in conjunction with a relatively good documentary resource of historic descriptions of the complex, and the excellent results of an earlier geophysical survey, the fabric of the structure suggests that the building may have original served as a chapel abutting the northern range of the Great Cloister, representing a building of some significance within the monastic complex.
