The plant continued to be used as a bottling store until the 1920's when the brewery was demolished.

An archaeological observation in 2004 located remains of a greenhouse and the Stabling and Cart Shed building belonging to the brewery.

The tower was reconstructed c1310, the nave and N aisle widened and rebuilt c1320 and the S aisle rebuilt by 1331. The next period of extensive alteration was in the late 15th century; the chancel was rebuilt, as were the clearstorey and W end of the nave, into which the great W window was inserted. The N porch was added probably at this time. The stone spire was built by William Hiorn of Warwick in 1763 and is said to have replaced a wooden spire. There was a building, removed in 1799, N of the chancel resembling somewhat the chapels still existing at Solihull Church. It was of two or three storeys, the lowest being vaulted and half below ground, and it became known as the Charnel House from the subsequent usage of the crypt. The chamber above may well have been a vestry or sacristy. The chancel screen of c1500 and the original stalls and desks in the chancel survive. Monument of William Shakespeare (d 1616). The Lady Chapel at the E end of the N aisle became the burial place of the Clopton family and contains eight monuments, the earliest of 1496. <3> Photographs of the Nave, Chancel and of some of the Misericords. <4> The S aisle is connected with the foundation of a college by John de Stratford, later Bishop of Winchester, in 1331 and has its original ceiling with bosses.

There is a large central porch.","<1> A stable building was built against the curtain wall in the 14th or 15th century. It was shorter and less wide than the surviving structure. <2> Tree ring analysis could suggest construction of the present roof structure in, or soon after AD 1659-84, using timbers from the original roof (AD 1543-68), and also giving evidence of modification/repair in AD 1613-38 and AD 1623-48. At least one timber of late 17th/early 18th century has also been identified within the roof timbers, possibly representing a later repair. <3> Further report on tree ring dating. Forty unprovenanced timbers removed from the stables in the early 1980s were assessed for dendrochronological potential. Six datable samples were taken. At least two phases of construction were indentified, the earliest consisting of three trees producing termini post quem dates of after AD1479, after AD1531 and after AD1539. These may date to the assumed date of construction of the stables by Lord Leicester in AD 1571. The second phase is represented by two timbers producing a felling date range of AD 1675-1707, and a possible felling date range of AD 1654-86. It is possible that these may relate to repairs to the stables resulting from damage sustained during the Civil War. <4> The stables are built against the eastern curtain wall of the castle that dates from the reign of King John (1199-1216), but with later alterations and rebuilding. Stables are first mentioned in accounts of 153-2 and again in a list of 1539-40, but the location is not stated. The construction of the stabhles has, until recently, been attributed to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, builder of the nearby Leicester's buildings and the northern gatehouse. However, a survey of the castle of c.1563, known as the Chirk Survey states that the stables were built by the Duke of Northumberland, the father of Robert Dudley and owner of the castle between 1549 and 1553. This is supported by the tree-ring dating referred to in <2> and <3>. The Chirk survey gives measurements that are 4.9m shorter than both the length of the stables today and that shown on a map of 1656. It has been suggested that, perhaps during work by Leicester on the stables, the northern end was reduced in length. The survey also suggests a hay-loft. <5> Work carried out in and around the former stable block, recorded numerous archaeological features and layers both inside and outside the building. The offset foundations of the porch were exposed and may suggest that this is an addition to the main building, perhaps part of the Earl of Leicester’s work carried out on the castle during the 1570s. The foundation for the main stable wall was also exposed and contained occasional fragments of probable ecclesiastical masonry, including part of a large semi-circular step. Within the southern end of the stables the lowering of floor levels revealed several features. This included the offset foundation of the 13-century curtain wall (which forms the eastern wall of the stables) and the internal offset foundations of the stable block. Two stone-lined drains, which ran parallel to the main axis of the building, were also uncovered in several places along with the remains of stone floors. The drains contained occasional fragments of re-used window tracery, which either came from the ruins of Kenilworth Abbey or, perhaps more likely, from the chapel which lies immediately outside the stables. Some of the features had been exposed during the large-scale excavations which had been carried out within the stables between 1976 and 1984. Elements of the same features were also exposed which had not been recorded during the earlier excavations. Adjacent to the east wall two roughly square stone foundations seemed likely to be 17th- century or later, but their function remains uncertain. Occasional residual sherds of 13th- to 16th- century pottery were found, but the largest group dated to the first half of the 17th century and may attest to the Civil War garrisoning of the castle. A pistol ball found within a later fill of the eastern stone drain is likely to belong to the same period. Large fragments of plaster with lath marks on their rear surfaces might suggest internal partitions at the southern end of the stables, most likely on a now vanished upper floor. Finds also included a bone tuning peg from a stringed musical instrument of probable 14th- to 17th- century date. At the north end of the building a service trench revealed evidence for the refacing of the interior of the curtain wall, possibly occurring when the current stables were built. The two stone drains were again exposed along with part of the stone moulding around the existing doorway. The lower portion of the internal face of the stable walls, that which was likely to be covered over by the construction of new floors, was also drawn. No major discoveries were made but it did seem likely that the main western wall of the stables had not been substantially altered since it was built. Occasional mason’s marks were noted. Outside of the building several small sections of service trench were dug. One of these uncovered a sandstone foundation of probable medieval date. It did not appear to be part of either the medieval chapel or the stables and probably pre–dates both. Just to the east of this wall a brick-lined well or cistern was uncovered. This still held water and seemed most likely to date from the later 18th century. A gas pipe trench was also excavated from the northern boundary wall of the castle, past Leicester’s gatehouse and across the Outer Court to the northern end of the stables. To the north of the line of the curtain wall little significant archaeology was exposed, two small sandstone features possibly being the remains of a post-medieval farm building associated with the former Castle Farm. The curtain wall was exposed at two places on its expected alignment and at a very shallow depth below the current ground surface. A short distance south of this another wall was exposed, almost certainly part of a medieval building backing on to the curtain wall. It is just possible that this could be part of the ‘constabulls lodging’, referred to in a survey of circa 1563. A further sandstone feature, possibly a drain, just to the south of this wall is likely to be associated with it.

It is visible as an earthwork and is located 200 north of Alderhanger wood.","<2> Mound, situated in a stream valley at the foot of a gradual SE facing slope. Overall diameter 38m; maximum height 4.2m. The near-circular level summit is 18m in diameter. On the W side there is a ditch with an average depth of 2m. The mound has probably been partly constructed with material from the ditch. It is under grass and in an excellent state of preservation apart from some slumping on the SE side. Discovered during field investigation and surveyed at 1:2500. Although clearly of Medieval date the mound is difficult to classify. Its slopes are less steep than one would expect and its situation, overlooked by higher ground to the NW, is not typical. The existing road which crosses the valley just E of the mound runs on a considerable embankment which could have retained a large pond or lake. However it appears that at the present height of the embankment the water level could not have been high enough to flood the ditch on the W side of the mound and it is therefore unlikely to have been an island of the type which often occurs in Medieval fishponds. In any case the depth of water would be unusually great for a Medieval fishpond. It is possible that it was a form of moated site with water on the E and a dry ditch on the W but the habitable area would be small and its shape is not typical. However it is comparable in situation with two other sites. The first is a small roughly circular moated site on the edge of Tony Park, Staffordshire (SJ8106) which, however, is much lower (about 1m high). The other is described by Aston and Monton (SP07SW4) as a flat platform on the valley side, almost completely moated, which they thought might have been a Medieval grange or a place of recreation for the abbots of Bordesley. Unfortunately this site has now been destroyed and no direct comparisons can be made.

The site shows on aerial photographs as a series of intersecting rectangular enclosures covering about 3.7 ha.

There appear to have been three closely related periods dated by pottery in ditches from the end of 1st century AD to the beginning of 3rd century. No traces of buildings were found in the area under excavation apart from a quantity of burnt stone in the ditches which may have supported a timber construction in this loose soil. The ditches were in most cases V-shaped and some appear to have supported timbers which were subsequently removed. There were no finds except pottery, leading to the conclusion that this was a poor settlement of early Roman date having a comparatively short period of existence. <2> Initially two 0.9m trenches were cut at right angles to each other to locate crop marks. The first trench revealed a single ditch with early Romano British pottery at its W end. The second trench ran N-S and revealed a series of ditches. An area 20 x 25m was cleared mechanically and ditches were excavated to examine construction, dating evidence and sequence. A S double ditch was found and traced outside the stripped area by trenching. At its W end this joined with the N-S ditch found in Trench 1. Another double ditch was found to the N of this ditch. The N ditch of this double ditch had a trench cut into its lip, which may have held timbers for a revettment. This double ditch was part of an enclosure, two sides of which were located and the enclosure shown to be about 21 x 21m. Two further enclosures were examined. A large circular shallow ditch, a drainage ditch, various pits and a semicircular feature were found. The following sequence is suggested: 1. Prehistoric (Bronze Age?) - a small ditch to the N of the site with sherds and flints (PRN 5169). 2. Romano British - the circular and semicircular feature. Diameter of circular feature at 18m is too large for a house and it may have been a stockade for animals. 3. A double ditched enclosure 21 by 21m. 4. A single ditch and double ditch at right angles to each other cut across the site. The life of the complex was probably quite short.

The southeast of the grounds of the factory borders upon Ryton-on-Dunsmore. The factory was originally constructed to build aircraft engines for World War II. After the war it became the headquarters of the Rootes Group, but when Rootes entered financial difficulties in the 1960's the plant was taken over by Chrysler, an American car manufacturer . Chrysler itself entered financial difficulties and sold the plant for a symbolic $1.00 to Peugeot in 1978; although, PSA Peugeot Citroën acquired all its debt in the process. In January 1986, the first Peugeot was made at Ryton – the 309 and the 405 followed two years later. The 309's successor, the 306, was made at Ryton from 1993 to 2001. The 206 has been made there since 1998, and the 206 SW has been made at Ryton since 2002. The plant has only made vehicles from the 206 range since 2001, in both RHD and LHD configurations and currently is the sole production facility of RHD Peugeot 206s (excluding the CC). Despite this most Peugeot 206s are produced in France. The factory is small in relation to other car plants with a work force of around 2,500 people; the plant's weekly output is equivalent to that produced in a day at some of Peugeot's larger French factories. Because of its size, the facility has to make the most of the available space and machinery is located overhead; it is exceptionally compact. On April 18, 2006 Jean-Martin Folz, the chief executive of Peugeot Citroën, visited the plant and announced its closure. PSA had previously said that labour costs per unit are higher at Ryton than in mainland Europe. Beginning July 2006 production was slowed by moving from two shifts per day to one. It was originally planned that production would cease in mid 2007, but in October 2006 the closure of the factory was brought forward, because many of the workers had already left. PSA Peugeot Citroën produced their last car at the plant on 2006-12-12. The closure of the plant is expected to be complete in January 2007 with the loss of about 2,300 jobs.[2] The 206 will continue to be made in Slovakia. <2> The Ryton factory was built in 1939 and manufactured aero engines in support of the war effort. The site was converted to a car factory in 1946 when the Rootes Group, comprising Hillman, Humber, Sunbeam and Talbot, started producing the Sunbeam-Talbot. In 1948 the Humber Pullman, Humber Snipe and Humber Super Snipe were transferred from Stoke to Ryton, while in the same year Hillman and Sunbeam-Talbot models were all launched. Between 1952 and 1962 production at Ryton was dominated by the Hillman Pullman, Hawk, Husky and Super series, along with the Hillman Minx. By 1961 Rootes was in financial trouble and in 1964 Chrysler Europe was formed by the purchase of the English Rootes Group. Over the next five years Ryton lost the Hillman Super Minx for the new-generation Hillman Hunter, while the last incarnations of the Humber Hawk and Super Snipe Series came and went, as did the Sunbeam Alpine V. The Hillman Minx and Humber Sceptre were both replaced by new Arrow versions. The last Singers, the Vogue and Gazelle, lasted until 1970 when they were replaced by the Sunbeam Rapier and Vogue. In 1967, Ryton became part of the Chrysler Europe operation and Chrysler took financial control. 1969 saw the launch of the Avenger, the first car to be built in the Body in White at Ryton. The same year saw the 150,000th Hunter family car built at Ryton but almost immediately afterwards, Hunter production moved to Linwood in Scotland, along with the Humber Sceptre and Hillman Minx. In 1970, having posted a loss of some £10 million, Rootes Motors ceased to exist, becoming Chrysler UK. Ryton got a new bodyshop and paintshop. The 100,000th Hillman Avenger was built in 1971, but production of the Avenger was switched to Scotland in 1977 and the Hillman name was killed off. In 1978 Hunter production ceased and Chrysler sold out completely to Peugeot of France, with Ryton changing its name to Talbot Motor Company. The Hunter tooling business was sold to Iran and the car was renamed the Pekan. In 1980 the first Talbot Horizons were built in the UK, while five years later the first British-built Peugeot was produced at Ryton. For the rest of the 1980s Ryton built the 309 and 405 models, later ceasing in favour of the 306 in 1993. Production of the 306 ended at Ryton in 1999 and since then it has only made vehicles from the 206 range.","MWA12126","Ryton on Dunsmore, Rugby, Warwickshire","PAR","Building","CAR FACTORY, AIRCRAFT ENGINE FACTORY","","SP 37810 74357" "12127","Early Neolithic flint found at Oversley.","FS","Flints from the early Neolithic period found in pits or hollows of overturned trees during an evaluation at Oversley Mill Services.","<1> Three worked flints found in pits during an evaluation. <2> A few, possibly natural tree-throw pits contained flintwork of the early Neolithic period.","MWA12127","Alcester, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Find Spot","FINDSPOT","","SP 08531 56146" "12128","Possible undated enclosure cropmark","MON","Possible enclosure of unknown date is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs.

It preserves most of the original chancel walls, a fine chancel arch, and a much restored doorway now in the S wall. 15th century W tower built almost wholly S of the original axis of the nave. For some unknown reason the nave N wall was subsequently removed and the present N wall erected, perhaps in the late 16th century, some 1.5 or 1.8m within the position of the old wall, encroaching directly on the N respond of the chancel arch. Possibly this reduction in width of the nave was to provide a smaller span for the roof. The chancel lost its original vaulting and the nave, which probably had a range of upper windows, was reduced in height. The lower part of the S wall does not appear to have been much disturbed but the doorway is set in a greater thickness than the wall and it is probable that it was originally in a thick W wall and was reset by the builder of the tower.

