Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains in the area of the Vicarage at Pill, Station Road, North Somerset (ST 5234 7596). Though there is no evidence as yet for Prehistoric or Roman activity, there is enough evidence from the historical textual sources to indicate that Pill had become a settlement by the 12th century AD. The extent and location of this settlement under the present settlement is unknown. The major industry of this settlement was ceramic production, the settlement was called Crewkerne Pill, the potters' pill, and the important medieval pottery of Ham Green ware was located in this area. The church of Saint Augustine in Bristol through other churches had major land-holdings in the area, some of which were connected with the pottery industry. The Lodway is the location of an ancient track-way of an unknown date, but certainly in use in the medieval period, the site fronts onto this road. The settlement of Pill in the 16th and 17th century is known to have extended up the Lodway towards Easton-in-Gordano. In the 19th century the area was the location of Heywood Hall and its formal gardens. |
