Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In September 2015, an archaeological excavation was undertaken by Beamish Museum to identify remains of a cottage known as ‘Homer’s House’, near Warden, Northumberland. The cottage had previously been occupied by Joseph Hedley, a professional quilter who was murdered in 1826. These works were commissioned as part of the ‘Remaking Beamish’ project, funded by the Heritage Lottery. The excavation succeeded in identifying three of the building’s four walls, its internal flagstone flooring and brick-built fireplace, a detailed sequence of contexts relating to the cottage’s demolition,and a substantial number of artefacts. The work will form the basis of a recreation of the cottage at Beamish Museum and also provides an excellent understanding of the archaeological remains of one of the best recorded eighteenth-century small vernacular dwellings in the region. The full report for the excavation will be deposited with Northumberland County Council in due course. | |||||||||
