Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
At the southern end of Uckfield High Street, on the northern bank of the River Uck, lies Grade II-listed Bridge Cottage. The building, which comprises one of the largest Wealden hall houses in the area, has recently been the subject of comprehensive restoration. Bridge Cottage was originally saved from demolition in the 1970s by Uckfield District Preservation Society. Once ownership was secured, repairs were carried out and excavations, led by Ian Brooker, undertaken. Brooker never succeeded in publishing the results and it was not until Archaeology South-East’s involvement that the earlier excavations could be fully understood. The more recent archaeological work was undertaken in response to the latest renovations and this article reports on their results. They are significant in showing the development of an individual house plot from the late medieval to post-medieval period. They provide an important analysis of architectural expressions of status and display for a Wealden household of the yeoman class. | ||||||||||||||||||||