The castle takes the form of a motte and bailey plus ringworks. It is visible as an earthwork and is known from documentary evidence. It is situated 400m east of Henley in Arden.","<1> Remains of earthworks on a steep hill called 'The Mount', which forms a promontory. The site is by nature strong and commanding. The extant remains consist of a flat-topped oval artificial mound surrounded by a ditch covering about 0.83 ha; a raised bank of earth crossing the ditch to the SW connects this moated 'keep' with its accompanying courtyard. 82m from this entrance another ditch runs across the flat top of the hill and possibly divided an outer from an inner courtyard. The defences which formerly encircled these courts have gradually been demolished and the ditches filled. <2> Hardly anything is known of its architectural history. It existed by c1140, but its importance probably declined when the de Montfort estates passed to the Earl of Warwick c1369. An account roll of 1411 mentions repairs to the castle, but there is no mention in 1547, by which time it is presumed to have fallen into ruin. <3> It has been suggested that the earthworks have a prehistoric origin, but this is unlikely. At the E end of the enclosed area children have scrambled up and down the steep sides and some stones and a few fragments of roof tile have been exposed. From this it would appear that the top was surrounded by a stone wall set some 1.8 to 2.6m back from the present edge. In three places there are slight circular depressions about 3m across, possibly the sites of towers, and another larger depression well within the enclosure could be the site of an isolated tower or keep. A further detailed account of the earthworks is given. It was probably erected by Thurstane de Montfort and was also occupied by Peter de Montfort. <4> A castle mound with a double bailey to the SW. The ditch between the two baileys has been mutilated by the insertion of a buried observation post. Access to the castle was by a terraced way from the S into the inner court through an inturned entrance. <6> Scheduled as Warwickshire Monument No. 52. <7> In 1840 a piece of 13th century or 14th century moulded capital was found. <10> The scheduled area around the castle has now been revised and extended as SM 21510. <11> The Manor of Beaudesert and Henley in Arden were held by the Montfort family in the twelfth, thirteenth and into the fourteenth centuries. In the late fourteenth century, the manors passed to the Beauchamp family. In 1410, part of the manor of Beaudesert, and the borough of Henley in Arden, were joined to form one manor which passed to the Botleler family. The Vill of Henley in Arden appears to have developed as the trading centre for Beaudesert; Henley in Arden is less than one mile west of Beaudesert.

It date s from the Post-Medieval to the Imperial period.","<1> Valley Farm. A farmhouse with attached agricultural buildings, dating from the early 18th century with additions in the early 19th century. The original early 18th century building has a single storey and attic, and three bays, part square timber frame with replacement brick infill; a further rendered two-storey bay to the north dates from the early 19th century together with a single storey gabled extension to the south, of brick. The roof is of plain clay tile. The building is rectangular on plan, a simple single-depth range; the two northernmost bays form the farmhouse; the central bay was formerly used as a cow byre; and the final bay, together with the single-storey extension to the south, is agricultural storage. The exterior of the farmhouse. The western elevation is the entrance front; the three central bays have the remains of square panel timber framing with later brick infill in a mixture of bonds. The fenestration is irregular and includes a single dormer to the lower bay of the house, and rooflights to the agricultural portion of the building. In addition to the door to the house, a further door has been introduced to the former dairy. The single storey extension to the south has a decorative gable with dentiled verges and kneelers built in brick; there are two segment-headed window openings to the gable end, one now blocked, the other partially so. The rear (eastern) elevation also retains some of its timber framing; the framing is set more closely than on the main elevation, but there is similar irregular brick infill of various dates. There are double barn doors to the single storey extension, a stable door to the former cow byre and an entrance door to the lower bay of the house. The fenestration, all on the ground floor, is irregular. The interior of the farmhouse consist of two bays. The ground floor room of the earlier bay has a chamfered and scroll end stopped beam running north-south, and the site of a former fireplace is visible in this bay. There is a timber winder stair behind a plank and batten door at the north of this bay. The later bay extends to the north, and has a single chamfered beam with run out stops running east-west, with a further chamfered beam across the fireplace opening at the north. There is a single room above each bay, that to the earlier bay having exposed single purlins. A plank and batten door leads off the landing into the room in the later bay. The Cowshed bay is open to the roof, which exposes the entire roof structure. Trusses consist of principal rafters, crossed at the top to clasp the diagonally set ridge piece; a tie beam and collar; and upright struts between the tie beam and collar. The single purlins rest on the outer faces of the principals, and there are diagonal braces between the purlins and the principals. Timber wall framing is visible in the interior. The Storage bay has similar roof structure to the cowshed, and some exposed timber framing to the east wall. To the ground floor, the room has been divided across its width to provide a narrow dairy, accessed from the west, and a storage room to the east. An inserted 19th century floor divides the bay horizontally, and the upper floor is accessed via a timber, open-tread stair. A 19th or early 20th century fireplace and stack have been removed from the first floor room. The applicant helpfully provided the results of his extensive documentary research into the history of the former Manor of Stockingford, now part of the Borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth. The most relevant documents are: 1) a 1690 survey of the lands owned by the Lord of the Manor of Stockingford, Sir Willoughby Aston; 2) a 1746 survey for Lord Paget, the Earl of Uxbridge, 3) the 1841 Census; and 4) the 1842 tithe map and apportionment. The 1690 document implies that the land had already been enclosed and divided by this date, and the applicant therefore concludes that the present farmhouse dates from the 17th century, though no mention is made specifically of the building. Similarly, the 1746 document contains no mention of the house, though the plot is recorded as being leased out and with a tenant in place, which implies that it was a steading by this time. The farmhouse was definitely present by 1841, when it was in the holding of Thomas Parker, farmer, and the 1842 tithe map shows the building in its current form, together with the L-shaped outbuildings still present on the site. Stylistically, the building appears to date largely from the early 18th century, with a single bay to the north, now part of the habited area, having been added in the early 19th century, and a single-storey bay to the south from the same date. This is supported by the documentary evidence submitted by the applicant. The historic Ordinance Survey map series shows no changes to the footprint of the building during the period 1887-1914 other than the removal of a lean-to structure against the north wall, and the addition of another lean-to to the east, which has only recently been removed.","MWA12424","Nuneaton and Bedworth, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Warwickshire","PAR","Building","FARMHOUSE, COW HOUSE","","SP 31846 91861" "12425","Grange Lane, an Ancient Lane, Galley Common","MON","Grange Lane, now a footpath, is the route of an ancient lane, dating from the 17th century.

The spring was covered with a wooden building with thatch roof. The spring was being visited for its curative properties by 1800, but it was not until the 1840s that proposals were put forward to develop it into a fashionable inland resort. A building replaced the rudimentary sheds in 1831 and a syndicate of four Stratford gentlemen bought the site in 1834 and began to erect a modern pump room, baths and hotel. They acquired a new favourable analysis of the waters and the spa was launched with great euphoria in 1837. Speculative plans for developing the area S and E of the spa were initiated in the 1830s. Roads and drives were laid out and a church built (PRN 5304). However, a number of building plots did not find purchasers and in 1855 most of the area was sold off as agricultural land. The spa buildings were reopened in 1868, but were not sold when offered for sale.

A prior and one monk were the only inhabitants. In 1398 Richard II gave the priory to the Carthusians at Coventry, the grant was soon reversed by Henry IV. It was bestowed with all its possessions in 1443 upon the Provost and Scholars of Kings College, Cambridge, and in 1447 the Abbey of Couches released all title to the priory of the College, in whose hands the manor still remains. No trace is left of the priory buildings but they are known to have stood between the churchyard and the ancient fishpool which lies near the Henley Road. The supposed site shows much disturbance, probably as a result of robbery. The ancient fishpool has been filled. In 1963 stone foundations and two skeletons were uncovered during grave digging.

Commencing initially in Long Itchington parish, the workings extended into Stockton parish in 1900 and into Southam parish glebe lands a few years later. <2> There were three works in the area during the early 19th century all under separate owners. The earliest was that of Richard Greaves of Stratford-upon-Avon and J Kirshaw of Warwick who traded as Greaves and Kirshaw. They started manufacturing cement at the Stockton Works in 1840, followed by a second works at Harbury in 1858. The second cement works was that of Tatham and William Oldham who started lime and cement making at Southam from about 1854 to early this century, later trading as Kayes and Co until closing down in the 1930's before being taken over by the Rugby Portland Cement Co Ltd who still operate the works. The third and largest company was that of George Nelson whose lime and cement works was established about 1844. Soon after George Nelson's death in 1850 his son Charles took over the lime business and by about 1860 had expanded into the production of Portland cement. There was also a small works in Leamington Spa. The company operated a fleet of narrow boats and in 1870 a dock was built at Stockton for their repair. Initially production was concentrated in a small bank of kilns near the main line of the canal (GR 44 65). The remains of one kiln may still be seen from the canal towpath. Later production became centred on the canal arm, and by the 1930's there existed a substantial and modern works (GR 44 64).

The land possibly still belonged to the Hospitallers in 1529. After 1481 the property is always recorded as a manor and in the Post Medieval period a manor house called 'The Temple' existed on the site (PRN 6255). <2> 1967: An excavation on the possible site of the Templars' manor. Scattered traces were found of timbered farm buildings probably Medieval in date but there was no sign of any dwelling house. <3> 1970: An area of 1000 sq yards was stripped in the search for the former Manor House of the Knights Templars. A timber-framed building was found erected on an area artificially levelled. The building comprised three bays and was 6.7m by about 14.6m. It had a circular oven in its SW corner and two fireplaces at its E end. Several reused blocks of dressed red sandstone and three pieces of moulded white limestone from doors and windows were reused in the building. A paved yard lay to the N and E and a small building, probably a drying kiln, was also found. All the structures date to after 1314. The presence of roofing slates, fragments of decorated floor tile and large quantities of 13th century pottery in rubble beneath the timber building indicates that a substantial structure had been destroyed or drastically modified before the 14th century building was constructed. The exact location of the Templars' manor house is still uncertain. <4> Map. <5> Archaeological fieldwork was undertaken in order to re-locate and record the medieval site, previously part-excavated in 1970. The excavation recorded deposits dating from the 13th to 17th centuries, which appeared to survive as ‘islands’ in an otherwise heavily disturbed area. The remains of the medieval building discovered in 1970 were identified. This appeared to have been occupied during the 15th to 17th centuries but incorporated earlier building stone. It was interpreted as a domestic dwelling. Rubbish pits beneath the building dated to the 13th century and contained an important assemblage of pottery. Elsewhere across the exposed area was a spread of medieval building rubble, which was considered to be of 13th century origin. <6>The land is known from documentary sources to have been within the demesnes of the monastic military order of the Knight Templars between 1185 and 1314 and subsiquently the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, until the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1540. The lans formed part of the manorial estate of Chilverscoton and was used for farming purposes. During this time buildings on the site included a hall, chapel, granary and several other agricultural buildings. <7> Analysis of field names and land conveyances proves that the 1567 document refers to a site centred at SP353898.

They were found in 1980 in a drainage trench 30m from and parallel to the A5 south of Mancetter. Although site visits were made, it has not been possible to identify the exact location of the burial. The burial consisted of fragments of a wide necked grey ware jar, c. 2nd century AD.; eight fragments cremated bone, a length of lead pipe 49cm long with a deliberately hammered over end, an iron nail and several nail holes, indicating a perishable cover; and a small glass bottle. <2> March 1980: Machine excavations for field drains uncovered a small intact bluish-green jar, 110mm high with rim diameter varying from 54-56mm. This jar contained fragments of burnt human bone, probably of a young adult. A large piece of lead pipe, maximum length c492mm was also found. <3> The glass of the jar is a pale bluish-green in colour; vessels of this type were probably not being made much after AD 125-30. Close parallels from Mancetter are not forthcoming and the vessel seems unlikely to have been made there. The occurrence of the pipe suggests a comparison with the small number of 'pipe burials' known from Roman Britain.

In 1906 the interior was divided up into a N (ploughed) and a S (unploughed) field. Many artefacts were found in the ploughed interior. These included Neolithic/Bronze Age finds (PRN 5456, PRN 5457) and fragments of 'Neolithic' - probably actually Iron Age - pottery. In 1824 a large hoard of 394 currency bars was found (PRN 5458).

Pottery from the occupation layer under the rampart included pottery with 'Belgic' influence. Other finds included a spindle whorl, an oblong bone dice, a bone weaving spear and a bronze object. <4> The E rampart is quite small and falls amid Medieval and later disturbance. On the SW side the ditch is visible as a slight berm. <8> The site occupies a prominent position on a natural knoll. The defensive earthworks include intermittent traces of a single rampart and a ditch that has been mostly infilled. Along the northern edge of the site, the rampart is visible as a distinctive break in slope and is thought to have been levelled by ploughing. The asssociated ditch has become infilled but it can be traced as a slight depression and will survive as a buried feature. The western edge of the site is defined by a scarp bank, marking the location of a rampart which remains visible at the northern end of the scarp. A break in the western bank is thought to be part of a drainage channel. The best preserved section of the hillfort's defences is situated along the eastern edge of the site, the ditch is visible as an 8m wide depression. The rampart is visible on the ground but in a reduced state. <9> Archaeological recording during the construction of a dwelling and garage established the position of and entrace way into the ditched enclosure. A foundation trench was hand dug through the end of the ditch, producing an assemblage of Iron Age and early Romano-British pottery.

It was first constructed in wood, but was rebuilt in stone possibly during the 12th century. It was at least partially enclosed by a moat.","<1> A castle at Warwick was begun by William I in 1068 as part of a plan to safeguard the Midlands. This castle was of the motte and bailey type and stands on a sandstone bluff overlooking a bend in the Avon where the river has cut away the rock to form a cliff. Except on this side the walls which surround the bailey are protected by a moat. The area enclosed by the walls is about 128m from NE to SW and about 82m wide. The motte, on which a keep formerly stood, forms the SW end of the enclosure, but the most formidable defences, built in the 14th century, are at the NE end. Here a central gatehouse tower with a barbican outside is connected by high curtain walls to two great angle towers. To the N are remains of 15th century fortifications. The SE side of the former bailey is occupied by the domestic buildings, which are 14th century and later in date. The castle would originally have had a wooden palisade on the bailey and motte. Timber was replaced by stone, presumably from the 12th century onwards. The modern walls on the motte incorporate probable 13th century masonry.

Documentary evidence has suggested the line for the Medieval Defences, which has been subject to excavation; in places it survives a a rock-cut ditch with eroded bedrock backfill.","<1> The fortification of Warwick was complicated by the building of a town wall, possibly placed near Ethelfleda's rampart (PRN 2191). The earth rampart was located during excavation in 1964. This consisted of a rampart inside the line of the town wall, and a ditch in places 7.6m wide and 2.7m deep cut into the sandstone. The wall was built on the top of the rock face. The date of this work is not known. According to Rous, Turchil of Arden, on orders from William the Conqueror, constructed a ditch and gates but did not build walls. Grants of murage in 1305 and 1315 are likely to have been connected with the upkeep of the wall. Outside the wall ran the 'common ditch', mentioned as early as the mid 13th century and possibly following the ditch of Ethelfleda. There were three main gates through the walls, on the N, E and W. Most of the wall had already been demolished by the early 16th century. The town ditch survived, at least in part, into the 15th century. The only remaining sections adjoin the N side of the two gatehouses, but the approximate position of the rest is indicated by the layout of streets which encircle the Old Town. Outside the line of the ditch run the street now called Bowling Green Street, Theatre Street, Joyce Pool, Chapel Street, Gerrard Street, and Mill Street. Inside the wall line are Market Street, Barrack Street and the Butts. In the neighbourhood of the castle modern changes have obscured the pattern, but formerly both Brittain Lane and Back Hills seem to have run inside the line of the walls.

By 1851 the gasworks comprised a one-storied central block with two-storeyed wings flanked by two octagonal gasometers. The gasometers, evidently dating from 1822, are treated architecturally as brick buildings.

The initial phase included the two octagonal gasometer buildings and what may have been elements of the original central gateway. The gasometer buildings were constructed of hand-made bricks with all subsequent work being in machine-made bricks. In Phase 2 wings running on either side of the central gateway were developed (by at least 1847), along with a rear courtyard. In Phase 3 (1847-51) only minor changes were made and early in Phase 4 (1851-87) the gasometers were out of use. Early in Phase 5 (1887-1976) the central gateway had been blocked by a single-storied structure and the two gasometer buildings were thus linked by a continuous structure. The gasworks themselves closed in 1953. Little further major development took place until the central singe-storied structure was raised to two stories in the 1970s (Phase 6) and the whole of the frontage re-fenestrated to give a unified appearance.

