Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Stephen Whettem Architects on behalf of Warm Welcome Hotels to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation consisting of hand-dug Test Pits to assess the survival of below ground remains related to Tavistock Abbey, at the Bedford Hotel, in Tavistock, Devon. The remains of the Abbey are a Scheduled Monument (SM No 29679). The evaluation was required in order to support an application for Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) for the erection of a proposed new function room and lift installation for the Bedford Hotel. The Bedford Hotel is a Grade II Listed Building situated in the centre of Tavistock. The hotel buildings incorporate significant fragments of buildings by architects Wyattville and Foulston, as well as some medieval fabric remaining from the dissolved Benedictine monastery, Tavistock Abbey. The building elements are variously Listed Grades 1 and 2 and the whole hotel complex falls within the boundary of the Tavistock Abbey Scheduled Monument. The hotel proposes to construct a new function room. Designs are complete and Town Planning and Listed Building consents have been obtained. As the supporting columns of the function room are founded on six piles and these piles will impact on the Scheduled Monument, Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) is also being sought. In a second location, a lift is proposed to create wheelchair access and the foundations of this installation will also break the ground of the Scheduled Monument. English Heritage required a total of seven hand-dug trial holes in order to evaluate the presence of any archaeological remains within the impact areas in support of the SMC application.
