Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains in the area of Wormsley Park, Stokenchurch, to accompany an application for the installation of a temporary auditorium, car parking facilities and service trenches. A number of archaeological sites were recorded on the Historic Environment Record for Buckinghamshire, but further sites have also been recognised. Occupation in the vicinity of Wormsley has been noted archaeologically dating from the 16th century onwards, but can be presumed from historical sources to be older. A hunting regime has existed at Wormsley since the late 11th century, while gardens were planned around the house from the 17th century, of which 4 phases are evident. Some of these garden features may still exist in the areas of the proposed development. The earlier garden features, however, are believed to be greatly disturbed during the renovation of the house and gardens in 1987-90, which saw the rebuilding of the flint haha and the insertion of service trenches. Strip and record or a watching brief is suggested as a possible solution to recording any potential archaeology that may have survived the events of the 1980s. |
