Abstract: |
The assessment examines an area of land at 19 Church Square, Toddington, formerly the Sow and Pigs public house in Central Bedfordshire at NGR: TL 0095 2897 (Figure 1). It assesses the potential impact of the proposed development on the known and potential archaeological resource, within a 500m radius of the site. No designated historic environment assets will be directly affected by the development, although there may be a number of issues related to setting with regard to Listed buildings. Potential impacts on the settings of other designated historic assets are not assessed in this document. There is little to suggest any Prehistoric or Roman settlement in the vicinity of the site, although the site may lie within the focus of the Saxon/early Medieval settlement and is clearly located in the historic core of Medieval to modern settlement in Toddington around the Medieval church, castle and market place. The proposed development is of limited extent, but there is moderate to high potential for finding significant archaeological remains dating to the Saxon/early Medieval through to the Post-medieval periods. Historic assets which may be impacted upon include possible undefined Saxon/early Medieval activity and structural and backland activity dating to the Medieval and Post-medieval periods. The public house itself appears to be a typical 19th century construct, with 20th century modifications. Redevelopment of the existing structure will have an impact on the historic fabric of the building and will involve substantial modification of the interior. Examination of the structure, however, suggests that the building has limited potential and that any such alterations could easily be mitigated through a programme of building recording. |
