How to use this volume

This volume lists an inventory of the archaeological and historical sites, from SMR number 122401 to 122655 inclusive, to be found on the Wey Navigations estate. These listings are given according to the formula designated by the Cirencester Office Sites and Monuments database. There are two parts to this inventory, listed as Volumes 2 and 3 of the overall report on the history and archaeology of the Wey and Godalming Navigations. Pages 5-25 inclusive of this volume give a summary listing of the site numbers given above. Pages 26-168 inclusive give more detailed information on each of these sites, including a more detailed site description, a summary of management recommendations, and a summary list of archival sources relating to each site. Volume 3 contains the second part of the inventory, listing the site numbers from 122656 onwards in the same way as laid out here.

This report is different from many other property inventories in that the author was required to list all sites present within the visual envelope, as well as those with historical connections with the Navigations, visible or otherwise, alongside those on NT property. The visual envelope was defined as that visible at eye level from the towpath of the Navigations. Sites owned by the National Trust are specifically indicated. Selected sites are illustrated by colour plates, numbered 1-40.

If further information is required on any site, this is available on the computerised database. It is necessary to enter the site number into the computer database programme to obtained this information as it is too detailed to list here. This is broken down into four sub-headings, management, description, monitoring and sources. The latter category includes all known photographs of any particular site. The database is currently sited at the National Trust Cirencester Office, 33 Sheep Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1QW. Readers may need to refer to this office for detailed print-outs of the detailed information. The term used for this print-out is a 'compressed' report.

In time it is hoped that all properties will be allocated their own versions of their respective databases. Property staff will then be able to access the detailed reports on each site directly, and obtain print-outs. At the time of writing, this more detailed information was only available through the Cirencester Office.

Users should note that general management recommendations for all vernacular buildings and locks owned by the National Trust are given at the beginning of this report (pages 3-4). To avoid repetition they are not repeated for each individual feature.

Management recommendations for historic buildings owned by the National Trust on the Navigations

It is considered that to list all the management recommendations required for the historic buildings in NT care on this property would result in considerable repetition. This would make this report, already larger than for most other properties, unnecessarily unwieldy. It has therefore been decided to list the more general recommendations favoured for four categories of historic buildings. The reader will find these given in the management recommendations in Volume 1, Section 9.0. For convenience, they are repeated here.

1.0 For all buildings pre-dating 1945

1. Repairs should be undertaken with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should not be used.
2. PVC and similar plastic window frames and doors are not suitable for Trust vernacular buildings. If present, these should be replaced at the most convenient opportunity.
3. Re-roofing should take account of any original insulation used within the building. This should not be removed without prior consultation with the archaeological advisers at Cirencester. e.g. there have been a number of instances in the past where straw insulation in roofs has been removed without recording.
4. Repointing of masonry should be done with lime-based mortar. Generally, cement-based mortars should be avoided on historic buildings.

2.0 Specific requirements for each category of building pre-dating 1945

Category A: all buildings pre-dating 1800

1. General recommendations given above should be applied to all buildings in this category, with the following as specific requirements for this class of building.
2. A full analytical survey record of this building is required as it is a complex structure exhibiting evidence of development over a long period. Any modifications or repairs affecting the structure should be preceded by an archaeological/analytical survey. This should include a plan, and where appropriate sections and elevations at a scale of at least 1:50, supported by written descriptions and photographs. Photographs should be taken in both colour and monochrome or slide; the latter for long-term archival purposes.
3. Subsequent opportunities arising to record historic fabric during repair work should be taken to supplement this record. Details of any new repair work should be recorded and added to this entry in the Sites and Monuments Record.
4. Historical fabric should not be removed from this building or its environs without providing an opportunity for recording by an archaeologist.
5. Excavation in the vicinity of this building, both internally and externally, should be monitored by an archaeologist.

Category B: all buildings of more than one structural build post-dating 1800

1. General recommendations given in section 1.0 should be applied to all buildings in this category, with the following as specific requirements for this class of building.
2. Any modifications or repairs affecting the structure should be preceded by an archaeological/analytical survey. This should include a basic plan, and where appropriate sections and elevations, at a scale of at least 1:50, supported by written descriptions and photographs. Photographs should be taken in both colour and monochrome or slide; the latter for long-term archival purposes.
3. Subsequent opportunities arising to record historic fabric during repair work should be taken to supplement this record. Details of any new repair work should be recorded and added to this entry in the Sites and Monuments Record.
4. Historical fabric should not be removed from this building or its environs without consulting the archaeological advisers at Cirencester.
5. Should below ground excavation be undertaken in the vicinity of this building, advice should be sought from the archaeological advisers at Cirencester.

Category C: all single-build post-1800 buildings

1. General recommendations given in section 1.0 should be applied to all buildings in this category.
2. For specific recommendations, those given in the above category (Category B) of buildings of more than one structural build post-dating 1800 should be followed. The exception here being that a more detailed archaeological/analytical survey required during repair works to Category B buildings may not be required here.

3.0 Requirements for buildings post-dating 1945

No survey or archaeological work required. In most cases the retention of a photographic record, with notes, should be sufficient.

4.0 Recommendations for future treatment of locks

1. A full analytical survey record of all locks is required as they are complex features exhibiting evidence of development over a long period. Any modifications or repairs affecting the structure should be preceded by an archaeological/analytical survey. This should include a plan, and where appropriate sections and elevations at a scale of at least 1:50, supported by written descriptions and photographs. Photographs should be taken in both colour and monochrome or slide; the latter for long-term archival purposes.
2. Subsequent opportunities arising to record historic fabric during repair work should be taken to supplement this record. Details of any new repair work should be recorded and added to this entry in the Sites and Monuments Record.
3. Historical fabric should not be removed from these structures or its environs without providing an opportunity for recording by an archaeologist.
4. Excavation in the vicinity of these structures, both internally and externally, should be monitored by an archaeologist.

