Abstract:
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted geophysical survey and trial trenching on the site of Bentley Hall, off Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Walsall, in September and October 2007. Ground conditions were not conducive to either magnetometer or resistance survey. Modern paths and traces of Victorian drains were the only features revealed. The trial trenches were, however, more successful. Cut features from which medieval pottery was recovered may be associated with a putative medieval hall on the site. The substantial remains of a brick wall discovered adjacent to the modern Bentley Cairn appears to be part of the Jacobean hall which was the home of the Lane family who played a part in Charles II's escape after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. A stone mullioned window set onto the foundation wall may indicate an internal cellar at this position. The Jacobean wall was subsequently re-used to provide provided a footing to the later Victorian Hall. A north-south wall was revealed in two trenches and marks the property and garden boundary of the Victorian Bentley Hall. A brick lined well and two brick or stone lined drains were found to the east of the site.