The present country house dates to the Post Medieval period, with 20th century alterations. It is located 400m north west of Honington.","<1> Dugdale states that the original Honington estates existed in the days of Edward the Confessor, and the manor was one of those with which Earl Leofric had endowed his religious house at Coventry. <2> In 1737 the estate passed to the Townsend family, who made considerable alterations. These included the erection of a great octagonal salon and loggia: the basement of the last was retained but its colonnade was rebuilt in front of a garden house to the NW of the Hall. The main block was of simple plan, having a centre hall between side-wings which project slightly on the E front and contain the other two most important original rooms of the ground floor, the Drawing Room in the S wing and the Dining Room. The entrance to the grounds, on the N side of the village green, is of 1685. <3> The present house was built for a London merchant, Sir Henry Parker in 1668. The 18th century brickpiers have vermiculated stone dressings, moulded stone plinths and moulded stone cornices. They have entabletures with ball heads and in the friezes is applied ornament - carvings of heads between swags of drapery. The main gateway is flanked by small pedestrian gateways, the piers having stone capitals with ball heads. <4> The walls of the hall are of red brick with rusticated stone angle dressings and stone framed sash windows- the lower windos with bracketed drip stones. To the east it has a recessed 3 bay centre and slightly projecting 2 bay wings, 2 storeys and attics. The roofs are hipped and covered with slates. There are square headed dormers in the roof. The chimney stacks of brick are plain except the 18th century pair on the south wall which are paralleled. The broad doorway in the middle of the east front has side pilasters and a curved broken pediment with a coat of arms. In the east and soutn fronts, above the ground floor windows, are oval recesses containing a series of busts of Roman emperors. The Townsend family aquired Honington Hall sometime before 1731. A print by Buck dated 1730 refers to Honington as the seat of Joseph Townsend, and it is the Townsend arms which are found on the open segmental pediment above the front door. The new owner made considerable alterations and embelishments- including, in all probability, the busts of the emperors. To the left and right of the Hall are small arched and pedimented gateways into the garden. Beyond the one on the right is a brick quadrant wallwith pilasters, blank niches and a truglyph frieze. the opposite number on the left has disappeared. A richly carved door-way with an apsed hood gives access to the courtyard to the north of the house where there are two octagonal pigeoncote (WA 2141) and the rear of the early 17th century stables (WA 2142). To the north of the stables is a square building of the 16th/ early 17th century of red brick with stone dressings and a gable to each face. This is a granary known as The Bothy. The foundations of this building (Listing Grade II: No 12_144C) rest on stone staddle piers bricked in between. Another brick building of similar date is to be found 30 yards north of the Bothy. This is a regular 2 storey structure with stone angle dressings and 4 windows with moulded stone architraves and an old tiled roof with two moulded wood dormers. (Listing Grade II: No 12_144D). In 1885 a victorian wing was added to the house and restoration work was carried out during the 1970s. The west elevation shows an octagon constructed between the short projections on the west side of the house. The terrace was built during the 19th century, but the temple alongside has been in its position since the 1760s. <5> It was built for Sir Henry Parker - the Parkers were London merchants - in 1682. The date is on the rainwater head, and the E (entrance) side represents that date to perfection. The house is of brick with brown stone dressings. It has to the E a recessed three-bay centre and slightly projecting two-bay wings. Two storeys and a hipped roof. <6> Situated on rising ground above the Stour, adjacent to the church, with the main front facing E. On the N side of the front is a brick-built screen, there being two arched gateways, one on either end of the front, to allow access behind the screen. A notable feature of the house is the busts of Roman Emperors on the S and E faces. <7> Photo.","MWA2140","Honington, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","COUNTRY HOUSE, MANOR HOUSE, HOUSE","","SP 26075 42688" "2141","Honington Hall Pigeoncote","BLD","Honington Hall Dovecote, a stone building used for the breeding and housing of doves or pigeons.

From 1123, when All Saints merged with St Mary's until the dissolution, the school was run by St Mary's. Its earliest location is not known, but by the time of Rous in the 15th century, it is situated in the church of St John the Baptist ""wyche stondythe yet in the Market Styd and is now the comon Scolehous for gramarians"". The church (WA 1955), was probably converted to a schoolhouse in 1369 when it was annexed to St Mary's, and was still called ""the Scolehouse in the Market"" in an account roll of 1538-9. After the dissolution the school was purchased by the gild of the Holy Trinity and St George. In 1545 it was refounded by Henry VIII as ""the kings new Scole of Warwick"" and moved to the gildhall under the jurisdiction of the newly founded Corporation (see WA1926). Robert, Earl of Leicester, acquired the gildhall in 1571 for his hospital, offering to the corporation ""the Chapel of St Peter founded above a gate called the east gate with a piece of wasteland between the chapel and the wall"", for the school. It is doubtful whether the transfer ever took place - the school was certainly not held over Eastgate in 1615 - and may have reverted to its old home in the Church of St John. In the late 17th century, St John's perished and the school was set up in the College of Vicars Choral (see WA 2984), conveyed to the corporation in 1699. It remained at this site until 1879 when, as a result of the schools inquiry Commision, new school buildings were opened on the present site - a hide of land in Myton which had belonged to St Mary's in 1085.

Traces of an internal building survive (PRN 5268). The moat is now some 2.4 or 2.7m deep, and the bank on the outside is built up to give the necessary depth. Except for part of the W side it is now quite dry; there are several springs on the side of the hill, one of which seems to have been the means of supplying it with water. The earthworks suggest something more than an ordinary homestead moat. <3> The rectangular moat has a smaller rectangular projection on the N. The site occupies a strong natural position commanding a valley to the N. The ditch is about 4.6m wide and 3m deep from the top of the inner bank which is 0.6m to 0.9m high. At the E edge of the site the ground falls sharply away and a substantial bank has been thrown up to enable the moat to hold water from a stream rising in the SW corner. There are traces of an entrance in the centre of the S side, and the stone revetment of a bridge connecting the two enclosures can be seen. <4> The moat is at present used as a dump for old cars and a piggery. <5> Excavation in 1953 revealed a curtain wall of large ironstone blocks running along the inner edge of the ditch. This masonry is of a different type from that of the domestic buildings; this fact and the finding of pottery contemporary with that from the ruins of the buildings in the spoil-bank of the ditch may indicate that the ditch is later than the buildings that it surrounds. <9> In about 1968 the moat was deepened and widened in order to hold fish. <10> The moat and curtain wall were probably constructed in the late 13 century or early 14 century (i.e. after the buildings were erected), based on the fact that the material of the outer bank, which was obtained from the digging of the moat, contains pottery from this, the main period of occupation. It seems that the original entrance to the site was probably on the south side, although at present, the only positive evidence for this is a causeway.

In 1982 a 23m long trial trench was dug which indicated that the long mound was largely natural, but that a round cairn had been placed on top of it. Further excavation in 1983 confirmed the shape and located a central cist. The cairn is 17m in diameter and built largely of quarried limestone. The cist is built of large, heavily-weathered limestone slabs. The shape of the cairn is uncertain but the capstone is in place and it is unlikely that the cairn has been robbed. Traces of a probable funeral pyre and a child's tooth were found on the NW of the cairn. The charcoal produced a radiocarbon date of 1540 +/- 70bp. On the SW of the cairn a second cremation deposit was located. This was covered by a small mini-cairn of stone 2m long and 1.3m wide. This produced a radiocarbon date of 1420 +/- 40bc.

The barrow, before excavation, was of bowl-shaped form, about 3.9m high and 23m in diameter at the base. The sides were covered with undergrowth. A hole was opened in the E side and about 0.65m down an Anglo Saxon burial was disturbed (PRN 6001). The excavation was continued towards the centre of the barrow and traces of a cairn of large stones became apparent. 1.9 to 2m below the top of the barrow were 2 urns placed rim downwards in a cairn of loose stones. These urns were accompanied by 2 smaller urns and nearby a small bronze dagger. Also at this level were 2 small flint chippings. About 2.6m from the surface a third urn was found deposited like the others in a cist of stones and inverted over burnt bones. Nearby was another small urn inclined downwards. The natural soil was reached about 3.3m from the top of the mound. <2> Three of the urns are illustrated. <3> The barrow is 2.1m high, heavily overgrown, and without trace of a ditch.

The well-made cobbled surface suggests an adjoining yard, possibly a stable yard or demesne farm. They seem to have been replaced by the present outbuildings after 1700. There appears to be evidence for substantial landscaping around the house in the late post-medieval period, with laying of drains and general levelling. A medieval mill appears to have disappeared between 1668 and 1699, with its former pond being reused within these landscaping schemes. This evidence, coupled with evidence for parkland-type plantings in the area known in 1699 and 1848 as The Park, suggests that there was far more extensive ornamental works being undertaken at Baddesley Clinton than has previously been credited.

The site is known from documentary evidence. Some areas of the site are visible as earthworks. The site was excavated and recorded prior to redevelopment. The deserted settlement is situated 1km north west of Newton.","<1> There were six ploughlands here in 1291 and nine yardlands in the time of Richard II. The village appears to have gone when Coton House and Park were made. The Moore-Lee tracts speak of Coton as depopulated in 1656. There are suspicious earthworks surrounding the 'Castle'. <2> Medium archaelogy, no information on whether the name belongs to more than a manor. <3> 1968: There are earthworks centred at the above grid reference that are typical of desertion. No house sites were identified but there is a 'street' layout surrounded by ridge and furrow. <4> Plan of earthworks. <5> Coton, antiently a village. <6> 1969: The site is immediately adjoining the M1/M6 link. The MOT agreed to avoid the site. The farmer, however, asked sub-contractors to level the site with soil. Many hundreds of tons were dumped on the site, and although further work was stopped 'the site is no longer worth preserving'. <7> Air photograph shows the DMV during construction of the M6. <8> 1970: it was reported that attempts to persuade the farmer to leave one croft for future excavation failed and that the whole site is now levelled and destroyed. <9> Examination of recent air photographs suggests that <8> may be misleading, and that a substantial part of the site survives, possibly buried beneath overburden from construction of the M6. <10> Archaeological evaluation at the site was carried out by Thames Valley Archaeological Services, and examined the village site and its immediate environs. Only very insubstantial building remains survived, generally represented by little more than a single foundation course. The majority of the features uncovered associated with the settlement were pits and ditches. The extent of the Medieval settlement seems to have been fairly well defined. It is contained largely within the field immediately to the SE of the M6/A462 junction, although the remains of ridge and furrow in a number of trenches indicate that agricultural activity continued into at least the next field to the E. The two crop marks seen in aerial photographs of the site were examined by trial trenches. Finds suggested that both were Medieval in origin. Trench 24 located a ditch which possibly formed part of the complex of two conjoined dual enclosures, whilst the post holes and ditches seen in trenches 40 and 41 may have formed part of the rectilinear (enclosure ?) feature. <11> Spoil removed to create the M6 was dumped on the site. No coherent earthworks are presently visible. During a site visit it was noted that the soil covering the site contained few artifacts. <12>Excavation carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology as a follow up to the evaluation undertaken by TVAS (see <10>). Settlement origininated in the mid 10th century. The features defining this phase can be seen to cluster round the southern and eastern parts of the excavation.

The spot where the castle stands is well chosen for defensive purposes; it is a knoll of rock and gravel forming a headland just below the junction of two streams. Upon this strong site a mount and court fort of earth and timber was constructed. The original moated mound was probably close to John of Gaunt's Hall, or alternatively on the site of the Norman keep. The keep still encloses within its walls an artificial mount about 3 to 4.6m high. The inner ward of the later castle probably occupies the site of the courtyard and is about 0.53 ha in extent. The ground falls steeply on all sides except the E where there is a deep ditch. The early castle may have had a secondary courtyard of 3.1 ha. <2> Geoffrey de Clinton may have been the first to build here soon after 1122. It has been argued that a motte and bailey castle existed first, but for this there is no evidence.

The construction of the Pleasance required the reclamation of a thickly-overgrown area, according to a reference in chapter xi of the metrical life of King Henry V by Thomas Elmham. Although this is in a poem, it is argued that Elmham may have been an eye witness to the construction of the Pleasance, and this may be an accurate statement. 'Chapter XI. How his majesty the king kept Lent at Kenilworth Castle, and in the marsh, where foxes lurked among the brambles and thorns, built for his entertainment a pleasure garden (viridarium). It was as if he foresaw the tricks of the French against his kingdom and how he would manfully drive out these and other insidious enemies. On this site he constructed a delicious place which he caused to be called Plesant Mareys. The king is at Kenilworth over Lent where he considers what ought to be done. There was there a fox-ridden place overgrown with briars and thorns. He removes these and cleanses the site so that wild creatures are driven off. Where it had been nasty now becomes peaceful marshland; the coarse ground is sweetened with running water and the site made nice. So the king considers how to overcome the difficulties confronting his own kingdom, the achievement of which will require correspondingly greater effort. He remembers the foxy tricks of the French both in deed and in writing and is mortified by the recollection.''","MWA3218","Kenilworth, Warwick, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","PALACE, BUILDING, MOAT","","SP 26757 72492" "3219","Church of St Nicholas, Kenilworth","BLD","The church of St Nicholas was built during the Medieval period and was altered during the Imperial period.

The settlement is situated 800m north west of Newnham Hall.","<1> Undated settlement, consisting of a subrectangular enclosure and linear features, shows on aerial photographs. <2> In advance of the laying of a gas pipeline, a 20m wide section of the site was archaeologically investigated. The excavation located the enclosure ditch of a small sub-rectangular enclosure with a southern entrance and extension on the east side. The west side had been truncated by Post Medieval quarrying, which had removed up to 50% of the original extent of the enclosure at that point. Six small pits were located in the interior, each containing heat-cracked pebbles. Only the largest pit produced evidence of burning, together with a quantity of daub and burnt clay. No other features had survived within this section of the enclosure and only one small pit and two small postholes were located outside it. <3> Interim report of the above excavation. The site is provisionally interpreted as a small agricultural settlement dated by form to the Iron Age, though no dating evidence was recovered. A former stream course was revealed by excavation, and is thought to have influenced the location of the settlement. Two phases of construction of this particular enclosure are outlined, with its function in each phase apparently being to enclose domestic storage pits. Both phases were cut by a later ditch containing Iron Age pottery. Later disturbance has been caused by localised quarrying (the field is named ""Sandpit Close"" on a map of 1720), by repeated ploughing and by a previous pipeline through the site. Evidence of quarrying and the previous pipeline shows on the aerial photographs. <4> 1999 pipeline excavations to the north of the cropmark revealed a few short lengths of gully which were not directly datable but their alignemnt with the cropmark enclosure to the south suggests that they are likely to belong to the same phase. <5> 1999 pipeline excavations revealed a pit cluster probably relating to cropmark enclosure. The majority of the pits however remain undated although the presence of iron hammerscale and slag suggests that many of them could be Iron Age or more likely later. Two groups of pits may have held posts, but in no case were post-pipes evident and no structures could be recognised. Two undated gullies were also recovered at the northern end of the site.","MWA3456","Kings Newnham, Rugby, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","SETTLEMENT, ENCLOSURE, LINEAR FEATURE, PIT CLUSTER","","SP 44156 77369" "3457","Undated linear earthwork","MON","Linear earthworks of unknown date are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs.