122402 Lammas Lands, Godalming (Wey plan 46)
NT Grade: Regional importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU978445, Centred

Site:122402*0 Lammas Meadow are former hay meadows that used to be managed in common, probably since at least medieval times. A number of English parishes had them, but according to Anthea Brian (1993, 57), only sixteen still survive in England and Wales that are still common land, 'but few of these retain many of the other features characteristic of the medieval system, ie strip ownership marked by mere or dole stones, and an active commoner's association controlling the grazing rights...'

What is interesting about the Godalming meadows is that until very recently nine of the original dole stones seem to have survived in situ. These are shown on the 1967 edition of the 25" OS maps, but all except three appear to have now been removed. The stones were situated in such a way that the Hell Ditch seemed to have cut through them. This means the stones may pre-date this ditch. One of the three current survivors (at SU 98204461) is inscribed by characters that it is not possible to transcribe with a modern typewriter keyboard, suggesting a creation by an illiterate society, or a mason's mark. Two other stones survive. One is not in situ, but has been dug up and cast aside. This is about 30m east of the above mentioned stone. It contains no visible marks, and is vulnerable to being removed entirely from the site.

A third stone has not been seen, but has been reported to the author as being in thick undergrowth on the south side of Hell Ditch near the back of Wyatt's Almshouses. This stone appears to have the mark of the Carpenters' Company stamped on to it (Mr. Stephen Davis of Godalming pers. comm.).

There are survivals of two ditches cutting through the meadows. The best surviving of these is called the Hell Ditch, which joins the Navigation at SU 983448. The other ditch is seen mainly as a linear earthwork extending from SU 981446 to about SU 977444. It is the survival of the boundary stones that makes this site unusual, and of more than local importance. Visited: 15 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122402*0 The recent destruction of the extremely rare boundary stones that survived in this meadow demonstrates how fragile a site's heritage can be. It is vital that the surviving stone, about 20m north of the NT fence, is preserved in situ, although this may be out of NT hands as it is not on their property. All efforts should be made to make this landowner aware of the stone's importance. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

122403 Lammas Mead, pond (Wey plan 46)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU983448, Approximate

Site:122403*0 Pond in alder woodland on east bank of navigation. Although the pond itself is outside NT property, the inlet into the pond is on NT property. This is a brick-lined inlet. The pond is irregularly shaped with a funnel-shaped inlet at the south end furthest from the exit into the Navigation. Water passes freely between pond and Navigation. Shown on 1782 plan of Navigation as 'Harbour for boats'. Visited: 15 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122403*0 Brick-lined inlet should be maintained. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

122404 Hell Ditch, Godalming (Wey plan 46)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU983448, SU969443 Linear

Site:122404*0 Large water-filled ditch in former common meadows. Moderate stream still carried along the channel today. Cuts across former boundary markers shown on 1960s OS maps, possibly post- medieval. Enters the Navigation just above Trower's Bridge. Visited: 15 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122404*0 The ditch itself is outside of NT property, but it empties into the Navigation, so a very small part is on NT property. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

122405 Trower's Bridge, Godalming (Wey plan 46)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU98354488, Approximate

Site:122405*0 Distinctive brick bridge, probably originally of five arches, the central arch seemingly being subsequently removed. This has been replaced by a modern iron railing section. Overall, the bridge is a pleasant structure, and probably formed part of an entrance drive to Unstead Park. It must have been built after 1760. It is shown on the Navigation map of 1782. Visited: 16 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122405*0 This is probably the most distinctive bridge on the Godalming part of the Navigations. Although it seems to have been deformed, it is worthy of further study/survey. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

Description: SU990453, Approximate

Site:122410*0 Double-gated weir in iron and concrete. Six bays or gates in total divided by concrete into sections of two and four bays respectively. North section painted blue with double winding gear, south side painted black with four winding gears. Concrete 'island' between two sections. Present form suggests it was altered in the 1930s as part of River Wey Improvement Scheme, although Harry Stevens' Journal suggests that work in 1928, 1934, 1945, 1953, and 1964 gradually altered the structure to its present form (Journal, p. 158). There was a timber 'tumbling bay' recorded here in the 1760s known as Unstead Sluices. Visited: 16 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122410*0 There should be a historical survey of all the operational machinery on the navigation, concentrating on weirs, locks and other water-control mechanisms, including smaller hatch gates feeding former water meadow carriers. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

Site:122413*0 Concrete and brick canal lock dating from 1762; little of early structure seen. Records show that original structure was at least partly built of timber, but was converted piecemeal to brick and concrete over the first half of the 20th century (Harry Stevens Journal, pp. 162-63, 230). The present structure seems to have been completed following repairs in 1953. Visited: 16 NOV 1995

122415 Peasmarsh, cutting (Wey plan 44)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU99154610, SU99404640 Linear

Site:122415*0 Long cutting, originally about 500m in length, now about 300m survives, was a leat to power Unstead Mill. It was made 1830-31, but must have been expanded into a double cut at the south end by the early 1840s, as two mills are shown on the tithe map. These are known as Unstead Mill and Unstead Little Mill. Used as a corn mill until 1906. The other mill may have been a flock mill. Last buildings demolished in 1950s, and south end of cuts filled in. Now partly derelict industrial area.

