Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains and the level of impact on the surrounding Listed Buildings a development at The Builder's Yard, Islip, Oxfordshire (NGR SP 52657 14153) would have. The proposal site is located within the middle of buildings with the Grade I Church of St. Nicholas on the south side and the Grade II Red Lion Inn on the southeast corner. The research for the report consisted of a search of the Oxfordshire Historic Environment Records, examination of cartographic sources and a site visit. The earliest activity within the Islip area is dated to the Prehistoric period, with several records of Mesolithic and Neolithic flints and Bronze Age enclosure. Although it appears that the level of activity decreased during the Iron Age, it is still present and is continued through to the end of the Roman period, with the establishment of a Roman villa. The activity dated from the Prehistoric period to the Roman period is centred to the south of the village with the Prehistoric sites mainly along the River Cherwell and River Ray banks. The majority of the activity within Islip village is dated from the medieval period onwards, including the establishment of the church of St. Nicholas in the 12th century and possibly late 11th century. As the village developed it became a way point along the road from London to Worcester, and a series of Inns and Coach Houses were established, including the Post-medieval Red Lion Inn. Several of the buildings are still standing within the village and have now been converted into dwellings. The cartographic and documentary evidence indicates that a medieval chapel referred to as the King's Chapel was located within the proposal site. As a result, any groundwork's within the proposal site could reveal the remains of the chapel that was demolished in the 1780s. |