The works occupy a strong position on a short elevated ridge. The mount, with five elm trees on its summit, is a conspicuous landmark with magnificent views. It is placed right on the line of the Fosse Way. To the W lies an inner court, defended by a rampart and ditch and beyond this is a second and larger court similarly entrenched. The entire work covers 1.8 to 2.1 ha. The mound rises 12 M from the surrounding land and is 79.2 M in diameter at base. Its top is flat and measures 15 M across. The surrounding ditch is 6 M deep and 12 M wide. The two courtyards are on slightly lower ground. Inside the ditches are remains of a rampart. There are now three entrances into the courts, but it is unlikely that any of these are original. The whole of the palisading was doubtlessly of wood. <2> Chatwin suggests that the Normans used a pre-existing mound (PRN 6009). Brinklow was given to Earl Alberic, then - after being in the King's hands - to the Earl of Mellent, then later still to Nigel de Albany. Its interest as a castle ceased at an early period.

This map also shows ""the Great Pool"" which was probably added by Capability Brown when the gardens of Combe Abbey were re-landscaped during 1770's. During the 19th century the park was well stocked with game and fish. A later map of 1823 shows the game somewhat reduced in size and in 1850 White mentions it contained 500 acres, a 90 acre sheet of water and 200 deer. The deer park was still stocked in 1908. Capability Brown is also thought to have designed the menagerie and the dog kennels. The dog kennels were built in 'folly style' as a castle wall with battlemented parapets. They were demolished in the 19th century. The menagerie was probably a multi-purpose building, primarily a hunting lodge. One section had an octagonal shaped wing with a domed roof- presumably emulating an observatory. It still exists, though in somewhat altered form. The building is now used as a private dwelling. <11> The park now contains about 390 acres and is owned by Coventry Corporation. There are no longer any deer, but the large pool is still well stocked with fish. Some of the parkland is farmed, but most of it is kept as an amenity area for the public. There are no traces of ridge and furrow in the grassy areas to the south-west of the main entrance to Combe Abbey. <12> As well as the Smite Brook, there were two ponds in the park, both probably earlier than the formation of the lake. One still exists, and is known as the Top Pool; it is now used for boating. The other lay downstream, and was at one time an arm of the lake, but has now been infilled. These may have been the medieval fishponds. Not a great deal of the 17th century landscape survives within the present park, partly on account of Brown's replanning, and partly as a consequence of modern destruction. Although the present main drive was the principle axis of the first park, and was part of a ride extending south for 1.5 miles from the cloister, the tree lines are not original, having been entirely replanted in c1900. The new Combe Park must have approached its zenith in the early 1800s, when Brown's planting began to mature. It was not long, however, before some 28 acres at the eastern extremity of the park were parcelled into fields and turned over to agriculture, and a further 27 acres were separated as pasture.

More recent excavations indicate the survival of structural remains to the south of the 1983 excavations.","<1> Trial excavations at Park House revealed over 1.5m of stratified deposits going back to the 13th century or earlier at the site of the Medieval bridge over the River Avon. Until the 18th century the bridge (PRN 1963) lay in the shadow of Warwick Castle, under Caesar's Tower. When a new bridge was built up-river and large areas of the surrounding countryside emparked the Medieval bridge was neglected and soon collapsed. The grounds to Park House, now being developed, run down to the old bridge and encompass the Medieval frontage on the street leading to the river. Excavation on the frontage has so far encountered the stone footings of three buildings, with intact floor deposits and hearths, and an external courtyard. It appears that each successive house was built on top of the ground floor remains of the previous ones, thus raising buildings above the river. <2> Excavations were completed in April 1984. The earliest feature on the site was a stone-revetted causeway which led through the marshes to the Old Bridge. Rubbish and silt accumulated against the causeway and eventually it dried out enough for houses to be built. The earliest buildings fronted the causeway, which came to be known as Little Street. Later on the gravel courtyards behind the buildings were encroached upon by houses fronting on Mill Street. The earliest pottery seems to date to the 12th-13th century. <4> The excavation uncovered a causeway on the approaches to the bridge, which must have been in existence by c AD 1200. A series of timber framed buildings was built on the frontage until the frontage was finally cleared at the turn of the 19th century. The archaeological remains relate largely to the 13th-16th centuries. Smithing seems to have been one of the most important trades here although the evidence for this comes mainly from documentary sources. <5> More recent excavations, in 1996, indicate the survival of structural remains to the south of the 1983 excavations. 13th-18th century deposits were recorded, with 1.35m of largely medieval stratigraphy.

This revealed traces of the rampart. <2> Plan. <3> 1954-5. A section was cut during construction of a sewage trench across the NW bank and ditch disclosing an outer ditch 5.5m wide and 2.75m deep, with deposits of silt. The latest pottery recovered from this ditch at an unascertained depth consisted of mortaria dating perhaps to the late 4th century. The ditch was separated from the footings of a wall by a berm 11.3m wide. The wall footings at this point consisted of diagonally placed loose stones of Hartshill quartzite much disturbed by 18th century robbing and 3.3m wide. Behind these footings was a clay bank at least 7.6m wide with marked tip layers of black and brown occupation debris. Pottery from the bank layer was mainly 2nd century, with a few sherds of late 3rd century and 4th century date. This bank was superimposed on an earlier ditch 3.65m wide containing 1st century pottery. This ditch became narrower and shallower on the N side as if tapering off to allow for an entrance 1955: Section C-D of the town defences cut as a series of 1.2m boxes to avoid flooding. The outer and inner lips of the early ditch were defined and in addition a robbed wall 2.75m wide, backed by a large clay bank 7.6m wide. Pottery indicated that the wall had been robbed in the 17th century and 18th century. It was not possible to obtain a section of the outer ditch. The bank behind the wall consisted of layers of heavy red clay intertwined with black and brown occupation debris. There was marked evidence of tipping. It seemed possible that the bank was the work of two periods. However, pottery could not be separated in date although generally speaking that from the occupation layers belonged to the 2nd century, while that from the clay was not earlier than about 250AD. The bank had been deposited on top of an earlier ditch. Pottery from the probable ditch indicated a closing date of c. 120AD. Over the tail of the bank was a thick deposit of heavy black silt containing pottery of later 4th century date. No trace of the rampart relating to the early ditch was found, but a large post-hole containing a fragment of Terra Sigillata form 37 (c100) may relate to the ditch. 1956: Section E-F of defences at SE corner intended to ascertain whether there was a bastion, but modern disturbances resulted in the cutting of the section a little to the N of the corner. It revealed an outer ditch which was not fully explored and produced a fragment of late 3rd century or 4th century mortarium. Between the ditch and the wall was a berm 10m wide, which consisted of two layers of compact gravel with a little 4th century pottery overlying 1st century and 2nd century layers and features. The trench for the wall footing was 3m wide and had been robbed in the Medieval period and the 18th century. Behind the wall was a bank of tipped layers of various types suggesting a one phase bank. An old ground surface with mid 2nd century pottery was sealed below the bank. Underneath this was a V-shaped ditch c5.5m wide and 2.7 to 3m deep with pottery not later than 90-100AD. The bank contained much pottery which is not earlier than late 3rd century. A coin of Licinius (307-24AD) and probable mid 4th century mortaria were found in a black layer overlying the tail of the bank.

The rampart consisted of red clay derived from the ditch, interspersed with redeposited occupation debris.

A road running roughly E-W, 4.6 m wide, constructed of pebble and gravel 0.3m to 0.35m thick, had been laid on turf containing late C1 pottery. Subsequently a large building had been built over the road, not inconsistent with a villa of 'corridor' type with foundations cut into the road. At a later period the foundations were completely robbed. At the extreme end of the site, below the robbed levels, substantial well-built walls gave the angle of the building with remains of a stoke arch and C4 material. A recent excavation has disturbed the hypocaust.

It dated to the Post Medieval period and was situated north east of Packington Hall.","<1> Imparked by Sir Clement Fisher in the reign of James I 'out of the outwood and some other grounds here' (Dugdale). It is at present a park of 500 acres, with a herd of 300 fallow deer. <2> Listed as a deer park in a work by Whitaker. It formed part of the Forest of Arden and contained some very old oaks. About 270 hectares. Imparked at time of James 1 (1603-25). There are still deer in the park, but there is no surviving indication of a park pale. <3> Landscape parks and lakes, c220 ha, round Packington Hall and Packington Old Hall. The late C17 Halls both had gardens of largely geometrical design, including canals and avenues, but these have gone. In c1750 Capability Brown was called in to make a survey for improvements. In 1751 he returned, making designs for various buildings and a grotto. The latter survives in part at the E end of the Hall Pool, i.e. 300m to the SE of Packington Hall. Brown created 2 main lakes, the Great Pool and the Hall Pool, which are fed from the E, and run for 2km E-W and slightly to the S of Packington Hall. Principal woodland for 700m to the S of Hall Pool (Wilderness and Little Dayhouse Wood), at the E end of Great Pool (the Decoy and Church Wood), and - the Garden Spinney - to the NW of the Hall and stables. Kitchen gardens of 5ha N of the stables. <4> Historical article on the development of Packington. The estate belonged to Kenilworth Priory in Medieval period. It was acquired at the Dissolution by the former tenant (John Fisher),who is said (by Dugdale) to have built the first house, probably on or near the site of the present Packington Hall. The estate was emparked by his son at the beginning of the C17, and the monastic estate settlement may have been removed as early as this. The lake now known as the Great Pool was established in the first half of the C17 but lay outside the then extent of the park. In this period there were probably fishponds on the site of the later Hall Pool, for there are references to Parliamentarian troops plundering fish during the Civil War. The park was extended in the second half of the C17, and the house now known as the Old Hall repaired, refaced and extended, possibly to act as a temporary home for the family. A new house, which forms the core of the present Packington Hall, was completed c1693. There is little evidence for the appearance of its late C17 and early C18 gardens, but they are likely to have been formal and to have made extensive use of water. The southern part of the park was transformed in the mid C18 after the designs of Capability Brown, who conceived the Hall Pool. At the same time the Hall was rebuilt around the late C17 core. Later in the C18 the Great Pool was reshaped, the Holyhead road diverted away from the house, and the old church rebuilt. A pleasure garden was laid out north of the Hall Pool at the end of the C18 and hothouses, greenhouses and terraces had all been constructed by 1820. At this date the park was extended again, obliterating Dyalls Green: this was the last major alteration to the Packington landscape.","MWA410","Great Packington, North Warwickshire, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","DEER PARK","","SP 22562 84112" "4100","Possible Ring Ditch 400m W of Barnwells Barn Farm","MON","The site of a possible ring ditch of Neolithic or Bronze Age date.

Defences appear to have consisted mainly of broad moats and sheets of water dammed by artificial banks and fed by sluices from the Avon. Earthworks cover 1.8 or 2.1 ha. The central moated mound, upon which the castle itself stood, is an almost square plateau which contains 0.4 ha; it has irregular additions and another small square on the E side; only fragments of walls of masonry now survive, and Dugdale wrote of it as 'moats and heaps of rubbish'. <2> Built in the 12th century and long the seat of the Verdon family; it was garrisoned in 1195. It is said to have been 'pulled down' by the baronial troops from Kenilworth Castle in 1265 because John de Verdon was an active supporter of the king. In 1279 a castle and a park are recorded and it was still used as a residence in 1309, but how much later it continued to function is uncertain. <3> Earthworks consisting of three moated enclosures, presumably always more or less filled with water. Traces of the channels bringing water to the castle survive. Waterworks were probably strengthened in 1226 by Nicholas de Verdon. In 1947 an excavation located a rectangular keep, probably of 13th century date. Excavation in the E moat failed to locate 12th century material, but quantities of domestic material including a coin of Stephen were found. There may have been timber buildings here. A concentration of green-glazed ridge tiles and roofing slates in the W enclosure suggest a building 'of some importance though small'. This could have been erected after destruction of the keep.

It is not really certain what he did - possibly the gates and locks which existed until 1820-30 in the upper Avon were his work. Harington says he made sluices in Bidford and Welford, so presumably he improved on the mill water courded there, however these would probably predate the large locks to be found later in these positions. By 1664 the Avon had come via a series of transactions eventually to a syndicate wishing to further improve the navigation. Hadfied guesses their work was to build 30 ton locks at Grange, Welford, Luddington, Stratford, and Luddington Weir. The engineer was probably Yarraton. After 1664 40 ton barges could apparently navigate the Avon. there was no horse-towpath, so power was wind or human derived. In 1813 Wm James bought the Upper Avon probably considering his interests in the Stratford Canal, and postulating a junction between the two. The junction was authorised in 1815 and opened in 1816 (See WA 4339). After the junction was opened trace was hampered by the nature of the Avon, in 1822 the stretch was closed for six months and £60 000 was spent on repairs to the locks. Increased tolls past Stratford, and competion from The Worcester and Birmingham canal meant trade was poor. A syndicate bought James' share in 1825. Further improvements had been carried out between 1823-5 when the chanel was deepened and Lucy's Lock (WA 4341) doubled. In1827 new secondary locks were built at Welford amd Luddington. In 1843 the Stratford Canal Company took the lease but losses were such that it relinquished it in 1847. By 1857 the owners had virtually abandoned the river and could get no one to buy it. In 1859 the OWWR bought the Avon, having previously bought the canal. By 1875 it announced that the river was to be abandoned and thereafter it fell into ruin. The renovation of the Stratford Canal prompted the renovation of the navigation along the Avon and in 1974 it became navigable to Evesham as part of the Avon ring. Six locks were rebuilt or built in totally different positions to the old ones, and often the old overflow weirs were removed.

Harington says he made sluices in Bidford and Welford, so presumably he improved on the mill water courded there, however these would probably predate the large locks to be found later in these positions. By 1664 the Avon had come via a series of transactions eventually to a syndicate wishing to further improve the navigation. Hadfied guesses their work was to build 30 ton locks at Grange, Welford, Luddington, Stratford, and Luddington Weir. The engineer was probably Yarraton. After 1664 40 ton barges could apparently navigate the Avon. there was no horse-towpath, so power was wind or human derived. In 1813 Wm James bought the Upper Avon probably considering his interests in the Stratford Canal, and postulating a junction between the two. The junction was authorised in 1815 and opened in 1816 (See WA 4339). After the junction was opened trace was hampered by the nature of the Avon, in 1822 the stretch was closed for six months and £60 000 was spent on repairs to the locks. Increased tolls past Stratford, and competion from The Worcester and Birmingham canal meant trade was poor. A syndicate bought James' share in 1825. Further improvements had been carried out between 1823-5 when the chanel was deepened and Lucy's Lock (WA 4341) doubled. In1827 new secondary locks were built at Welford amd Luddington. In 1843 the Stratford Canal Company took the lease but losses were such that it relinquished it in 1847. By 1857 the owners had virtually abandoned the river and could get no one to buy it. In 1859 the OWWR bought the Avon, having previously bought the canal. By 1875 it announced that the river was to be abandoned and thereafter it fell into ruin. The renovation of the Stratford Canal prompted the renovation of the navigation along the Avon and in 1974 it became navigable to Evesham as part of the Avon ring. Six locks were rebuilt or built in totally different positions to the old ones, and often the old overflow weirs were removed. The locks were built by a team of volunteers, prisoners and servicemen.","MWA4340","Stratford upon Avon, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","RIVER NAVIGATION","","SP 06400 49500" "4341","Lucy's Locks","MON","River locks known as Lucy's Locks.