Map evidence suggests that there was once two arms on the south side, leading up to the vicinity of the Peamarsh Engineering Works, where the mill once stood. The more westerly was the longer, but this has become truncated and is partly filled in. The east (south) arm has become much silted up and overgrown. The central part of the cutting links with the main navigation; water still freely flows from one to the other, and a barge was moored there at the time of the visit. A wooden bridge crosses the cut leading into the navigation. The northern arm of the cutting is the longest, extending parallel to the navigation for about 250m. Initially it forms part of the landscaping of the garden of Unstead Lodge, a late Victorian middle-class house of moderate size, but as it moves progressively north, it becomes more silted. The last 70m or so are visible only as an earthwork about 5m wide. Visited: 16 NOV 1995

Site:122417*0 Stretch of abandoned railway line, with dismantled bridge over navigation. Brick revetments at ends of embankments still in place. Visited: 16 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122417*0 Brick revetments where the old railway bridge crossed the navigation may need to be repaired in time in interests of public safety. Materials similar to the original building materials should be used. In time we will be considering these features ancient monuments in their own right, and it would be as well to pre-empt this by thoughtful repairs when needed. Compiled: 16 NOV 1995

National Trust property

Description: SU997466, Approximate

Site:122418*0 Site of Stonebridge Wharf, junction with the Wey and Arun Canal. Important wharf site from 1760s. Wharf house and storehouse erected c. 1792. Timber and gunpowder from Chilworth Mills loaded here. Trade declined after closure of Wey and Arun Canal in late 1860s. Ceased to be used as a wharf soon after 1946. Site mainly grassed over today, with industrial development over the northern part. This was probably the main wharf area from 1760 until the opening of the Wey and Arun Canal. After 1816 the wharf expanded over the present part owned by the NT, and this part seems to have been the main wharf area thereafter. Gunpowder store and wharf house still standing.

National Trust property

Description: SU99664737, Approximate

Site:122423*0 Lock keeper's cottage in brick with tile roof; 'lately erected' in 1816. Two storeys, attractive stretcher bond in red-brown brick with gabled windows in upper storey. Roofed brick porch in front centre, with brick two storey wing at rear. Tile roof with stacks at gable ends of main structure. There is a suggestion that some of the windows may have been replaced, as they have red brick surrounds that are not all purely decorative. That on the downstairs north side of the door on the canal front is much larger than elsewhere, suggesting a substantial repair here. The corners of the front walls have red brick quoins. No access given to inspect internally, or at close quarters. According to Alan Wardle, the 'old cottage was rebuilt in 1909-10. There is a photo of the old structure in the Dapdune photo archive, no. P55. Visited: 17 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122423*0 All buildings connected with the navigations should be subjected to a specialist survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further details. Compiled: 17 NOV 1995

122426 St. Catherine's Chapel (Wey plan 41)
NT Grade: Regional importance
Site Status: Scheduled Ancient Monument, Listed Building: Grade I

Description: SU99354819, Approximate

Site:122426*0 Ruins of medieval hilltop chapel, sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Roofless shell of mainly 14th-century date, 45 1/2 by 20 1/2 feet; disused by 1540s. Reputed to be pilgrim's chapel on pilgrim's route to Canterbury, but this is now questioned. The site is now thought to be a chapel serving a local medieval hamlet. Partly restored in 1793 as a romantic ruin. For full description see DoE list of Listed Buildings, Artington 3/50; Grade I.

Hilltop chapels dedicated to St. Catherine are known from the medieval period. Two other well- known sites are St. Catherine's Hill outside Winchester, Hampshire, and Abbotsbury, Dorset. There are seldom more than two or three in any region, hence the designation of regional importance. They were often situated on hills as landmarks for travellers, but this only partly explains their function. They can be quite elaborate, as the excavation of the Winchester example has shown (ref. Proc. Hants. Field Club & Archaeol. Soc. XI (1930), 'The Middle Ages', 191-257, in C F C Hawkes et al, 'Saint Catherine's Hill, Winchester', 1-310). Visited: 15 NOV 1995

Site:122435*0 Medieval castle ruins open to public. Ruins include rectangular keep on motte, gate, bailey wall, and outbuildings. Late 11th century with later additions, mainly through to 16th century. Royal palace in 13th century, but site largely abandoned by 16th century. Keep used as prison in post-medieval period. Part of the ruins have been incorporated into the town museum buildings. These date from c. 1630. For a full description of the various components of the castle see DoE list of Listed Buildings, Guildford nos. 8/14, 8/15, 8/16, 8/17, 8/192 and 8/193. Guildford Castle is visible from the towpath, and in the care of the local council, being set within a municiple park. The principal remains are a small rectangular keep of 12th century date on a large motte. Some ruinous outbuildings survive near 'Castle Arch', a medieval gate arch leading into the bailey of the castle. The outer walls of the bailey are also visible on the south and west sides.

122436 Guildford, medieval town (Wey plan 39)
NT Grade: Regional importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU997494, Centred

Site:122436*0 Important medieval town with outstanding survival of historic buildings. It has its origins as a Late Saxon burh. Later the site of a royal castle and residence, frequently visited by medieval and early Tudor monarchs. Towns such as these are one large archaeological site. Where the Navigation adjoins historic areas, roughly from Millmead SU 99604910 to just north of Bedford Road footbridge SU 99234980, it should be considered that this is all within an archaeological site. Specific sites and historic buildings within this area are also listed separately. A large number of historic house sites are visible from the towpath. The town developed into one of the most important in southern. The Wey Navigation allowed it to continue as an important market town for supplying materials to London from the rural hinterland well into the post-medieval period. It had a Dominican Priory from c. 1275, an important early post- medieval almshouse, and a number of medieval churches. Visited: 15 NOV 1995

Description: SU99594926, Approximate

Site:122437*0 Medieval mill site occupied by later building. Probably occupied this site since the later 13th century. There were previous mills in Guildford, but these moved around, as is recorded in Alexander 1977, and eventually decayed. The present site was a corn and fulling mill until the early 18th century by which the fulling mill had closed. The site was then used to pump water for the local waterworks, whilst corn milling continued until 1892. Present building is a three storey brick structure dating from c. 1771, with western additions c. 1852. For full description see DoE list of Listed Buildings, Guildford no. 8/142.

Site:122496*0 Early 19th century colourwashed stucco house with later extensions. For full description see DoE list, Guildford, 8/145, map SU 9949 SE. This states:

'House. Early C19 with later c19 and C20 extensions to the north. Colourwashed stucco and roughcast with low-pitched, hipped slate roofs over main house, tiled roofs to north.

The National Trust was given this property together with five acres of meadowland by Mr Laurence Powell in 1957. The NT property handbook suggests that the house might be of 18th century origin. Visited: 06 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122496*0 This building should be included in a preliminary specialist buildings survey for the Navigation.

