| Abstract: |
A programme of earthwork survey and building recording was undertaken prior to the redevelopment of the site of Barnburgh Hall. A tentative interpretation of the landscape development of Barnburgh Hall, based upon the results of the past evaluation trenching, earthwork trenching, earthwork survey and the building recording suggested the following sequence of evens. A settlement of late prehistoric date was established, for which the only evidence comprised negative features. A medieval manor house was established within an undefended curtillage still partially defined by earthwork features 7 and 8, and the south, west and northern sides of the walled garden, and stable block. During the early post-medieval period, the house may have been re-built or remodelled, and a large dovecote constructed within the south-east corner of the manorial enclosure. A new entrance to the enclosure was probably formed, facing the west elevation of the dovecote. During the 18th century, the stables were constructed along the north side of the site. Possibly at the same time, the walled garden was laid out, and feature 1 may have developed as a result of gardening activity. During the early to mid 19th century, following a change in function of the Stable Block (malthouse to stables?), a small platform was constructed which may have served as a tennis court or similar recreation area. Probably during this period the pond to the south of the dovecote was excavated, some of the spoil forming a low earthwork recorded as feature 2. Elements of re-used timber framing was noted within both the dovecote and the stables. The cottages, although of 19th century date, included stonework of 17th century date. Barnburgh Hall itself was suggested as comprising an Elizabethan 'core', with 18th and 19th century modifications. It was entirely plausible that components of the earlier phases of Barnburgh Hall had found their way into the three surviving buildings. [Au(adp)] |