After the lay of the land had been studied, shafts were sunk for the full width of the canal until the base line was reached. Then they were worked in a horizontal direction until meeting. The tunnel, however, was a source of delay, but in 1838 the opportunity arose to purchase part of the land over the tunnel. Over the next two years £3964 was spent opening up part of the tunnel at both ends and in the middle, leaving two detached sections of 336 yards and 452 yards. Finally in 1865 the company started opening up the rest, the work being completed in 1870.

The scheme had been mooted alongside the scheme for the Oxford Canal but it was appreciated that the C.C. on its own would have benefits such as improving the coal supply to Coventry. Brindley was the original choice of engineer but he was dismissed in 1769. By 1771 the canal was open to Nuneaton. There were problems regarding the choice of line to Polesworth and the company's work slowed down. The Oxford had to exert pressure on the C.C. to persuade it to make the junction with the Oxford. Legal action finally succeeded in 1777 and a junction was made at Longford. The Coventry also had to be persuaded to complete its line to Fradley and the Trent and Mersey Canal. As it was, the canal served fully the interests of the colliery owners along the banks if not serving fully its investors. Eventually a deal was struck whereby the Trent and Mersey and Birmingham and Fazeley shared the cost of the Fazeley-Fradley line. In 1790 the Coventry was completed to Fazeley. After the opening of the Warwick canals the Coventry suffered a drop in profits, but it benefited from the opening of the Ashby canal in 1804. Along with the other Midlands canals it suffered greatly from railway competition and dividends fell sharply from 40% in 1839 to 24% in 1845. By 1890 it was 8%. An approach made to the LNWR was unsuccessful in getting a rates agreement. The canals great earlier success meant that it didn't suffer so badly as other canals and it kept going until nationalisation by developing its property and selling water to local authorities. However, the final dividend was 6% rather than the 50% payed 1824-1828.

For a number of years it provided a useful alternative to the Warwick-Napton route to the Oxford canal as it had rather fewer locks. Indeed ""the traffic has however greatly decreased since the junction at the Birmingham and Fazeley canals with the Coventry and the Markets at Warwick have visibly declined"" (quoted in Hadfield and Norris, Waterways to Stratford, p74). The speaker was referring to road traffic: even the canal traffic had to work hard to compete.

The town comprised an industrial zone in the Birch Abbey area, a residential area to the east, and several cemeteries.","<1> The Roman town lies at the confluence of the Rivers Alne and Arrow. The site is beside the confluence of the two rivers under the modern town centre and extended E to Bleachfield Street and Birch Abbey. At the S of the town are the two major Roman routes which pass through Alcester - Ryknild Street and the Salt Way. Leland and Dugdale refer to finds of archaeological material at Blacklands. Various minor discoveries in the C16-C19. From 1923 more organised archaeological work. Origins: Closely linked with the Roman army. No clear evidence of Iron Age settlement on the site, although six or seven coins of the Dobunni are known from the town. Some evidence for the presence of the army - fort to S of town and military metalwork from the town. Some C1 pottery from sites in the town. The C2 saw expansion of the settlement. Fully developed road system probably dates from this time and the roads would have been fronted by buildings, mostly of timber, but some partly in stone. In the C2 there was some type of boundary ditch at the S of the town; then late in the century, part of the town was enclosed by a large degfensive rampart. The enclosed area was about one fifth of the town. In the C4 the town continued to prosper and the defences were added to with a stone wall. In the late C4 the settlement appears to have been in decline. Little is known of the end of Roman Alcester. The town had an irregular street plan. Zoning of industrial buildings in the Birch Abbey area. Rather better quality dwellings to the E of the town. The main cemetery lay to the W of the town - other small cemeteries are known. Buildings in the Roman town are of timber and stone and demonstrate a variety of building techniques. To the W of the Roman town traces have been found of a large area of marsh which was open in the Romano British and Medieval periods. This partially explains the location of the defended area. Alcester was initially a military post and then became a market area for the surrounding community. PMB has suggested that large granaries on the Coulters Garage site indicate the organisation, running and maintenance of the collection of the annona militaris (taxes in kind) in the C2-4 from Alcester. <5> Noted. <6> Evaluation and observation at 4-6 Evesham Street revealed Romano-British features including pit and oven, gravel surfaces and boundary ditch. This source also provides similar background information as given in <1>. <7> Details of Roman coins found between 1979-1991. <8> A Romano British Ditch was found during an archaeological excavation in the grounds of St. Faiths Primary School. It was probably a drainage ditch or field boundary similar to that recorded during trial trenching in 1995 at St. Benedict's School to the south. No evidence for other Romano-British occupation was revealed in the evaluation and this would confirm that the town did not extend beyond the river and that this area was probably a series of cultivated fields. <9> Roman coin found in the back garden of a house in Evesham Street sometime between 1987 and 1991. <10> Potsherds including colour coated ware, Samian ware and a rim sherd from a mortarium found in the allotments on Bleachfield Street in August 1996. <11> Noted. <12> Evaluation at Swan Court revealed a sequence of archaeological deposits and artefacts associated with low level activity in the Roman period.

A Roman subsoil was recorded, which showed a degree of disturbance and evidence of burning, though none of it was in situ. <14> Further observation at Swan Court, pursuant to <12>.

The manor belonged to Coventry Priory until the Dissolution, when it was granted to the City of Coventry, who still held it in Dugdale's time. Dugdale does not refer to it directly as a deserted settlement. He shows it on his map of Knightlow Hundred as lying more or less due west of Ansty. The map shows Tackley to the NW of Hawkesbury. Dugdale describes Tackley as a place long since depopulated, with only certain grounds called Tackley in the parish of Foleshill to recall it. <4> Beresford refers to the lost hamlets of Hawkesbury and Tackley as being in Foleshill parish and says that collieries and canal junction have obliterated the evidence. <5> Greenwood's 1822 map shows linear settlement in an area labelled Hawkesbury, SE of Hawkesbury Hall and along what is now Lenton's Lane. Settlement is also shown to the NW of Hawkesbury Hall. No settlement named Tackley is shown. <6> The 1835 OS 1"" map shows a farm called Hawkesbury SW of Lenton's Lane, as well as Hawkesbury Hall. Other rail, canal and industrial features with the Hawkesbury name are also shown N and W of Hawkesbury Hall. No settlement named Tackley is shown. <7> cf West Midlands SMR No 3180 and 6666. These entries state that there is no visible evidence of either settlement and that perusal of tithe and enclosure maps revealed no clues as to possible sites. <8> VCH makes it clear that Hawkesbury was originally a wasteland holding in the north part of Sowe parish, centred on a farm at apx SP3683 (later called Main Pit Farm and largely destroyed by C19 infrastructure developments). The equivalent holding in Foleshill was Tackley, originally a woodland settlement, which consisted of scattered tenancies, never a nucleated village. Both Hawkesbury and Tackley contained tenants both of Coventry Priory and of other lay manors. Tackley is marked on a map of 1725 as one house, though it was assumed at that time to be in a depopulated state. The single house may have been either Hawkesbury Hall or Tolldish Hall: the latter is clearly a C17 house, whilst the former is a C18 building, possibly an extension of an earlier structure. The adoption of the Hawkesbury name from the area in Sowe parish took place in the mid C18. <9> Dugdale's map and the VCH history make it clear that Beresford's site cannot be that of a DMV called Hawkesford. Nor is it likely to be the site of a village called Tackley.

The course to Alcester is very direct and the road is often raised 1-2 feet as far as Red Hill, with a parish boundary along it for 1.5 miles. At Oversley Hill, just before Alcester, the present road curves away to the north to avoid the hill, but the old course is very plainly marked by a line of hedgerows with a track or footpath, past the south side of Oversley Hill Farm, to Oversley Green. At the beginning of this line, alongside a wood, the old agger and its metalling can be clearly seen, about 21 feet wide and 1-2 feet high, diverging from the present road. The road continues west along Seggs Lane, crossing Ryknield Street. After half a mile the course onward is marked by a cart track and a line of hedgerows (partly alongside the Spittle Brook), and by a deep holloway. The road crosses the boundary at New End, heading for Shurnock. <2> Noted. <3> Located at Site E, where it is of pebble and gravel construction, some 12-14 inches thick, and 15 feet wide. It had been laid on turf containing sherds of rustic ware (late 1st century). Subsequently it was built over (WA 521). A section exposed (Site O) during the installation of a septic tank and sewer had a V-ditch. It then continues east as a hedgerow and footpath, and then following the line of a modern road. It is visible in many air photos. Work in Alcester demonstrated the probable continuation of this route east of Ryknield Street along the present line of Seggs Lane. Another parallel east-west road has been located to the south of this road in the extramural suburb of Alcester. The two roads within Alcester may represent part of a rudimentary street grid in the suburb, or they may represent two phases of alignment. <4> Line of road discovered during excavation of Birch Abbey site. <5> Archaeological observation of the laying of a new pipeline between Bordon Hill (SP 17 54) and the A46 Alcester Road (SP 17 55) revealed no archaeological features in the vicinity of the route of the Roman road (A46) and there were no associated finds made. <6> Observation of the easement of the Stratford Strategic Supply water main between the Oversley Green and Oversley Hill Farm revealed the possible remains of the Roman road at grid reference SP10355689. The area contained a c7m long spread of gravel, bounded on the southern side with a line of possible kerbstones aligned almost east-west. To the south of the kerb stones there may have been a roadside ditch. No kerbstones were visible on the northern edge. The line of the road should have been uncovered within the pipeline easement over a much longer area. Evidence for the road had presumably been destroyed through ploughing and possibly quarrying of the road surface material for use elsewhere. (EWA7313) <7> A section of the Roman road was discovered by magnetometer survey and evaluation as part of improvements to the A46. This section lies just along the south edge of the Roman settlement at Billesley Manor Farm and 25m north of the modern road.

During survey in 1985 a dense scatter of Iron Age pottery, animal bone and burnt stone was found. The site was gridded and material collected. 531 pieces of early Iron Age pottery, 361 pieces of animal bone and five quern stones were found. The pottery is shell-gritted and includes jars with fingertipping on rounded shoulders and vessels with decorative motifs formed by incised lines. The sherds are similar to pottery from other Iron Age sites on the North Cotswolds. The main concentration of material lies over the cropmark enclosure and probably indicates a small farmstead of Iron Age date.

There are also details in the FI file of fabric analysis and some drawings of prehistoric pottery from Whitchurch. <4> Three Iron Age sites have been located. Crimscote Down is probably a single farm, but Birchfurlong is very extensive - possibly as large as 10 ha and represents an extensive nucleated site. Rotton Pot Furlong has only been examined very briefly. Evidence for the chronology of these sites is uncertain, although it would seem that Birchfurlong was occupied throughout the Iron Age and the same is probably true of Crimscote Down. <5> Plan of site. <6> Mentioned as a very extensive open late Bronze Age settlement. Examination of about half the site produced 4,700 pieces of prehistoric pottery, 2,600 fragments of animal bone and 24 querns. The quantities of material may suggest that this site is comparable to the extensive late Bronze [Age] midden at Potterne, Wiltshire. <7> A proposal for excavation, produced by Cardiff University. This reflects the change in interpretation of this site, from a settlement to a midden. Augur survey was undertaken in January 2006, to invesitgate the 'spread' of deposits; they seemed to suggest activity was concentrated at the top of the hill. Personal communication from the farmer indicates that other, previously unrecorded, cropmarks may lie adjacent to those areas of interest already identified through aerial photography. Excavation in September 2006 is targeted at the area identified through fieldwalking and test magnetometry survey. <8> Brief account of work carried out on the site in September 2006 and 2007 by Cardiff University, under the direction of Niall Sharples and Kate Waddington. Excavation of three trenches in 2006 recorded the midden deposits as a thick dark earth layer containing large quantities of pottery and animal bone. Features were clearly cut into the underlying gravel in all 3 trenches. A week of geophysical survey was undertaken in September 2007. Magnetic susceptibility proved to be an excellent method for defining the edge of the midden . A route way to approach the site, several large enclosures and a series of linear boundaries, a large trapezoidal enclosure, the ring ditches of at least two round houses were suggested. This indicates a midden and complex settlement, some of which might be chronologically related to the construction of the midden. Metalwork was also recorded dating to the Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age by a programme of metal detector survey carried out on the site.

These extend into to the field to the NE of Chadshunt House. A trial excavation was organised with the objective of establishing when or not buildings had existed here and if so what date they were. Two trenches were excavated. The archaeological evidence from the trenches consisted entirely of dumps of stone, clay and brick. There was no trace of structures as such. An 18th century date is likely for this activity. The dumping was presumably connected with strcutural alterations to the house and with the excavation of the large fishpong adjacent to the SE. The cropmarks remain unexplained but may possibly have resulted from drainage activity connected with the post medieval dumpimg.<4> Noted. <5> The earthworks consist of a series of rectangular enclosures and platforms, divided by ditches and holloways. Originally the village must have extended to the E, but the earthworks have been removed by ploughing. The earthworks immediatedly to the NE of the Hall are probably modern garden features. There is much ridge and furrow to the N and W. In its heyday there were 22 or 23 households. It was a typical champion village of the Warwickshire Feldon, with a two-field system. Chadshunt was paired with Gaydon both belonging to the bishop of Coventry and Lichfield and lying in the same parish. These twin or double villages are found in the region notably in the neighbouring parish of Burton Dassett. <6> Noted. <7> Some of the Deserted Medieval Village earthworks can be accounted for by structures and roads still present in 1839. In particular a road stretching from the crossroads, north-eastwards. Its final part is still represented by the narrow field between WA 754 and the church.

Courtyard house, originally moated. Brick built, two half timbered gables. The east front of the house was remodelled in the early 18th century and again in 1867. Windows of dates varying from c1500 to 19th century. One of the bay windows and the hall roof are said to have come from Fulbroke Castle. Inside, the hall still has its screens passage, and other Elizabethan features remain. <4> Listed Building description. <5> The house was begun in the early 16th century, near the site of a depopulated Medieval village, for Sir William Compton, one of Henry VIII's officials. The form is quadrangular; the house is entered through a gatehouse on the west side. There were originally two moats - an outer, dry moat, enclosing the house and a service court; and an inner, water filled, moat enclosing the house itself. Traces of both survive. Repairs and alterations to the house were made in the early 18th century. In 1768 the 8th Earl ordered the house to be demolished, due to financial problems, but the order was not carried out. The house was effectively abandoned until the 1850s; it was restored 1859-60. <7> Possible site of Civil War seige. <8>, <9> Main home of the Earl of Northampton, who along with his five sons played an active role in the Civil war. Royalist garrison and important outlier of the Royalist garrison at Banbury castle. The house was moated and had a drawbridge and had definitely had earthwork defences added to it. On Friday the 7th of June a force of Parliamentarian troops arrived to besiege the house. Banbury castle was unable to help as many Royalist forces were with the Kings army being pursued by the Parliamentarian forces under Sir William Waller in the run up to the Battle of Cropredy Bridge (29th June), a Royalist victory. After 2 days of being bombarded the garrison surrendered (p.164). It then became a Parliamentarian garrison. This was attacked by a large Royalist force on the 30th of January 1645. The attack was beaten off after a long fight. An account of the fight mentions a new sconce (fortified outwork) in front of the stone bridge, ‘out-works’ and talks about the fighting in and around the brewhouse and stables. It can be assumed that the house had become a proper small fortress. The house remained a Parliamentarian garrison until the end of the war and survived (pp.205-206).","MWA5225","Compton Wynyates, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Building","MANOR HOUSE, HOUSE","","SP 33075 41827" "5226","Findspot - Post Medieval sword blade fragment","FS","Findspot - a fragment of a Post Medieval sword blade was found 1km south of Windmill Hill.","<1> Fragment of sword blade of iron found in the moat at Compton Wynyates about 3.96m down in about 1862.