Plate 16: Wharf Cottage from the S

122499 Wharf Cottage, Dapdune Wharf (Wey plan 36)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

National Trust property

Description: SU99285032, Approximate

Site:122499*0 Timber-framed core with brick on front, rendered on end. 18th century with 19th- and 20th-century alterations. Now partly used as workshop and store. For full description see DoE list, Guildford, 1/256, map SU 95 SE. This states:

'Cottage, now part workshop. C18, with C19 extensions. Timber framed core with red and brown brick in front, rendered on end; plain tiled roof, half-hipped and gablet to right. One storey and attic under three C20 hip-roofed, tile-hung casement dormers. Irregular casement fenestration with three windows to right, one under a gauged brick head; tripartite sash to right. Half-glazed double doors left of centre. Pentice extension under catslide roof across the rear, hip-roofed porch over door on right had return front. Two dormers to rear.'

This is little more than a description of a complex building. There is much evidence of patching in the brickwork on the west front, with evidence for narrow silt openings evident above the later windows. This suggests a building that was ill-lit, perhaps reflecting its origin as a gunpowder and carpenter's store. In the 1850s it is recorded that the carpenters workshop at Dapdune was to be rebuilt and extended to form a dwelling house for the wharf supervisor. The conversion may have involved the creation of room in the old attic space. Following the arrival of the Edwards family after 1909, the two storey house was added to the north of the half-hipped cottage. Visited: 06 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122499*0 This building should be included in a full specialist buildings survey. Should any structural alterations be required the management should contact the Cirencester archaeologists to arrange for formal recording to be undertaken beforehand. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further details. Compiled: 08 JAN 1996

Site:122500*0 Early 19th century house with later alterations. For full description see DoE list, Guildford 1/255 map SU95SE.

Although this property does not belong to the National Trust, there is much evidence to suggest that the original 'Dapdune Cottage' was on or near the site of this building. The Jago map of 1823 shows it near the present site. By the later 19th century the property was known as Dapdune House. John Stevens had obtained the moieties on this property between 1882 and 1902 (Dapdune Archives W221/222), but it must have subsequently been sold off, as it was not passed on to the Trust. The deeds state that the house here had formerly been in the occupation of an employee of the Navigation. One suspects it was a wharfinger or manager's house. Afterwards they had let it to a Colonel Nicholetts as a tenant. John Stevens transferred the property to William Stevens III in 1917. Visited: 06 DEC 1995

Rocque's map of 1768 shows a timber yard here, and Jago's map of 1823 shows the inlet or creek there marked 'dock'. It is known that barge building went on here from c. 1900, but recent excavations by C K Currie in 1995 found timbers thought to be the remains of a draw dock that might pre-date this period. There was also evidence for coal being unloaded here.

Occasional worked flints were found, but it could not be conclusively argued that these were in situ as there was evidence of importation of materials to make up the banks. Now houses an exhibition centred on the restored 'Reliance' barge built here earlier this century. See site 122499 for Listed Building Grade II, Wharf Cottage. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122521*0 Should any future opportunities arise to investigate this site archaeologically,, it is important that these should be taken as it is still necessary to determine a firm date for the dock found here by Currie. Compiled: 08 JAN 1996

122523 Stoke Mill (Wey plan 32)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: SU99915106, Approximate

Site:122523*0 A five storey Victorian corn mill building of 1879 in typical industrial design of period in red brick with window arches in yellow brick. This building is not on the site of the original mill, but was rebuilt here following a fire in the old mill in 1863. The present mill building was converted to a roller mill powered by water turbines in 1915. The last miller retired in 1957. An earlier mill had stood to the NE, presumably since Domesday.

In 1635 it was converted to the first paper mill in Surrey by Sir Richard Weston. Corn milling continued on the same site until the fire of 1863. An attempt to rebuild the mill was made, but it was abandoned in 1869, and corn-milling transferred to the new building. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122523*0 Although not NT property, this building should be included in a preliminary specialist buildings survey. Compiled: 08 JAN 1996

Description: TQ01175288, Approximate

Site:122529*0 The first mention of a mill here was in 1733 when it was a paper mill. By 1779 there was also a corn mill on the site, and from 1793 corn only was milled. Early 19th-century maps record an oilseed mill here, but this can not be confirmed from other sources. Towards the end of the 19th century it was converted into a roller mill. Milling ceased by 1910, and in 1945 the mill building was demolished. There are buildings on the site today, but access could not be gained. The county SMR states that an 'extant brestshot {sic} waterwheel' is still present on the site. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

Description: TQ01175293, Approximate

Site:122530*0 Brick and concrete vertical-sided lock with wooden gates on site of earlier timber structure. Earlier wooden structure recorded in 1826 as being 77 feet 3 inches in length, 14 feet 7 inches wide and with a fall of 7 feet 6 inches (GMR 129/1-7/1). This was not the earliest structure as it was 'new' built at least once previously in 1745 at the cost of £303-4s-4d (GMR 129/7/1). It was rebuilt 'almost entirely' in 1861 (GMR 129/105), but even this was probably largely in timber. Altered to present style gradually over later 19th and 20th century. For instance, the 'lower end' was rebuilt in concrete in 1905 and in 1927 the sides were rebuilt in the same material (GMR 137/12/40). Visited: 08 DEC 1995

NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Tree Preservation Order

National Trust property

Description: TQ01175286, Approximate

Site:122532*0 Remains of large oak tree. Parts still alive, but much dead wood in head. Hollow and supported by iron brace. Invades towpath, needing iron railings on bank as safety precaution. Situated between towpath and Mill House (private) garden. Estimated between 250-350 years old, possibly originating about the same time as the navigation. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122532*0 As this tree is in a poor state, it should be monitored regularly. Should it fall, at the least, it will tear a large hole in the bank. At the worst, it will fall into the navigation blocking it, and causing severe bank damage just above a major lock. Compiled: 08 JAN 1996

