Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a single detached dwelling at Lychgate House, Mongewell Park, Oxfordshire (NGR SU 61098 87906). The watching brief was successful in recording the remains of Mongewell Rectory, a substantial post-medieval building. Archaeological evidence indicates that prior to the construction of the rectory the area was under cultivation, while finds of Romano British pottery from this cultivation soil suggest activity nearby. No medieval remains were identified, suggesting that the medieval rectory was located elsewhere, however three pieces of worked stone likely to date to the 12th to 14th centuries may have come from this building. The post medieval rectory was built in the mid to late 17th century. The structure appears to have been almost entirely rebuilt in the 1770s under the direction of Dr Robert Price, the rector at the time. In the mid to late 19th century the house saw further additions to the south east before being demolished in the mid-20th century. |
