Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during renovation and extension groundworks at the Coach House. The work was not able to establish the date of the earliest structures on the site but the garden wall (106) seems very likely to have been constructed by Sir Baptist Hicks no later than the early 17th century, and possibly at the same time as the main house in c.1600. Several phases of building were constructed against this wall including one depicted on a plan of c.1745 which purports to show the property prior to 1645 when it was burnt down. The burning event was not directly evidenced during the work but was indirectly apparent in the form of wall scars and the reuse of considerable amounts of burnt dressed stone in the foundations of later phases. A layer containing a significant assemblage of medieval pottery was found which points to occupation on the site from at least the 12th century, though not sufficient to indicate the location of a medieval manor. A fragment of Roman tile and a sherd of greyware pottery recovered during the work point to an otherwise unknown Roman site in the locale. |
