Abstract: |
A desktop study was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. The study showed that the there was evidence for Roman activity in the vicinity of the site and a Romano-British feature had been excavated approximately 160m to the south-west of the site. The manor of Blackswarth itself would seem to have been of at least medieval origin with the manor being handed to St. Augustine's Abbey in 1153. Early cartographic evidence possibly suggested that Blackswarth Road existed from 1769, which, if correct, would have suggested that St. Anthony's Chapel lay within the vicinity or close to the site. Cartographic and documentary evidence indicated that seven cottages were erected on the site by 1802, which were demolished at some point between 1949 and 1958. [Au(adp)] |
