Abstract: |
Wendover House School was established within the grounds of the Grade II listed manor house that had been rebuilt by Devey in the late 19th century. The oldest parts of the building are the Grade II listed stable block, which bears the date 1735, and part of the main building, which could be 17th century. A number of purpose built school buildings were added from the 1960s in a variety of architectural styles. Archaeological remains uncovered during construction works include a female skeleton to the east of the site and medieval and post-medieval features in the Grade II listed walled garden to the northwest. Roman coins and medieval pottery have also been found in the grounds. The earliest occupation evidence recovered from the school grounds and the churchyard so far is 12th century. |
