Abstract: |
In October 2007, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment of the site of the Bush Hall Hotel, Mill Green, Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The work was commissioned prior to the finalisation of proposals for redevelopment, at the request of the client. The Bush Hall Hotel site has a high potential for remains dating from postmedieval, early modern and modern periods, but only a low or moderate potential for archaeological evidence pre-dating the medieval period. The potential of the site therefore refers almost exclusively to the post-medieval establishment of Bush Hall and its later development. The main hotel building is a Grade II listed former country house, which was requisitioned as a Red Cross hospital during World War II and later served as a preparatory school before becoming a hotel. The subsidiary and outbuildings located within the site are predominantly early modern in date, with modern extensions. As outlined in the Bush Hall Conservation Plan (DIA 2007), it is necessary that any planning proposals for the site are sympathetic to its history and local significance, as well as its importance as part of the larger Hatfield House estate. |
