Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bell Cornwell on behalf of Bishop Wordsworth's School to carry out a programme of historic building recording and archaeological watching brief on the west boundary wall at Bishop Wordsworth's School, Exeter Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2ED. The wall is a Grade II listed building named 'WALL RUNNING NORTH OF LODGE, PARALLEL WITH ROAD'. The recording occurred prior to and during construction of a new emergency access in March and October 2019 respectively. The list entry dates the wall to the late 16th century. The lower part of the wall is constructed of a mix of stone rubble, flint and red brick with some occasional tile. Probably in the later 18th or early 19th century the wall was raised, and an opening infilled leaving a narrow pedestrian doorway. The new emergency access reinstates the width of the earlier opening. There is evidence that indicates the wall terminals of the new emergency access were rebuilt prior to the raising and infilling of the wall, but no earlier than the 18th century. The brick lacing courses to the north of the entrance may indicate that this section of wall was also wholly or substantially rebuilt at this time, perhaps in the earlier part of the 18th century. Conversely, the absence of brick lacing to the south suggests this part of the wall was probably repaired rather than rebuilt and thus largely survives from an earlier, possibly late 16th century date. |
