| Abstract: |
Archaeological recording on behalf of Stoneleigh Abbey Ltd and Historic Houses Rescue Ltd continued during 2000. Inside the conservatory on the south side of the house, originally obstructed in 1851 to the design of William Burns, the modern concrete floor was removed, exposing the original lines of the brick edging to two symmetrical planting areas. These both had circular brick-edged planters at their corners, c.0.6m across, which would originally have held large stone urns; remnants of one such urn were found on one of the planters. At the centres of the northern edges of the two planting areas were semi-circular water features, still being fed with water from lead pipes from a source to the north. To the south-east of the house, in an area where new garages had been erected, groundworks revealed a series of former yard surfaces and low-lying brick flooring with associated stone walls. Brick walls were also noted. These features were most likely to have related to 18th/19th century lean-to sheds against the high garden wall. [Au] |
