Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was conducted for Barron and Smith ahead of re-development of the Former White House School, 161 Finchampstead Road, Wokingham in Berkshire. Very little archaeological activity has been recorded in the vicinity of the development site. There is early artefactual evidence which takes the form of a very small amount of prehistoric worked flint and, a single piece of pottery (which could have been Roman or medieval) and the rest of the recorded evidence is of the post-medieval and modern periods. The school site itself is located within the Eastheath suburb of Wokingham, historically within the manor of Evendons, which gives its name to the road on which the school lies. The site is also partly located within East Heath, close to the common edge. The Victorian school building was previously known as 'Eastheath Lodge', and appears to have become the 'White House' between 1900 and 1911 (according to Ordnance Survey mapping). The building is not listed and has not been analysed in detail within this report. |
