Abstract: |
In April 2012 part of the ha-ha wall at Charlecote Park, Warwickshire, collapsed, revealing the remains of the original 18th-century wall behind the collapsed later brickwork. In March 2013 a 21m stretch of the partially collapsed later ha-ha wall was dismantled by building contractors so that it could be rebuilt, and the earlier brickwork was recorded during an archaeological watching brief. The crude nature of the construction of the original 18th-century wall suggested this earlier brickwork may not have been visible at the time. It is likely that it was covered by a contemporary brick skin which was subsequently replaced by the later ha-ha wall, which appeared to be of 19th- or 20th-century date. The difference in the form of construction, together with the variation in brick coursing, also suggested that the 18th-century ha-ha wall had been the subject of successive episodes of repair, presumably resulting from previous collapses. |
