Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a desk-based appraisal and heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for Bisham Abbey, Bisham, Maidenhead and Windsor, Berkshire, carried out on behalf of Kirsty Lodge of Aardvark EM Ltd. (the Agent) for the National Sports Centre at Bisham, Abbey in advance of the installation to two new water irrigation tanks. The high-value complex at Bisham Abbey includes a range of medieval and post-medieval structures standing within a Scheduled monastic precinct. Granted to the Knights Templar in the 12th century, it became an Augustinian Priory in 1337. At the Dissolution it was granted to the Hoby family, whose descendants held it until c.1780, whereupon it was purchased by the Anglo-Dutch Vansittart family. They held the manor until the 1960s, and lent the Abbey and grounds to the forerunner of the National Sports Council in memory of two sons killed in WWII. At the core of the extant Abbey is the 13th perceptory of the Knights Templar, but the Priory buildings were demolished following the Dissolution; they have not been located but are presumed to lie beneath the lawns north of the House. A range of service buildings were built to the south during the early post-medieval period, and the whole complex was surrounded by a moat. The archaeological potential of the wider landscape is also considered to be high, with evidence for Prehistoric and Romano-British remains within 1km. The proposed development consists of the installation of two water tanks within an existing modern building. There is unlikely to be any direct effect on the buried archaeological resource, unless deep groundworks are carried out, in which case archaeological monitoring and recording may be required. The effect on the setting of the high-value heritage assets in the local area will be extremely restricted. On that basis, the impact of the development is assessed as neutral to negligible.
