Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and excavation was undertaken at Fryerning Hall. The house originated in the 15th century and has been much altered since. No remains of medieval or earlier date were identified. The farmyard associated with the property includes a 13th century barn located 60m north of the 15th century house. As this barn is likely to have been at the heart of the medieval farm complex it is probable that other contemporary buildings/remains were located closer to the barn rather than near the present hall. The earliest recorded remains within the house consist of tile and brick foundations of possible 15th and 16th century date. Two small brick structures recorded within the Breakfast Room may have been part of the foundations for a 17th century fireplace. Also within this room were three undated layers, one contained coal and charcoal and was probably associated with the adjacent fireplace. A linear tile and mortar deposit of possible later post-medieval date may have supported a floor beam. Extending beneath the floor in the Dining Room, Drawing Room and Hall was a brick and tile-lined drain of late 17th or 18th century date. This started in the corner of the Dining Room and appeared to exit the building via the Drawing Room. Externally one pit of late 15th or 16th century date was recorded in a soakaway to the west of the house and in the yard to the north a brick rubble foundation deposit was noted adjacent to a 19th century outbuilding |
