Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based heritage assessmenthas taken place at The Shrubbery Care Home, 66 College Street, Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire. The site lies on the eastern side of College Street at the northern end of Higham Ferrers. There are three Scheduled Monuments, two Grade I, one Grade II* and eight Grade II Listed Buildings within the 250m Historic Environment Record (HER) search radius of the site. No prehistoric remains are known from the immediate area around the site and Roman remains are represented by two coins and a small amount of pottery that have been found nearby. The town saw the construction of Higham Ferrers Castle, Chichele College and Saffron Moat during the medieval period and after the castle was abandoned, a series of developments took place, infilling the spaces between these monuments and College Street. The site lies within an area of late medieval and post-medieval tenements on the west side of the castle. Cartographic evidence suggests that at least four buildings have been sequentially constructed on the western part of the site from the end of the 16th century until the present |
