Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of five trenches, was carried out. The remains of the Winchester Lodges were located near the northwestern corner of the park, where remains of the formal tree avenues, probably of 17th/18th-century date still exist. Capability Brown was employed in landscaping North Storeham Park in the 1770s, but there was little definite evidence of his work beyond the possible break up of the formal avenues. The park was reorganised following the building of a new house on a different site in about 1818 that included the realignment of the northern approach drive. The Winchester Lodges were probably built as part of this work, between 1818 and 1846. Archaeological excavation identified the line of the new drive, which had replaced an earlier drive that had survived until after 1818, but had gone by the early 1840s. After the abandonment of the lodges, the new drive seemed to have fallen out of regular use. The original alignment around the east end of Avenue Pond was found to be more curving than later alignments suggested. [Au(abr)] |
