Abstract: |
The study area contains no known sites or monuments of archaeological significance. Although unknown earlier sites may have existed in the vicinity, this part of north east Suffolk appears to have been thinly settled at best, with even medieval settlements such as Oulton and Flixton being represented only by an isolated church and a handful of houses. The site in question was therefore probably not occupied until 1765 when the hospital itself was erected as a workhouse (the House of Industry). The workhouse has seen several phases of enlargement and alteration: the main range of the original buildingappears to have been the only survival of the initial open-courtyard house, and that has also now been removed. Of the earlier hospital buildings, only the former chapel (now ambulance station) remains, and this lies just outside the development area (marked green on fig. 2). It will be seen that nothing now stands within the development area. |