Description: TQ00915265, Approximate

Site:122533*0 Post-medieval water weir, described as causing floods to adjoining meadows in claims against the Navigation in 1671 (Carter 1965). This is one of the four original 'tumbling bays' created during the initial construction of the Navigation in the 1650s. It is now a concrete and iron structure with winding gear, rebuilt in this century, probably in conjunction with flood relief schemes in the 1930s. Water runs freely over the weir on either side of iron weir gates in the centre. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

122536 Broad Oak Bridge watermeadows (Wey plan 26)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: TQ01905305, Approximate

Site:122536*0 Good system of possibly early watermeadows. The main carrier follows a boundary about 250m north of the navigation, mirroring the curve of the latter. The subsidiary carriers are not easy to see on the ground from some angles, but they comprise shallow gulleys, often less than 0.1m deep. They are marked by a lusher growth of grass. These come off the main carrier at right angles. Over much of the meadow is a second main carrier parallel with the other, but about 50m further south. Sir Richard Weston is supposed to have created a 'flowing river' of some miles in length here to feed the meadows of Sutton Park some year before the navigation was begun. The exact line of this system is not known, but it may have followed the northern carrier of this system, and possibly part of the navigation itself further downstream. Visited: 08 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122536*0 All water control features should be subject to a specialist survey. The main sluice was probably on the old river arm near TQ 01245314 on private property that was not accessible. An extension of the main carrier follows the left bank of the navigation intermittently as far as TQ 01535412. Compiled: 08 JAN 1996

National Trust property

Description: TQ01285484, Approximate

Site:122553*0 Late 18th-century brick lock-keeper's house with tile roof. Brass plaque on front stamped with coat-of-arms and 'Birmingham District', possibly expressing links with Midland canals. Documents record lock-house being constructed 1769-70, although site had had its own permanent lock-keeper since 1740s. In 1888 the house was described as having a blacksmith's shop attached and a shed in the garden (GMR 129/141/4). In 1916 an 'additional two rooms' were added to this cottage (GMR 137/12/40), possibly meaning the single storey annex at the back. The original cottage was a evidently a simple rectangular design, in red-brown brick, with a central door opening out on to the lock. There are only two windows on the front. These are to the left (north) of the central door. The ground floor window has a slight segmental arch. The door has a simple wooden porch with cladding on the roof. There are no windows on the right of the door. Instead there are two simple flat-headed windows in the south end of the house looking down the Navigation, one upstairs and one down. There is a single external brick stack attached to the north gable wall. The roof is a plain double pitched type in tile, with a chimney stack against the north wall. At the rear is a single-storey two- annex in red-purple brick with a tile roof. On the north end is a further smaller single-storey annex with weatherboard cladding and a tile roof.

NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ01615569, Approximate

Site:122557*0 Brick house, with weatherboards on upper storey and tile roof. Stands over cellar at north end. External hatch gives access to partly sunken cellar. According to occupier the house was formerly a barn, moved to this spot in 1885 (Vince Locatelli pers. comm.), and erected on site of earlier building. There is an impression that there may be two phases of building here.

The larger part of the building seems to be a simple rectangular building with chimneys against each end wall. There are two windows up and two down either side of a central door. The building seems to be set on a brick cill extending to halfway up the door. Thereafter the walls are clad in black weatherboards. There is a weatherboarded lean-to attached to the south end wall with a tile roof, and a veranda extending the length of this part of the building with a tile roof attached. There is a slight off-set at the north end of the section described above, with a further annex to the north. This stands over a cellar, and is made of brick up to first floor level. The room over the cellar is slightly raised above ground level. Above the ground floor room is an attic with a dormer window. It is possible that this smaller section may be the original building, with the larger house added on later. However, this is not certain, and the storey that the present house was rebuilt from materials taken from a barn elsewhere needs to be considered in the analysis. Visited: 10 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122557*0 All buildings connected with the navigations should be subjected to a specialist survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings.

This building is unusually complex for a navigation employees house, and should be formally recorded as soon as the opportunity arises to test the tradition that it was re-erected on the site partly from a barn taken down elsewhere.

122558 Worsfold Gates, workshop (Wey plan 24)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

National Trust property

Description: TQ01615569, Approximate

Site:122558*0 Timer-framed with tarred weather board cladding on rendered brick plinth and tile roof. Extension on east. For full description see DoE list, Send, 1/183, map TQ 05 NW. This states: 'Workshop. Late C17. Timber framed with tarred weatherboard cladding over rendered brick plinth, plain tiled roof, hipped to right with pan tiled roof over single storey hip roof to left. Rectangular plan of 4 bays. Two mullioned windows under the eaves to the right, each 7 lights with overlapping glass panes. Metal framed windows to ground floor, one 5-light and one 12-light. Double doors to right hand return under drip board. Hearth to one end. The workshop is connected with the Wey Navigation (cut in 1653) and was possibly the workshop for the construction of the lock gates.'

The are a number of points to make about this description. There is no direct evidence known to the compiler to link this building with the early days of the navigation before 1700. Therefore the late 17th century attribution might be questioned. There was a carpenters shop at Send Wharf, 0.5km to the north, called the Lug or Log House until about 1782. (It had gone by 1804). This suggests that the original workshop may have been at the nearest wharf, not by this lock. The navigation was reorganised from 1764, and lockhouses built. Worsfold Lock was rebuilt in brick c. 1760, and it is possible the buildings here were put up around this time. These discrepancies highlight the need to record the buildings at Worsfold before the evidence is eroded away by piecemeal repairs. Visited: 10 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122558*0 All buildings connected with the navigation should be included in a preliminary specialist buildings survey. Other workshops in this yard, although not of any obvious historical interest, should also be included in this survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken. It is particularly important to determine a more exact date for some of the buildings at Worsfold to settle a possible discrepancy in the evidence that suggests that the workshop here may date from closer to the reorganisation of the navigation after 1764. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials.

