Abstract: |
The evaluation took place within the grounds of Bromham Mill (HER 1029) and the mill house garden, close to extant 18th-19th century structures which formed part of this long-lived mill. Previous investigations (Albion Archaeology 2002) revealed undated, truncated structural remains within the ''yard'' area of the PDA (immediately north of its entrance on Stagsden Road). These were interpreted as the remains of former buildings associated with the mill. Bromham Mill and the land adjacent to the bridge has also been considered as the putative site of the Bromham chantry chapel (founded in AD1295 and dedicated to St Mary and St Katherine). Within the mill house garden, the evaluation revealed part of an undated structure and a post-medieval ditch containing a small quantity of 17th-18th century pottery. A post-medieval wall and a number of broadly contemporary surfaces associated with the pre-1883 mill were also revealed within the extant hovel building. These are considered to be of local significance. The undated structural remains may be part of Bromham chantry chapel. If so, the identification of surviving elements of the chapel is of regional significance as its actual physical location has never been conclusively demonstrated before. |
