Abstract: |
Harlington Manor was built in the early 16th century and was extended and modified throughout the 17th to 20th centuries. The outbuilding that was demolished in the development was first shown on the Harlington enclosure map of 1810. The uppermost deposits found within the footprint of the outbuilding consisted of modern internal floor layers above a mixed garden soil containing some building debris. A brick hearth found towards the eastern end of the building was contemporary with the use of the outbuilding and was probably used to heat an adjacent greenhouse which is shown on the 1882 and 1901 Ordnance Survey maps. Two features were found which predated the brick outbuilding. These were an ironstone rubble wall foundation and an adjacent shallow ditch. These features were on the same alignment as the short axis of the outbuilding but extended beyond its front wall, indicating that they are part of an earlier arrangement. Bottle glass recovered from the fill of the ditch includes one example which can be dated to c.1790-1820. It appears that the ditch was filled in and the outbuilding was erected shortly afterwards at the beginning of the 19th century. |