To the W the building overlooks the river, but on all other sides there is a descent of several feet down to the building. The building was possibly constructed in a quarry. The space between the castle wall and the bank of the quarry formed a moat. Sir William Bagot purchased the castle in 1381. On the E side masonry was found just beneath the turf. A floor was found at 2.1 m. Two thousand heraldic floor tiles were found from a floor of a room on the upper floor which had collapsed. Other finds included a broken sword blade, a bone pin, and some sherds of Tudor green and brown glazed pottery. Much of the stonework of the upper stories, including vaulting and ribs of the arches, was found. Further evidence for levelling in the 19th century was found.

During an excavation the remains of the defences, ovens, a gatehouse, granary and barracks were found from the second phase of occupation. It is situated north of Coventry Road, Baginton.","<1> Excavation in 1966-7 indicated a second period of occupation within the late Neronian-early Flavian period (cAD 60-79). Period 2 is c70-90. Evidence was found for the W, E and possibly for the N defences, with associated rampart-ovens; also for a gateway, granary, barrack-block and a further building. Finds included coins, Samian, brooches, coarse ware, and military bronzes. <2> Further excavations 1968-71. Period 2 was more closely dated to cAD 64-70? The E gate was fully excavated, but S and W gates can only be inferred. Several buildings were excavated including a gyrus, principia, praetorium, two granaries and six barrack blocks. In addition two further Periods were distinguished (PRN 5298, 5299). <3> Further excavations after 1971 altered the dating of Phase 2 to cAD 64-77/8. Further work was conducted on a number of buildings within the fort. In addition a probable stable building was uncovered. The cumulative evidence of horse fittings, stabling (?), an extensive metalworking area, adequate granary and storage space, the gyrus and the size of the praetorium suggests a cavalry presence at the fort at this time. There is also possible evidence for cavalry training which could indicate the drafting of Britons into the Roman army. <5> Scheduled as Warwickshire Monument No 126. <8> Excavation in 1990-1 partly emptied the defensive ditches and revealed features suggesting a later palisade. There were also vestiges of occupation outside the defences. The line of the western defences continued to be uncovered as they met the NW corner of the fort. <9> The postulated mess hall and intervallum road identified in previous seasons must be discounted and only the the oven can securely be dated to the Roman period. The linear slot (see WA 2673), may belong to a period 1 building or a setting out slot for the period 2 rampart. It is certain that the period 2 inner ditch follows the line of a gravel bank and that the profile of this section of ditch appears not to be defensive in nature. The defensive system on the western side of the fort appears to be different from that on the eastern side, in having a triple ditch system. <10> Most of the work undertaken in the 1996 season was concentrated on the area to the W of the gravel bank, particularly the inner and wide ditches that form the western defences. It was concluded that the Period 2 inner ditch does follow the line of the gravel bank and its profile varies considerably; from a defensive ditch to the S to a U-shape, almost a U-shape, and then finally a fairly shallow ditch in the area of the present excavations. These changes may be due to topographic variations along the ditch's course. It seems that post-pits found along the edge of the gravel bank may well have formed a double row of timber emplacements, possibly part of a rampart structure. However, the relationship of the feature to the inner ditch would cause problems in the phasing and so it may be that the post pits are actually part of the Period 3 or even Period 4 rampart (WA 5298/WA 5299). <11> Work carried out during the 1997 season was again concentrated on the area to the W of the gravel bank, investigating the relationship between the outer, inner and wide ditches. Work in a section revealed that the wide ditch cut through the outer ditch and is therefore later. A sherd of medieval green glaze pot was found in the upper fill of the outer ditch, dating the wide ditch to the medieval period. <12> Excavations between 1988 and 1991 in the NW part of the fort found considerable plough disturbance. However, the line of the Period 2 rampart and part of the intervallum road was traced. A circular clay oven was discovered in 1991. <13> Continual cleaning of the area to the west of the outer ditch has gradually revealed a little more evidence of occupation in this area. Other than the 'F' and post hole buildings, very little has been found in this area, suggesting perhaps that it was sparsely inhabited.

The earthwork bank is still visible and is situated to the south, west and north of the castle.","<1> A number of important earthworks exist outside the castle. Running in a SE direction for a length of about 137m is an artificial bank thrown across the valley from Mortimer's Tower to the Floodgate Tower. It is about 16.4m wide and in part 6.1m high; this was constructed for the purpose of damming up the water of streams and pools and creating water defences to the castle on the S, W and N (PRN 5380). At the SE end of the great dam was a ditch, 17m wide and 6.1m deep, which served as an overflow for the waters of the lake. Portions of the stonework of a sluice survive. This sluice controlled the amount of water in the moat around the castle. <2> Previously Scheduled as Warwickshire Monument No 1. <3> Scheduling information. <4> Revised Scheduling information. Massive dam running SE from S side of Outer Court for apx 150m, built to retain water in mere. In 14th and 15th century was further strengthened and fortified, and was again improved for tilting in 16th century. It was deliberately breached in the aftermath of the Civil War. Fragments of Medieval masonry are still visible. As well as the dam itself a 10m wide sample section of the mere floor adjacent to it is Scheduled. <5> Arch Obs took place to assist with the proposals for a flood alleviation scheme. Test pits revealed alluvial deposits, including undated waterlogged deposits. There is considerable potential for important medieval waterlogged remains to survive adjacent to the south east end of the dam. <6> Arch survey - topographical/resistivity & radar - undertaken in asssociation with proposals for a flood alleviation scheme to place sluices across the outlet of the Finham Brook from the causeway and create an overflow at its southern end making use of an extant historic channel. The geophysical work identified the line of the channnel from the mere to the ponds and showed a bank on either side of the channel together with revetment features on the southern buried side. The topographical survey located several features including a platform surrounding the ponds, banks, masonry walls, quarry pits and rectilinear earthworks and a mound that may be structural remains. <7> Included in a resource assessment of the Mere and associated features. <8> Excavtion in advance of a new entrance building uncovered evidence of dam construction layers dating to the 12th/early 13th century. The layers appeared to pre-date the adjacent standing walls of the Gallery Tower and the Tiltyard, and were topped by a rubble surface which may have formed a strand for boats used on the mere. The remains survive at a depth of only 0.15 - 0.20m below the former ground surface over the whole of the excavated area, so that any interference below this level would disturb/destroy archaeological material. <9> Further report to <7>. <10> Evidence of the make-up deposits for the dam and shallow foundations for the east wall of the Tiltyard were recorded during archaeological recording of disturbance caused by a fallen tree. Two phases of wall foundations were recorded for the east wall cut into the dam make up - the earlier foundation which was possibly medieval or 16th- century was fairly insubstantial; the later contained resused masonry, may have been late 16th-century in date although it had probably been rebuilt during consolidation work in the 1960s.","MWA5379","Kenilworth, Warwick, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","DEFENCE, DAM, DITCH, BANK (EARTHWORK), PLATFORM, WATER CHANNEL, QUARRY","","SP 27936 72163" "538","Site of Medieval Gunnings Bridge, Alcester.","MON","The site of the Medieval Gunnings Bridge which is known from documentary evidence.

Chatwin suggests that the keep was constructed around 1122 by Geoffrey de Clinton. The keep is 24.4m by 19.2m, with large square projections clasping the angles, making it overall about 30m by 24.4m, and in height it was about 24.4m. It must have taken a very long time to erect. It may not have been completed in Geoffrey de Clinton's lifetime. The exceptionally solid nature of the defences suggests a date later than the middle of the 12th century. During the construction of the keep it is likely that a circular enclosure of bank and ditch surmounted by a palisade was constructed. The present courtyard may occupy approximately the site of the bailey which probably developed from the palisaded enclosure. <2> The early castle consisted of a great keep which stood at the NE angle of a bailey.

The site lies 700m south east of Arrow.","<1> In 1086 Fulk held the manor of Oversley, but it later passed to Ralph de Boteler, who probably built a castle there making it his principal seat. A steep knoll overlooking the river Arrow is still known locally as 'Boteler's Castle'. <2> A castle 'the strength and compass it was of, may be seen to have been of no mean consideration'. <3> No sign of buildings on the obvious knoll at Boteler's Castle. In the summer of 1934 Mr BW Davis trenched the top and sides of the hill. He discovered a considerable amount of pottery, roofing tiles, slates, but little stone and absolutely no trace of foundations. This suggests that the castle was timber and that no motte was formed as the natural escarpment was deemed sufficient. The ruins seen by Dugdale were probably of a later stone building (PRN 6149). <4> In the 13th century Oversley ceased to be the chief residence of the Botelers. <5> A rectangular castle mound in a commanding position with a ditch to the S. There are no indications of a building but coarse Medieval pottery was found over a wide area. The site has been under plough for many years and the mound is spread. At SP0855 are two parallel banks. These appear to have been outworks of the castle forming two unusual baileys. <7> A plot of air photographic evidence for the castle shows that considerable earthworks existed on the site. A probable motte is indicated to the W. Additional marks may indicate a bailey to the E. <8> Other earthworks/crop marks on the site, including the two parallel banks mentioned by the OS, probably relate to an iron age hillfort (PRN 6119) and a later manor house (PRN 6149). <10> Additional finds on the site of medieval pottery made in 1985. <11> Geophysical survey located a number of anomalies of archaeological potential along the route of the proposed Norton Lenchwick Bypass. However the northern boundary of the outer bailey was not identified. <12> Excavations of the enclosure on the E side of the castle established beyond doubt that the enclosure was associated with the castle, putting to rest the idea that it was an Iron Age hillfort. Its layout, with few internal boundaries, apparently communal features such as the group of cess pits, and the massiveness of the ditch, all suggest that it was an outer bailey to the castle rather than a village around the castle. The dating of the finds ties in well with historical dating of the site, placing it firmly in the 12th - 13th century, the heyday of the castle. <13> The castle seems to have consisted of a motte and three baileys, an inner bailey to the east of the motte and two further baileys to the north. It had been suggested that the two northern baileys were part of the post medieval gardens of Oversley Court, but the cropmark evidence, which was not available at the time, shows that they were an intergral part of the medieval defensive system. Whether the baileys were all laid out at one time or the northern ones represent later extensions cannot be said. The northern sides of the northern baileys runalong the edge of the escarpment, along the most defensible line, so it is possible that they were part of the original scheme. To the east of the castle baileys there was a large subrectangular outer enclosure, running from the castle to just beyong Ryknild Street which was included within it. The excavations revealed a settlement that was contempoary with the castle, dating from the 12th to early 13th century. <14> Correspondence from 1934-5 about an excavation. <15> Plan that probably relates to <14>. <16> Map. <17> Correspondence from 1988. <18> Noted; reference to excavations detailed in <14>, undertaken by Davis 'on many occasions between Feb. 1934 and April 1935.

The manor house was once surrounded by a moat. It is now owned by the National Trust and is situated in Coughton.","<1> Partly timber framed and partly of stone and brick. It is ranged around three sides of a courtyard. The eastern range was destroyed when the house was pillaged by a protestant mob from Alcester in 1688, and its ruined remains were cleared away in 1780. The timber framed north and south wings are probably early 16th century, built by Sir Robert Throckmorton. The stone gatehouse to the west is recorded by Dugdale as being built by his son, Sir George. This probably refers to the present upper part; the lower part, of a different design and materials, probably dates to the late 14th century. The house was originally surrounded by a moat, which was drained and filled in during 1795. There was apparently no berm between the moat and the walls, and tradition speaks of fishing from the upstairs windows. North east of the house and originally separated from it is a detached building of T-shaped plan, dating apparently from the early 16th century, probably built for lodgings rather than for offices or stages. The walls are of ashlar cotswold stone with a moulded plinth of red stone and are repaired with brick under the eaves. The roofs are tiled. Over the entrance of the south end-wall of the south wing is a doorway which is said to have communicated by a bridge over the moat with the vanished east range of the house. <2> At Coughton Court are kept two carved alabaster slabs. One shows the nativity, the other showing the head of St John the Baptist with St Peter on one side and St Thomas of Canterbury on the other. Scratched on the rear are various 17th century dates and names of owners. The making of these slabs was an important industry in Nottingham in the 15th century, and many were hidden during the Reformation. The building is owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. The contents still belong to the Throckmorton family. <3> The oldest part is the gatehouse; the upper stonework is post 1518 but the lower stonework may be earlier. The house was originally a moated courtyard house, but in 1688 the east range (containing the hall) was destroyed. The west range was remodelled in 1780, and extensions were made in 1835. <4> Plan of the house. <5> During salvage recording in 1990-1 evidence for 12th-13th century primary occupation of the manor house was found. Evidence was also found of possible renewed activity in the 15th century. Evidence for the 16th century building plan was discovered. <6> Archaeological observation was carried out in 1994 during tree planting and fence erection around the trees. Such a small area was exposed that it is difficult to draw any conclusions, although a pebbley clay loam with regular clay flecks was observed beneath the topsoil. <7> The area observed in 1994 was once occupied by stable yards and lay adjacent to the former moat. Large sandstone blocks were revealed in one of the tree pits, but no archaeological features or finds were identified. <8> Shortly after the east wing had been removed c1780, the west front was remodelled, and a chapel built in the south wing. This work may have formed part of an overall scheme for Coughton by the landscape gardener, John Davenport. At this point, the house had reached more or less its modern form, though there have been 19th and 20th century internal alterations. <9> Photographs of the East Front and North Wing and of the Dining Room. <10> Excavation report from 1991. <11> Maps from the National Trust.","MWA559","Coughton, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Building","MANOR HOUSE, HOUSE","","SP 08312 60606" "5590","Findspot - Post Medieval coin","FS","Findspot - a Post Medieval coin was found at Captain's Hill, Alcester.","<1> Find of Post Medieval coin made with a metal detector: Groat of Elizabeth I.","MWA5590","Kinwarton, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Find Spot","FINDSPOT","","SP 09970 58100" "5591","Findspot - Post Medieval coin, Abbey Fields, Kenilworth","FS","Findspot - a coin dating to the Post Medieval period was found in Abbey Fields during work being carried out to extend the swimming pool.","<1> The open air swimming pool at Abbey Fields clearly occupies a site of great antiquity.

Further references exist in the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. <2> It is difficult to correlate field and documentary evidence for the mill sites in Studley parish. The Priory Mills first appear by name in the 18th century. There were three mills at this date. A fourth mill is recorded in 1738 and 1766 associated with the 'swan pools' and this appears to be the Priory Mill. An 18th century estate map shows the layout of fishponds (PRN 6163). The mill was originally fed from the River Arrow, which was twice its normal width at this point. After 1824 a new mill-pool was constructed by damming the river. This has now been drained. The W side has been filled in but the dam survives and the main part of the pond with its islands can be traced, exceedingly overgrown. An overflow channel drains back into the river. A number of buildings are indicated on the 18th century map, but the main mill always lay across the Arrow. Beighton's map of c1725 shows two mills here, one each side of the Arrow. A number of separate wheels may have been operating and this would explain the record of three or four mills. Corn grinding and needle making are recorded in the 19th century.