122570 Papercourt Lock (Wey plan 21)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ03405682, Approximate

Site:122570*0 Concrete and brick vertical-sided-lock. Wooden gates. Reputed to be one of the oldest locks working in the UK, but this is not true. The present lock site is, in fact, one of the most recent on the Navigation. The old lock was on the site of what is now the emergency spillway. The lock site was changed to the present location in the 1780s, the only Wey Navigation lock known to have been definitely moved from its original position. The conversion to the present structure was piecemeal over the later 19th and 20th centuries. Although records referred to extensive rebuildings at these times (40 tons of Portland Cement was used to repair this lock in 1907 - GMR 137/12/40) in concrete, the sides were still partly made of turf in 1957 (Vine 1987, plate 81). Visited: 10 DEC 1995

Description: TQ03405682, Approximate

Site:122571*0 Brick lock-keeper's house with tile roof rebuilt on the present site in 1922 (GMR 137/12/40, p. 10). The original house was built in 1766 on what is now the island between the lock and the emergency spillway (weir) (GMR 129/7/2, pp. 37-38). Before this date the lock-keeper here was based at 'Sendheath' Wharf near to Highbridge. The warehouse of this wharf is located nearer to Cartbridge on a different site. In 1770 a stable was added to the original house (GMR 129/7/1). The survey of 1826 refers to the house as being two rooms and a stable on the ground floor, with three rooms over (GMR 129/107/1).

Red brick walls, two windows up stairs, two down with central door under brick porch on front (east) face. Tile roof with chimney stacks at each end. Double pitch roof over simple rectangular plan. Windows over front face have slight segmental arches over. 16 pane windows. Two storey brick wing to rear, also with tile roof. Visited: 11 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122571*0 NT property, this building should be included in a specialist buildings survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings.

122579 Newark, eel trap (Wey plan 20)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: TQ03945755, Approximate

Site:122579*0 A very good example of a brick-made eel trap, once common on medieval rivers. Many survived and were rebuilt in brick into the early 20th century. Often associated with mills. They comprise a brick sluice, with an iron hurdle placed at an angle of 45 degrees into the river bed in the sluice channel. At night, the eels thinking their passage is blocked, climb the iron hurdle to leave the water, and crawl overland around the sluice. Half-way up the wall of the sluice are holes in the brickwork leading into an enclosed water-filled tank. The eels think this is the river, and climb through the holes into the tank, where they are collected by the fishermen in the morning. When eels are running down river to spawn, it was not unknown to catch one hundred eels in these traps. This example is marked '1818', but is thought to have earlier, possibly monastic, origins.

National Trust property

Description: TQ05025781, Approximate

Site:122593*0 Yellow brick lock-keeper's house with tile roof. Brick in centre of upper storey in front incised '1896'. Mentioned in 1775 survey, probably recently built. Described in 1826 as two rooms upstairs, two rooms downstairs. Has been extensively repaired, dated brick suggests at least once in 1896. £29-10-0d was spent weather-tiling it in 1936. Yellow brick rectangular two-storey plan with two storey wing at rear, possibly an addition. Red tile roof, with windows in the sides looking along the Navigation. The upper storey is weather- tiled. This house has been rebuilt from the original, which was put up probably between 1764 and 1775. Visited: 12 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122593*0 All historic buildings connected with the navigation should be included in a preliminary specialist buildings survey. All buildings connected with the navigations should be subjected to a specialist survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further guidelines for this site. Compiled: 13 JAN 1996

Site Status: None

Description: TQ05205839, Approximate

Site:122597*0 Just north of garden wall 122596, the west bank of the Navigation has been incorporated into an ornamental garden feature. The bank has been cut back into a flattened semi-circle about 15m wide, and lined with stone or concrete forming a basin. Uncertainty about the structure can be attributed to the fact that it can only be viewed from the opposite bank. Its date is uncertain. It is not possible to say whether it is associated with the other 17th/18th century garden features nearby, or was a later addition. Visited: 27 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122597*0 Although not strictly NT property, the structure is associated directly with the Navigation, and should be included in a specialist architectural survey. Compiled: 13 JAN 1996

Description: TQ05465858, Approximate

Site:122601*0 Footbridge, single span. Iron bridge supported on mainly brick winged piers, but with some ashlar blocks in lower courses. Unremarkable bridge similar to one at Walsham Lock which is date stamped 1785. There are considerable traces of whitewash on the bricks of the west pier. The east pier has been much damaged by collisions with passing barges. Referred to throughout 18th century accounts of the Navigation. Appears to be recorded as 'Ponslows Bridge' in 1748, and 'Lord Onslow's Bridge' in 1736. By 1775 it is recorded as Pigeon House Bridge, and is stated as made of brick. GMR 129/79/1 states that it was rebuilt in brick in 1763. Visited: 27 NOV 1995

Description: TQ05406107, Centred

Site:122611*0 Although this site is listed on the County SMR as an icehouse, the wood here contains a number of historic features of interest, including ornamental ponds. It is thought that they are garden features associated with West Hall, but it is not known when they originated. It seems that some time in the 18th century is most likely. West Hall, then West Lodge, is first shown on Rocque's map of 1768, but the ponds in Oldwood are not shown, and the wood seems only half its later size. Features are shown on map of James Sparks' estate of 1825, but the ponds have been altered since then. Visited: 27 NOV 1995

122616 New Haw Lock, lockhouse (Wey plan 8)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

National Trust property

Description: TQ05506309, Approximate

Site:122616*0 Brick lock-keeper's house with slate roof; DOE listing suggests it is 19th century? GMR 129/81 says the house was built in 1782. It is marked on the map of that date. For full description see DoE list Addlestone 6/126. This states:

'Probably early C19. Two storeys, red brick. Two casements. Slate roof. Central door with flat hood on brackets. Gable ends with stacks. Associated with the Wey Navigation, the first canal in the country.'

