Abstract:		 Mr J A Fishwick submitted a planning application (SL/2014/0701) to South Lakeland District Council to create a crematorium with associated landscaping and car park with access road off the A6 on land to the east of the current Grade II listed Beetham Hall Farm, Beetham, Milnthorpe, Cumbria (NGR SD 4996 7907). Beetham Hall dates from the thirteenth century (Historic Environment record no. 2518) and part of the site is also a Scheduled Monument (list entry number 1007143). As a condition of planning consent, a geophysical survey was recommended by Cumbria Historic Environment Service (CHES) to evaluate the potential for archaeological remains associated with Beetham Hall. Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) were commissioned by HM Architecture on behalf of Mr Fishwick to undertake the programme of geophysical survey, which was carried out during February and March 2016, when the ground conditions were wet. Beetham Hall is a fortified house which was owned by the de Bethum family from the early thirteenth to late fifteenth century. A survey of 1354 referred to 'the Hall of Bethum with other houses within the court', suggesting some form of defensible enclosure Following the War of the Roses, Beetham passed on to the Middleton family and then to the Earl of Derby. The house was left partly in ruins following a siege during the English Civil War in either 1644 or 1651.
