Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) on 26th April
2021 at Oak House, Drury Lane, Martin Hussingtree (NGR SO 88219 60193). This comprised
observation of a single C-shaped trench to accommodate foundations for the construction of an
orangery, adjacent to Oak House. The project was commissioned by Elwood Heritage. Planning
permission was granted by Wychavon District Council subject to a programme of archaeological
works (planning reference 20/02306/HP).
The archaeological advisor to Wychavon DC considered that the development had the potential to
impact upon heritage assets associated with the 16th century farmstead of Martin Hall Farm, in which
Oak House is situated. A building record and watching brief were considered appropriate mitigation
works. This report sets out the results of the watching brief element; the building record was
undertaken by Elmwood Heritage.
The watching brief identified two brick walls abutting Oak House which are thought to be part of an
east-west extension to the building depicted on the 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey map. Two fills
identified within this structure result from the demolition and levelling of this extension after 1903. |