The latter statement is not true. Canals at Exeter and Titchfield Haven were much earlier. The DoE description does not mention that there is an outshot at the rear under the same roof (catslide). The lower windows at the front have segmental arches, those at the top are flat headed. These windows facing the canal now have shutters. The building was rebuilt in 1982 following a fire connected with a gas explosion (Alan Wardle, photographic notes to photo SJ43). Visited: 28 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122616*0 All buildings connected with the navigations should be subjected to a specialist survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further guidelines for this site. Compiled: 14 JAN 1996

122619 Coxes Lock Mill (Wey plan 5)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

Description: TQ06116418, Approximate

Site:122619*0 A mill was established here in 1777 as an iron mill, but by the 1830s it had been converted to a corn and silk mill. The silk mill soon fell into abeyance, but corn milling continued here until the 1980s. Barges served the mill with grain until 1969, and this mill was the last industrial site to use the Navigation to any extent. Today there are three massive blocks in yellowish brick that have been converted into apartments. These are the south, west and east blocks of the Coxes Mill industrial site. The earliest block is the southern, of three storeys, and probably late 18th-century in date. The east block is seven storeys, and the west block rises to five. Both are thought to be 19th century. The mill was powered by a large millpond (see 122620) which was created soon after milling started here to try to resolve the friction between the mill owner and the Navigation commissioners over use of water to power the mill. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

NT Grade: Local importance

National Trust property

Description: TQ06006410, Centred

Site:122620*0 Large millpond created to drive water mill without interfering too drastically with the running of the Navigation. About 10-12 acres in extent, with free, uncontrolled access for water in and out of the pond from the Navigation. There are no control sluices. The pond is shown on the 1782 map of the Navigation, suggesting that it was built soon after the mill was set up. There is a series of documents record acrimony over water use between the Navigation Commissioners and the mill owner. The building of the pond did not entirely settle this problem, although it was created with this intention in mind. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

NT Grade: Regional importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ06886474, Approximate

Site:122623*0 Series of Bronze Age finds made at confluence of Old and New Rivers with the Bourne stream. These include a flanged axe, four socketed celts, a socketed knife, two rapiers, a spear, a looped and socketed spearhead and three leaf-shaped swords. A large number of finds of other dates have also been found here; see 122624, 122625, & 122626. The large number of finds here suggests that this meeting of Bourne and Wey held some special significance to prehistoric and later people. The finds may be votive offerings to a river god, but it is also possible there was some sort of settlement here at an important crossing point over the old Wey. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122623*0 Most of the finds seem to have been made during dredging operations, and the archaeology on the river bed may be largely removed by now. However, further remains may exist on the banks, and any repair works here should be carefully monitored as this could be a very important site. It is advised that advice from Cirencester is obtained prior to any further work here. Compiled: 15 JAN 1996

122627 Hamm Court Farm, moated site
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: TQ06736544, Centred

Site:122627*0 Large moated enclosure, c. 150m by 100m, thought to be demense centre of the Chertsey sub-manor of Ham. It was later included in the Portmore's estate on both banks of the Navigation at Weybridge. The main house had moved to the east bank by the 17th century, leaving the moated site to function as a home farm. The estate included an important Thames side wharf at Ham just west of the junction of the Wey and the Thames. The wharf owners complained that the building of the Navigation would interfere with their trade. The wharf was still shown on the estate map of 1732. The buildings around the moat are largely unremarkable, and are only just partly visible from the towpath, but they may contain older features. The moat itself is mostly dry and only contains water after prolonged rain. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122627*0 Not NT property, this is a marginal site in the visual envelope as it is barely visible because of trees. However, there is an historical connection with the Navigation. Inclusion within an architectural study might be considered on historical rather than visual criteria, but this depends on a closer study of the surviving buildings by an expert in this field.

National Trust property

Description: TQ07236552, Approximate

Site:122630*0 Former lock-keepers house in brick with tile roof first built in 1765 (GMR 129/7/2); now a National Trust office. Described in 1826 as four rooms up, four down with a stable on the ground floor under the same roof (GMR 129/107/1). Much restored since. According to Alan Wardle, the old cottage was demolished and rebuilt in 1975 (pers. comm.). Brick cottage, built slightly broader than other examples on the Navigation, painted white. Tile roof with lean-tos in brick and tile on north and south side. Bay window to left (north) of central door. Chimney stack at south end. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122630*0 All buildings connected with the navigations should be subjected to a specialist survey. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken if they consider this is necessary. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity.

122631 Thames Street, Weybridge; gate piers
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

Description: TQ07686534, Approximate

Site:122631*0 Gate piers to former Portmore estate, possibly by William Talman; late 17th century. The estate had strong historical connections with the Navigation, being on either side of the cut north of Weybridge Lock. The Portmores were also joint owners of the Navigation throughout the 18th century. By 1823 the mansion is shown on Jago's map as in ruins. It was demolished soon after. The main estate is now built over. For full description see DoE list, Weybridge 1/417 Visited: 28 NOV 1995

122632 Oatlands Park Hotel
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: Listed Building: Grade II

Description: TQ08526518, Centred

Site:122632*0 Oatlands Park has a strong historical connection with the Navigation. Much of the timber used to build it came from Oatlands Park. The park and its various houses were much praised as being at the forefront of aristocratic fashion in their day. The park was a royal residence in the 16th century, and Henry VIII had a substantial palace here. In 1716 a new house was built by the Earl of Lincoln. Later in the 18th-century the Broad Water was created and an elaborate landscape park was laid out that was the height of fashion. This house burnt down in 1794, and the present structure was built. This was partly demolished in 1858, and redesigned as a hotel. The various houses have not all been on exactly the same site. According to Longley (1976, 16-21) the Tudor palace was sited at TQ 078651 off Old Palace Road. For full description see DoE list Weybridge 1/266. Visited: 28 NOV 1995

National Trust property

Description: TQ05196013, Approximate

Site:122639*0 Brick bridge with single span of iron supports. Winged piers mainly red brick, but some yellow brick on lower courses of west side; occasional reused stone of corners. Heavily overgrown with ivy. Typical of late 18th century brick bridges on the Navigation. Other examples can be seen at Cartbridge, Pigeon House, and Walsham Lock. Has changed names during its existence. In 1825 it is 'Harris' or Dodd's Bridge'; in 1775 it is 'Harris' or Marlin's Bridge'; in 1736 and c. 1748 it appears to be called Wilford's Bridge; it was also known as Martin's or Brishet's Bridge, the latter after a nearby farm now gone. The date of the brick piers is given as 1768, when it was apparently rebuilt. Visited: 30 NOV 1995

