Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Masonic Rooms, Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire (NGR SO 59461 68280). It was commissioned by the client, Mr Rod Owens, in advance of a proposed extension to the existing building. This project was commissioned in response to a condition placed on a planning application submitted to Malvern District Council. The site is located in the historic core of the market town of Tenbury Wells. The excavation of one area measuring c.243m2 was monitored, comprising the groundworks for the proposed extension and associated car parking facilities. A number of features of post-medieval date were found in the northeast end of the site, consisting of a drain, seven postholes, and the remains of a wall. These features likely relate to 18th to 19th century use of the land as a garden and yard area for the building, and likely relate to outbuildings and animal housing. One sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the site, but no other evidence of medieval activity was recorded. |
