Abstract:
Reports on the work undertaken in 2011 for the Brightwell Baldwin Community History and Archaeology Project, run by the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group. A resistivity survey in Brightwell Park in 2008--09 had located the site of the old manor house, burnt down in 1788, revealing an extensive complex of buildings with clear signs of surrounding formal gardens, whilst in 2009 and 2010 excavations located the probable main entrance to the late medieval manor house. In early 2011 the Group learned that Brightwell Park was to be sold, with no guarantee that excavations would be possible in future years. A number of relatively small trial trenches were therefore opened over the supposed site of the main house and its assumed terrace. Although a full report and closer dating await more detailed analysis of the excavation data, it is already clear that conclusions reached in 2009/10 must be substantially reconsidered. However, the excavators are confident that there was a substantial post-medieval house at the site, with a large ornamental terrace, and that the house overlay an earlier one from the late medieval period. Evidence suggests that there was extensive remodelling of the original manor house, involving significant demolition and rebuilding. In addition, another substantial medieval building lay some distance from the site of the manor house. LD
