Abstract: |
Trenching within the building complex associated with the Hall suggested that earlier archaeological deposits masked by later development did not exist, the stratigraphic sequence suggesting that the current buildings had been directly built onto sandstone bedrock. Within the Mill, the wheel-pit was fully emptied and was observed to be a monumental structure consistent with a large waterwheel required for grinding and crushing raw materials required for dyes and chemicals. Possible, subterranean facilities probably existed within the Mill that may have served as stores and cellars |