Of its architectural history nothing is known, though some ruins of it were still standing in Dugdale's time. <3> Whether it was William or one of his two sons who erected the castle it was of considerable importance. It would seem most likely that it was of a motte and bailey type with presumably later buildings in stone erected within the bailey, but it may have been a square stone keep; Dugdale's 'ruines' plainly indicate substantial masonry. The present building stands on the E of an artificially made platform, approximately circular in shape with no definite ditch except on the side next to the road where it is about 0.7m deep with a steep bank up to the platform, which at its N end is about 0.33m high. This is known locally as 'The Mound'; there is no sign of this being the site of the motte but it is where it might be expected. It is surmised that at some time in the 18th century the owner of the timber framed house rearranged his garden and levelled the motte and bailey enclosure bank, filling in the moat on all sides but that facing the road and removed or buried the stone foundations and thus formed the present platform. <4> The remains of a castle mound attaining a maximum height of 5m. Modern 'improvements' have destroyed half of the original mound and neither ditch nor bailey can now be traced. <5> The castle could have been built around 1135-40 at a time before the break-up of the Corbucion estate. Although Dugdale notes castle ruins the site now consists of a roughly circular moated platform with a deep ditch on the W and and the line of the ditch visible on the S. The house, which is 16th century and later, stands towards the rear of the circular platform. The moat remains in good condition, although dry. A trial trench through the rampart in 1967 produced mid 12th century to mid 13th century pottery and a second ditch, concentric with the moat. <6> Studley Old Castle, designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument from 17th July 1995.

The site is located 600m to the east of Marsh Farm, Salford Priors.","<1> Evaluation of a cropmark site in advance of quarrying was unable to clarify the status of trackways associated with a known Roman settlement, (SAM 162). Open area excavation revealed them to be parts of overlapping field systems of uncertain date. After removal of the ploughsoil, part of a late Iron Age settlement was uncovered at the eastern end of the site. A single house structure was represented by a pennanular gully, while several lengths of 'banana gully' containing heat cracked stones could be other houses or sheltered cooking places. A small Iron Age ring ditch protruded under the eastern edge of the excavation and was cut by a ditch which presumably enclosed further settlement to the south east. <2> An archaeological evaluation of this cropmark complex was carried out by the Warwickshire Museum in 1991. The features, representing the remains of settlement and a field system, appear to span the Iron Age and Romano British periods. <3> A second phase of evaluation was carried out in 1992. All the trial trenches with the exception of one contained archaeological remains. Many of these deposits showed a continuation of the types of feature met during the excavation of Phase 2. In several places the indications of aerial evidence were confirmed, and the presence of features not visible as cropmarks suggested a more intensive use of the site. <4> Two Roman coins from the 4th century found in, or before 1985 at SP07955188 which lies within this ditch area. The method of recovery was not recorded. <5> Evaluation in advance of road construction May/June 1993. At the southern end there was a large undated enclosure containing a surface scatter of Neolithic flintwork. In the central area was evidence of Roman British occupation (2nd-4th century) with quantities of painted plaster, roof and hypercaust tile suggesting a villa site within the scheduled area. To the north was an enclosure with material dating to the late Iron Age/early Roman period which related to features of this date excavated in the Marsh Farm quarry. <6> To the south (in area C2) a stone building not previously detected was investigated. Its NE corner survived as a single course of roughly dressed limestone. It had probably been aisled in plan. Two deep squared pits, one revetted with stone, connected by a stone lined drain, were revealed on its southern side. They were probably associated with water management. Another stone building, better preserved was found in area C1. The footings of a central partition divided the building in two. The eastern side had a loose laid stone floor with a large cess pit in the SE corner. The western side had an earth floor with a central hearth surrounded by post holes. The remains of a T-shaped corn drier were uncovered under the western half of the building. <7> Revision of the information given in the above entries: areas C 1-3: 2400 sq m uncovered exposing part of the late Iron Age field system on the western side. A 6.5 wide trackway appeared to be aligned N-S on the eastern side of this enclosure. A farmstead of two enclosures was identified to the south - short linear gulles with parallel rows of postholes may represent internal structures, but the same stuctures also occurred outside the enclosures. The excavation was extended to investigate the bath complex in area C2 and the 3rd-4th century stone building in area C3. Area C4 contained a large clay filled ditch of uncertain function containing abraded Romano British tile. Area C5 revealed the eastern side of the cropmark enclosure and a large pit and a small posthole, but there was no dating evidence. Limited quantities of high status pottery were found. <8> Further work during the watching brief (January-June 1994) established that a small bath complex had been inserted in the southern end of the ailsled building in area C2. There were four rooms with sunken floors, of which three (on the western side) were heated, being connected by a central flue. The furnace and further unheated rooms were missing. The bath house went out of use in the Roman period; the roof and walls were robbed and the rooms backfilled with loose rubble, painted plaster, flue and roof tile fragments. Large enclosure ditches were cut through the building suggesting that this part of the site then reverted to agricultural use.To the northeast of the aisled building, the remains of an oven were also observed. A second year of excavations at Marsh Farm Quarry took place in August September 1994. The site was found to be dominated by linear ditched trackways which align on the west side of the villa complex, and were probably used to control the livestock in and out of the villa/farm complex. <9> Excavation of Phase 4 at Marsh Farm Quarry encovered a far lower density of occupation than in Phase 2 to the sout, suggesting that this area lay outside the main settlement. Only a single pit contained pottery and heat cracked stones and evidence of more than one fill. There was also only one example of the feature representing partial hut circles or wind breaks. The finds included pottery, flint daub, and an iron blade. <10><11><12><13> Crop mark evidence of enclosures, ring ditches and trackways evident on aerial photographs were mapped as part of the English Heritage National Mapping Project.","MWA5757","Salford Priors, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","CORN DRYING OVEN, FIELD SYSTEM, TRACKWAY, BUILDING, DITCH, ENCLOSURE, CURVILINEAR ENCLOSURE, HEARTH, PIT, RING DITCH, BATH HOUSE, CESS PIT","","SP 07918 52045" "5758","Various Iron Age to Medieval Finds","FS",,"<1> An archaeological evaluation of the proposed library site at Bidford on Avon was carried out by the Warwickshire Museum in 1991.

At least three fishponds may be represented. Leat features may run off the pond network. Later, Bond postulated that a square shallow pond on the site might provide a shallow water habitat for ducks. He considered that the earthworks most closely resembled fishponds at Washford, Redditch on the Warwickshire-Worcestershire border, a parish that coincidentally also contained land that had been owned by the Kinghts Templar. <3> Filled in in 1973. <4> In c1973 all that remained was an L-shaped hollow of the (?) moat. This was filled in by the farmer. <5> Evaluation undertaken: the 13th century pottery recovered from the primary fills of the fishpond and the moat suggest the two are contemporary. Environmental fills from the pond contained large quantities of mollusc shells from a species of snail that lives in stagnant water. The fill also contained remains of fresh water shell fish. Unopened oyster shells suggested that the ponds were being used to store oysters. <6> Several elements relating to the fishponds, including the L-shaped pond/moat, were uncovered: a series of water channels supplying the ponds and nearby 2 wooden stakes and a plank, a ""stew"" (distribution/storage pond) sited next to the possible moat and a fragment of timber that may have been part of a timber frontage or a sluice, and several other ponds or stews, one of which had timbers that may have sported nets to keep herons and other predators at bay. <7> The site of the earthwork complex at Wishaw, was subject to excavation and recording during consturction of the M6 toll. The fishpond complex was recorded; the valley pond (growing pond and reservoir), dams, a rearing pond and subsidary channel. The fish pond system was abandoned in the 14th century, representing a design that is very much as it was laid out. A hitherto unrecorded medieval building foundation was recorded on the site, potnetially as the house of the fish-keeper. It is postlated that the fishpond complex may be associated with a medieval centre of some importance at Wishaw Hall Farm, possibly associated with the Knight's Templar. It appears to have been in use for a relatively short period of time, spanning the mid-13th-early 14th centuries when the Knight's Templar were at their most successful; it is likely that its subsequent abandonment was a result of a lack of labour and funds to run it effectively.

There are further banks and trenches to be seen within the wood, which probably formed outworks to the main fort.

Lower Itchington was once more important than Bishops Itchington and contained the church (PRN 829), but Thomas Fisher purchased the manor in 1537 and pulled down the church to build the manor house (PRN 6181) and depopulated the village. Houses survived on the site into the Post Medieval period (PRN 6182). Many old coins, bones, musket balls and foundations of stone were found in 1849, no doubt relics of the destroyed village. A detailed manorial history survives and is described in the VCH. In the 12th century the manor was in the hands of Coventry Priory and was later a possession of the Bishop of Coventry. In 1259 Bishop Morlend was granted a weekly market and an annual fair. <2> The village was returned as depopulated in 1607. Old Town Farm marks the site of the lost Nether Itchington and it is surrounded by fields named in the 1845 Tithe Award as 'Old Town Fields'. <3> Examination of air cover shows disturbance to the E of Old Town Farm centred on SP3956. This includes a pond bay (PRN 6183) and other features. <4> Traces of the church survive in the manor house (PRN 829, 6181). The earthworks mentioned by the OS to the E of the site include a fishpond and other platforms, ditches and banks, possibly indicating the site of Medieval houses. <6> These earthworks are fairly amorphous and the supposed platforms may relate to disturbance or quarrying rather than occupation. <7> Aerial photographs show a number of rectangular stone walled buildings as crop marks at about SP3956.

It was landscaped between 1768 and 1774 by Capability Brown. In the 1800s the lake was enlarged. It is marked on Greenwood's map of 1822.","<1> The park surrounding the mansion at Compton Verney covers an area of c.220ha. The mansion of 1714 originally had an arrangement of formal parterres adjacent to it. These were replaced by the park created by Capability Brown between 1768 and 1774, work which included the unification of five small and separate ponds into the present Compton Pools. <2> The 18th century house was built on an earlier site. The early 18th century formal gardens are shown in a plan of 1736, but were succeeded by parkland created by Capability Brown. The lower lake was enlarged 1814-15. Features of interest include the Grade I Listed house, chapel and stables; Grade II* Listed gateway; Grade II Listed and Scheduled bridge(s) and boathouse; further bridges, avenues, drives, pleasure ground with obelisk, conservatory, icehouse, and greenhouse (demolished). <3> Compton Verney Park is marked as a 'new park' on Beighton's map of 1725. One of a group of similar early 18th century formal layouts possibly by the same hand. <4> By the 17th century there existed a house set in extensive grounds (containing the site of a Medieval settlement depopulated before 1600). This is shown in an illustration by Holler reproduced in Dugdale's 'Antiquities' (1656). This shows pools, an extensive orchard and parkland. The house was rebuilt in 1714 and at the same time the grounds were laid out in an elaborate formal design reminiscent of formal layouts on neighbouring estates. Plans of 1736 and 1738 show that the layout at this period included several avenues, a great walk to the east of the house, a canal and vista to the west, parterres to the north, and formal glades and rides to the south. In the mid 18th century the house was remodelled and in the 1760s Capability Brown was instrumental in the creation of a landscaped park to replace the formal gardens. Structures associated with this phase include an orangery (demolished), possibly by Adam, and bridges. Further work was undertaken in the early 19th century, when the lower lake was enlarged and the estate village of Combrook improved. Though the family retained the estate until 1921, the land is now in divided ownership and the condition of the park has deteriorated. <5> Illustration in Dugdale's 'Antiquities' of the 17th century house and grounds. <6> - <7> Several landscape features are shown on the OS 1:10560 1886 Shts 45SW/SE. <8> - <9> The park is shown shaded on the OS 1:10560 1906 Shts 45SW/SE. <10> Shown on Greenwood's map of 1822. <11> Noted. <12> Repair works to the Dam Bridge (EWA 7129, located at SP31065262) recorded the original 18th century bridge structure. This allowed part of the central arch, a section of the parapet and areas behind missing/damaged stonework - to be recorded. In addition two brick bases were identified, which may have been associated with later repair work. <13> Observation during phase 2 of the refurbishment of Compton Verney House, during 2001. Part of a stone wall was recorded, to the southwest of the house. It belongs to the 17-th century geometric formal garden, south of the former long pool, shown on Fish's survey of 1736, and removed during Capability Brown's remodelling of the parkland. The coach house was photographically recorded. The ha-ha was also recorded during clearance of a section of it. <14> Further observation during phase 2 of the refurbishment of Compton Verney House, during 2002. Work was carried out in the mansion house (see MWA1188) and in the brewhouse (see MWA8833). To the southeast of the Brewhouse, a wall belonging to a vaulted cellar was revealed. Part of a late 19th-century outbuilding was recorded. Another stone wall was recorded in a service trench to the southeast of the house, and south of the lake. Although no dating evidence was found it is likely that it would have belonged to a medieval building within the village of Compton Murdak. <15> Monitoring of reinstatement of the Capability Brown footpaths at Compton Verney. The outer circuit of paths have a gravel surface overlying a base of limestone fragments. The cross-paths were largely made up on limestone fragments and are likely to post-date Brown's paths.","MWA6363","Compton Verney, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","PARK, BRIDGE","","SP 31108 52919" "6364","Site of Cattle Pens at Arley Station","MON","The site of a pound, where livestock was penned, which was in use during the Imperial period.

The house foundations and other features which were located are likely to be the remains of the village of Compton Murdak, which was probably deserted in the mid to late 15th century. <2> Pottery recovered during fieldwalking by Professor C Dyer in 1999 was of similar date (12th-15th century) and type to the pottery found during the excavations of 1991. The distribution of pottery suggests that in soil dumped in the 18th century during the creation of the lakes has sealed the medieval village below in the area adjacent to the lake. Modern ploughing is not currently penetrating onto the Medieval site. The relatively high density of pottery to the north of the 1991 excavation indicates that the size of the Medieval settlement was larger than previously thought.","MWA6400","Compton Verney, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","DESERTED SETTLEMENT","","SP 31461 52963" "6401","Pottery from Eclipse Trading Estate, Alcester","FS","Findspot - sherds of Prehistoric pottery were found during an archaeological evaluation at the Eclipse Trading Estate, Alcester.","<1> An archaeological evaluation of the Eclipse Trading Estate was undertaken by the Warwickshire Museum in January 1991.

The trenches were due E and W, and the bodies had 'feet towards the dawn'. In two instances they were buried side by side.

Here, around the 13th century chapel (PRN 651) earthworks have been traced over some 35 ha suggesting a settlement of some considerable size. In 1267 Bartholomew de Studley acquired a market at Dassett, and it seems likely that Northend and Southend together made up the settlement known as Chipping Dassett. <4> The M40 will cut a swathe 75m wide across the W side of Dassett Southend and the building of a bridge for the present road will cause further damage. Excavation began in May 1986 and will last until motorway construction begins in Spring 1988. The original settlement was around the parish church (PRN 656). The 12th and 13th centuries saw a shift of settlement downhill to the sites at Southend and Northend. After foundation in 1264 the market prospered and in the early 14th century Burton Dassett had the third highest number of taxpayers in Warwickshire.

