Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken at Church Lane, Hallow in 1999 (NGR SO 8305 5805; WSM 27206). The project was commissioned by Laing Homes Ltd (Midlands), in advance of their redevelopment of the site. An evaluation in 1997 (WSM 24624) had shown that the site formed part of a medieval settlement. The excavation substantially confirmed this interpretation, showing that the site was founded in the 11th or early 12th century as a large ditched enclosure that was divided by gullies into smaller plots, some of which contained small timber buildings. These remains were associated with a significant amount of pottery, and smaller amounts of building materials, iron slag and cereal grains. Taken together, the archaeological evidence suggests that the site was a long-lived establishment of mixed domestic and agrarian character. From documentary study, it appears that the site formed part of a manorial centre at the west end of Church Lane which began as a home farm with a hall and church, and developed into a monastic grange. The site was probably occupied by full-time manorial servants and abandoned in a re-structuring of the grange in the late 14th or early 15th century. Around 1442, the site was leased as open land, and it remained substantially open until the 20th century, although a large holloway and pond were present by the 18th century. Taken together, the results of the investigations represent an important contribution to the history of Hallow and have significant implications for research into medieval and later settlements in Worcestershire.
