Abstract: |
A heritage audit of Abbey Gate, Evesham, was commissioned by the owners, Cox Homes, in advance of the preparation of plans to redevelop the building and its site. The survey was non-intrusive, involving visual inspection, documentary and map based research. The house was constructed in the early 18th century from the remains of an abbey gatehouse of probable early 14th century date. Some alterations can be attributed to the late 18th century although considerable modernisation occurred in the early 19th century when it was divided into two dwellings. Further additions and alterations occurred in the early 20th century whilst significant changes to the fabric and décor can be associated with the building's conversion to offices in the late 20th century. Groundworks in the environs of the building would have the potential to encounter significant archaeological deposits associated with the abbey's conventual buildings and other post-Dissolution structures. Significant Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon deposits may also exist in the area. Any future alterations within the building are likely to reveal historic features associated with the development of the structure over the past 600 years. |
