Abstract: |
Finchingfield, Ashwell Hall, Waltham's Cross (FFAH 15, TL 70708 30312) evaluation trenching for a new extension, the replacement of a redundant building and a proposed swimming pool did not reveal any archaeological features or any stray finds of pre 19th/20th century date. While Ashwell Hall is recorded as a manorial centre from the 1500s with probable earlier medieval origins and 19th century maps depict a substantial farm complex to the south of the hall remarkably little now survives above ground of any age with no evidence for Ashwell Hall and only a very small fragments of pre-1900 farm building surviving to the east and south of the large mid 20th century bungalow that now occupies the site. Finally a farm water tower of 1920s/1930s date, prior to its conversion to office use, and various dilapidated 20th century farm buildings were recorded photographically. |