Site:122641*0 Bridge with winged brick breastworks and single span wooden crossing supports. Carries an unmade motor track to West Hall, Woking Right-of-way 132 BW. Poor condition, brickwork damaged by passing barges. Overgrown with ivy in parts. Date stone on west breastwork reads 1761. Has had various names in past, including Sparks' (c. 1800), Twigs (c.1785), and Boards (c. 1748). Similar to other late 18th century bridges over the Navigation at Dodd's, Cartbridge and Walsham Lock. Recorded as to be built as part of agreement to cut Navigation through the lands here in 1650s, although it may not have been put up until slightly later (1670s?). Visited: 30 NOV 1996

NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

Description: TQ05516057, Approximate

Site:122642*0 Country house in red brick. Largely unattractive building much added to for what appears to be office development. Despite this house being around since at least 1768, none of the obvious sources on country house (Pevsner, VCH, Prosser) comment on it, suggesting it has never been highly thought of. Nevertheless it is strongly connected with the Navigation, and the grounds contain a number of landscape features worthy of comment. It was previously known as West Lodge. Agreement to cut Navigation in 1650s records a 'Westhouse', but not sure if this is on present site, or on site of home farm. Visited: 30 NOV 1995

Site:122644*0 Linear pond known as the 'moat', but it is not known if this names derives from a genuine moated site. All indications are that this pond is part of a system of ornamental ponds in the grounds of West Hall. A number are shown on a plan of 1825. There is a sluice exit leading into the west bank of the Navigation, but this is heavily overgrown, and on a private bank. Only a fragment of the brickwork is visible from the towpath.

Description: TQ05526117, Approximate

Site:122645*0 Timber-framed barn on brick plinth, with weatherboard cladding on upper part. Corrugated iron cladding on lower part. Modern lean-to on west side not inspected as access was denied. Generally in poor condition, this structure does not appear to be mentioned in 1840, and is thought to be a later 19th century structure. Currently used by an engineering firm? Welding in progress when visited. Visited: 30 NOV 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122645*0 This building should be included in an architectural survey as it is NT property. This wharf is the last small rural wharf to survive apparently intact on the Navigation. Its present use as an engineering workshop, with welding being undertaken here is an inappropriate use as there is considerable risk of losing the buildings entirely to fire damage. As soon as the lease runs out the Trust should consider taking this wharf back into direct ownership, and turning it into a display centre for visitors. Should any structural alterations be proposed to this building please contact the archaeological advisors at Cirencester well in advance so that they can arrange for formal recording to be undertaken. All historic buildings owned by the NT should only be repaired with appropriate period materials. Modern substitutes should be discouraged, where they have been used they should be changed at the first opportunity. For example, plastic PVC windows frames are not suitable for NT vernacular buildings. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further guidelines for this site. Compiled: 20 JAN 1996

Description: TQ05526119, Approximate

Site:122646*0 Storehouse with brick lower storey and weatherboard cladding on upper part. Simple rectangular plan, with corrugated roof, probably a replacement of tile or slate type. Remains of iron hoist arm on west side over opening at first floor level to take in stores, and three supporting brick buttresses on north side. Sale Catalogue of 1840 reports that a James Yeowell, grocer, mealman and coal merchant has carried on his business here for many years. Mentions wharfage available. Structure also recorded in 1807; there appears to have been a wharf site here from at least 1775. The name 'Grist Mill' probably relates to a short period when meal may have been ground here, probably by a horse mill. Visited: 30 NOV 1995

122651 Watercress Beds, Addlestone (Wey plan 6)
NT Grade: Minimal importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ05706381, Centred

Site:122651*0 OS maps of 1960s show nine linear ponds parallel to, and immediately against, the south bank of the Navigation. However, these are heavily overgrown and it is not possible to distinguish any clear divisions. The site today looks like one large hollow about 200m by 15m. It seems that these features were used until relatively recently, as the invasive vegetation does not seem to be of any great age. A Mr Colyer is recorded as paying 10/- pa for easement of a pipe to 'watercress beds' in 1888. Visited: 03 DEC 1995

Management Recommendations:

Site:122651*0 This site is a possibility for inclusion in a survey of water control features. Compiled: 20 JAN 1996

122652 Coxes Lock, stable (Wey plan 5)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ06116418, Approximate

Site:122652*0 Small timber-framed stable, about 5m by 6m, with corrugated iron cladding and roof. Inside are original wooden hitching posts and a feeding trough (the latter against the west wall), the latter partly destroyed by fire. The building is heavily vandalised as it is open to entry. This building was clearly associated with horse-drawn barges on the Navigation, and should be better protected. It is in a very derelict state when visit, and seems to have been abandoned to the elements. Visited: 03 DEC 1996

Management Recommendations:

Site:122652*0 Should be included in architectural survey. This site urgently needs to be protected from continuing vandalism. Please refer to general recommendations on pp. 3-4 for further guidelines for this site. Compiled: 20 JAN 1996

122653 Black Boy Bridge (Wey plan 4)
NT Grade: Local importance
Site Status: None

National Trust property

Description: TQ064647, Approximate

Site:122653*0 Concrete or concrete rendered bridge crossing the Navigation in a single span. Uncertain survival of earlier structure under the concrete. It is in the typical style of the late 18th century Navigation bridges, but these were made in brick. The style was still used in the 1930s when Wareham's bridge was rebuilt in concrete. Possibly known as Stile's Bridge before c. 1800. There may have been a wharf near here; one is mentioned on 1888 sale catalogue. Visited: 03 DEC 1996

Management Recommendations:

Site:122653*0 All Navigation bridges should be included in architectural study. Compiled: 20 JAN 1996