It is about 13m across at the top and has very steep sides 5 to 6.7m above the ditch which is formed round it. There is a small bailey on the N side enclosed by a high bank and on the S is an enclosure 20-23m across with a somewhat irregular bank. The whole surface of the enclosed area is much broken, presumably by people digging for stone. The buildings of Ratley village may have been built out of stone from the castle. The motte must have been crowned by a timber tower, the S enclosure is possibly the site of later buildings, the bailey being too small to contain them in the usual way. Turchil the Saxon owned Ratley and he or one of his sons may well have been responsible for the castle. <3> Small motte with double bailey. <4> Excavation showed that the bailey had been damaged by later quarrying. A dry stone wall was located within the bailey bank and a tumble of stone in the motte ditch. Finds of 12th/13th century pottery and Roman sherds (PRN 6144). <5> A section across rock cut bailey ditch produced no dating evidence. Ditch appears to have been filled soon after construction. Almost the whole area of the NW bailey under excavation. Stone footings of a possible entrance tower, post holes and beam slots located. Pottery is almost all unglazed cooking pot. Finds include a 12th/13th century spur and a gilt bronze ornamental strip. Section across motte ditch is almost complete, with traces of a bridge structure with one stone from a moulded arch. More Romano British pottery. <6> Further excavation suggests that a gap in the bailey is later than the castle. The Medieval entrance may have consisted of a flying bridge at this point. Examination of bailey bank indicates possible timber laced structure. More post holes and beam slots in the bailey. Finds include a barrel-padlock and key from door of square building and 12th century pot. A piece of cooking pot from build-up material of motte may indicate that the motte is secondary. <7> Occupation layer and hearth under the motte may indicate that the motte is secondary. <9> The small northern bailey might be a battery emplacement. <10> The site was in good order and the management agreement adhered to. <11> Management agreement concluded in 1990 (see FI file). <12> The excavation has provided evidence suggesting that the castle was occupied for a short period in the C12th.

Documentary and evidence from excavation shows that the landscaped park, which surrounds Warwick Castle, dates to the Post Medieval and Imperial periods.","<1> Warwick Castle Park. An 18th century park and river landscape around the Medieval castle, c.320 ha. The park extends for c75 ha on the N side of the River Avon, mainly to the W and SW, and for c255 ha on the S side, stretching 2.2 km S of the Castle. Capability Brown was called in by Francis Lord Brooke in 1749, and his work of landscaping continued until at least 1761. Though Brown's plantings have been thickened and extended, his essential plan remains. In 1869 Robert Marnock designed a remarkable work of formal bedding, the five-sided parterre garden in front of the Orangery. This has been maintained virtually unchanged since it was laid out. The northern area of the Park, Temple Fields, had been granted to the Knight Templars as a manor by the 12th century. In the early 17th century the area of Lodge Wood, including the Warren, were bought up by John Spier. By the end of the 17th century the central part including the Warren and Temple Fields was in one ownership, the Greville family, and a system of avenues was laid out through this land, taking the Castle Mount, which was the centrepiece in the Castle gardens, as the focus for the avenues in the park. In 1743 the Castle Park was created in order to replace Wedgnock Park as the deer park for the Brooke estate. The aim was to create a park for pleasure and profit, based on contemporary aesthetic principles. The relationship with the castle was strengthened by removal of field boundaries, and the creation of drives in order to enjoy the Park. Views were introduced by means of planting. <2> Plans contained in Historic Landscape Study of Warwick Castle Park. <3> Archaeological Observation of the construction of a new path south of the Castle mound over the site of the backfilled Medieval ditch, revealed made up ground of propable 18th century date.

After the 1988 work, development plans were modified to preserve the best deposits; the later phases of archaeological work therefore dealt with the less well preserved deposits.

An ancient river course with four distinct channels.

Most significantly there are also stone tools: four handaxes, a cobble tool, a scraper and two flakes; only one of the flakes was found in situ (in the earliest channel - about 500 000 years old). Three of the handaxes are made from a non-local material, the nearest source for which is in Wales.

This includes mention of the discovery, in 2004, of a further andesite handaxe on the pit floor, by the pit manager. The Baginton Gravels at this pit have recently been re-dated to Marine Isotope Stage 13, and together with the sandy organic channel deposits lying below them form part of the Bytham River, which flowed from the Midlands eastwards to East Anglia prior to the Anglian glaciation. This early date makes the artefacts of even greater significance, as it shows unequivocally that handaxe technology in Britain had reached a high point in an occupation period that preceded the Anglian (c.478-423 kyr BP). It also corroborates the observation that quality in Acheulian biface technology is no indication of age; much cruder handaxes may be seen from sites within the range MIS 11 to 6. Subsequently a closer look at the gravels recorded 100 more artefacts. One more andesite handaxe was recorded. The rest of the assemblage was manly comprised of exhausted cores. These finds are from the part of the pit that does not expose the Bytham channel gravels, thus indicating that the scatter of artefacts is not confined to the channel itself, but spreads laterally away from it. The in situ nature of the deposits is hard to judge; so it is is difficult to ascertain whether this relates to a relatively narrow chronological band, or a palimpsest of activity over hundreds of years.","MWA7249","Bubbenhall, Warwick, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","FINDSPOT, OCCUPATION SITE","","SP 36572 71388" "725","The possible site of a windmill 600m E of Priors Marston Church.","MON","The possible site of an undated windmill, suggested by sources that cannot be verified.

Some documentary evidence for development, including Miller's diaries 1749-50. Features include: cascade c1740, Egge Cottage 1743-4, Edge Hill Tower slightly later, gatehouse and artificial ruins (not extant) 1750. Estate remained in Miller family until 1916, with added features including obelisk (1854).

The largest part of the settlement, including the fishponds and possible moat, lies in the fields opposite Wishaw Hall Farm, east of Grove Lane, but it is likely that the settlement originally also extended west of the Lane, under the farm and to the south and west. Up until the 1970s the remains east of the lane survived as earthworks. The possible moat is shown as an L-shaped ditch in the northern corner of the field on the 1887 OS 1:10560 map. The earthworks were surveyed in 1969. The moat was interpreted as part of the fishpond complex (WA 6124). The survey also identified a series of rectilinear enclosures to the east and south. In 1972 pottery was observed within the possible moat. The former earthworks were fieldwalked in 1980-1 and a total of 76 sherds of Medieval pottery were collected with concentrations around the possible moat and on the southern of the site (Refs WH 80 1-4, WH 81 5-7). It was suggested that the concentrations represented dwellings. <2> Fieldwalking by the OAU in 1992 found further scatters of medieval pottery on the west side of Grove Lane opposite Well Cottage and north west of Shepherd's Cottage suggesting that the Medieval settlement may also have extended over this area and that of the farm. <3> An evaluation was carried out by the OAU in 1993 in advance of possible road construction in order to investigate the hypothesis of an extensive planned 13th century settlement around Wishaw Hall Farm. Trial trenching produced relatively little evidence for occupation, and it was clear that severe truncation of the remains east of the fishponds had taken place. The paucity of evidence also suggested that settlement had not actually been developed in all of the possible eastern plots, or in the area opposite Well Cottage. However, the trenches did reveal the fishponds (MWA 6124) and possible moat (MWA 55). <4> Trial trenching carried out as part of the Birmingham Northern Relief Road project uncovered something of the layout and functionality of the former fishponds including water supply channels, ""stews"" - distribution/storage ponds, possible breeding ponds, one of which may have had a netting facility for keeping herons and other predators at bay, remains of timber structures and a building that may have served as an open-fronted shed or workshop. A series of ditches south west of the fishponds may represent tenement boundaries. <5> In Domesday Book, the recorded population of the villa of Wishaw is 3 villani and 4 bordarii. This suggests settlement dispersion by the late 11th century, and possibly the development of hamlets. A priest is mentioned in Domesday Book; they could have ministered in a private chapel in a manor-house complex, or in a church on a different site to the existing one. The manor-house could have been the moated site in the earthworks at Wishaw Hall Farm. The isolated church could have been built in the 13th century to serve a number of scattered settlements. <6> The fishpond complex, field boundaries and a medieval building were recorded during excavations in advance of construction of the M6 toll. A number of ponds were recorded, as detailed under MWA6124. The foundation trench for a rectangular building aligned north-south was located.There were no postholes at the trench terminals suggesting that it was probably of timber-framed cruck or box-frame construction in a beam slot, with a timber-framed thatched roof.The building was found with relatively large amounts of domestic refuse, and is a similar size range to those at Burton Dassett Southend. The structure is possibly a timber-framed Midlands 'fish house' providing accomadation for both fish-keeper and equipment. A number of field and property boundaries were also recorded.

The house was extended to the west, shortly after it was completed, this extension being removed post 1938. Stephen's brother William (1773-1849) was an amateur artist, and may have been responsible for the laying out of the grounds at Ryton; he spent his latter years at Ryton House. Following Stephen Freeman's death, the house was owned in turn by his nieces, the last Miss Freeman (d.1895) leaving the property to her nephew, Charles Browett. It remained in this family's ownership until after the second WW when it became a British Legion Club. NW of the house are some outbuildings dating in part from the 1850's. To the S of the house, originally overlooked by the dining room, lies a level lawn, the site of the flower garden. This is backed by mature specimen trees and evergreen shrubberies, within which is the site of a pond and fountain as shown by the 1st edition OS (1886). A sketch plan for this area dating from c1810 survives. To the N of the house, beyond the drive, is a stone terrace wall, formerly decorated with urns. At the eastern end, an iron gate provides access to the paddock which lies beyond. This is shown as occupied by two house-cows on a watercolour by William Freeman, c1840.

The water flows away from the tank through three mutilated masks, one of which wears a curled wig. <2> A small colony of Black Monks from the Abbey of Rowcester (Staffs) was located at Holy Well, Southam, their cell being in close proximity to a powerful spring.

The house was originally made up of a main block one room deep with two projecting wings. <2> The Grade I Listed Charlecote Park House was begun in 1558 for Sir Thomas Lucy. It was restored and enlarged c1829 and c1847-67. A number of important outbuildings and other structures are attached, including the Grade I Listed gatehouse (1558), 16th century stables and a brewhouse, lodges and a mid 19th century orangery. The house was surrounded by a deer park and formal gardens in the Post Medieval period and by a landscape park from the 18th century onwards. <3> Charlecote has been in the hands of the Lucy family since the 12th century but the history of the present house began in 1551 when Thomas Lucy inherited the estate. The early house was an old demense-house of wood and stone and was demolished by Thomas Lucy. According to Dugdale the present house was built in 1559-60 but it is uncertain if this is the date of completion or instigation. Others such as the VCH suggest it was built in 1558. Alterations to the west wing in 1999-2000 revealed elements of original 16th century building work including timber framing on the second floor and parts of early doorsways behind panelling in the main staircase on the ground floor ans first floor after removal of 19th century stud walls and temporary removal of 18th century panelling. The removal of the sprial staircase in the north-east turret revealed make up of the plaster ans areas of internal brickwork and segmental brick arches above the doorways.

It is located 600m west of the church, Chesterton.","<1> In 1922 a quantity of potsherds were reported during the laying of a water-pipe on the N side of Ewe Fields Farm. Several short trenches were dug, gradually working back up the hill, and at a depth of about 0.7m a large number of tesserae 1 cm square were found. The excavation was extended in all directions for several yards, but no pavement was found in position. Often three or four cubes were found together, and one fragment with fourteen, which showed two curved lines coming together, was found. There were three kinds of tesserae - white and grey local limestone and red tile. No foundations of walls, but on either side at a distance of about 3.9m the small tesserae gave place to larger ones. A large number of pieces of coarse pottery were also found. <2> Fragments of a coarse hand-made pot from Chesterton. <3> Photo of cooking pot. <4> The site is under permanent grass and there are no surface indications. There have been no recent finds. <5> In the course of site excavations of a new house fronting Church Lane and adjacent to Ewe Fields Farm, a quantity of Romano British material was found in 1980. The tile fragments include tegulae and imbrices and a piece of combed flue tile; also two large tesserae cut from tiles. The pottery included red colour coated Oxfordshire bowls but mainly consisted of light grey kitchen wares. Three coins were reported to the County Museum (Claudius II, Tetricus I, Constantius II). It is evident that this material derives from the nearby villa. <6> Note. <7> Iron Age coin -'Dobunni' billon unit - found in July 1994 during an excavation by WART. The coin was found under a Roman wall. <8> Excavations in advance of the excavation of a slurry pit on the site of a known Roman villa exposed a north-south range c12m wide. Along its eastern side was a corridor 2.8m wide floored with a three-colour mosaic, provisionally dated to 4th century. A central lozenge containing a foliage pattern was surrounded by triangular panels with foliage and fruit; to the south was a rectangular panel with five pelta/leaf shapes, and south again was a fragment of another panel, mostly destroyed. The mosaic was cut by two later hearths, and the eastern wall of the corridor had been expanded over it. The room to the west was 6.3m across, no floor levels survived. The mosaic has been protected and reburied. <9> Excavation photograph 1995. <10> A programme of geophysical survey has been carried out in the parish of Chesterton and Kingston, about 4 miles from Leamington Spa. In 1991 survey was carried out within the known Roman town enclosure and in 1992-3 a further survey in surrounding fields revealed Roman activity over a larger area than previously known. <11> In 1990 two small trenches revealed rubble spreads and Roman pottery. <12> Location plan for ref <11>. <13> The full information for the above excavation is not available so the precise nature of features and finds is unknown. <14> The gradual disclosure of a Roman Villa of corridor type, terraced, with associated partly destroyed mosaic pavements. These pavements were cut by later hearths, pits and a kiln. Finds included an early Roman coin, painted wall plaster, pottery, broken querns, roof and hypocaust tiles, various functional, recreational and decorative objects made of bone, jet, copper, iron and glass. <15> Excavation within the Ewefields Farm Dutch barn in 2000 uncovered the remains of a probable extension of the villa buildings, and a sequence of rebuilding to a hypocaust above a stone drain, floored with teracotta tiles, and full of silt. <16> Scheduled as an Ancient Monument 7th June 2001.

Building may originally have been an observatory. Said to have been designed by Inigo Jones. It is in his style and of his period although there is no documentary evidence to support the suggestion. The lower storey is pierced with six arched openings. On the first floor are two pairs of stones, and above the second floor are the windshaft and principal gearing. Further details of building structure given. <6> Sir Edward Peto was very interested in mathematics and may have designed the mill himself. <7> A document in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust describes the building as a windmill in 1647.

The park now incorporates elements of 17th and 19th century landscape design. It is located to the north of Clopton.","<1> A deerpark is recorded at Clopton in 1564. Shown on Speed's map of 1610. Possibly created in c.1540 when common fields at Clopton were enclosed. Traces of possible park pale survive on east and west sides of the park surrounding well preserved relict ridge and furrow. Clopton House was rebuilt in c.1665 and there is evidence that further landscaping took place at this time, involving creation of avenues to the east, west and possibly to the south of the house, gardens around the house, possibly garden terraces east of the house and creation of a group of three ornamental fishponds. The park was extended by Charles Warde between 1843 (shown on a map Shakespeare Birthplace Trust - DR/287/43) and 1865 when Charles Warde died. The park was extended to the north and east, Clopton Tower (WA 1034) was built, the gardens around the house were extended and extensive planting of existing avenues and new belts took place. This phase of expansion is shown on the 1886 OS 1st edition 6' map. In recent times the southern part of the park has been covered by housing development. <2> Also notes existence of a ha-ha, kitchen garden and walled garden. The house was split into flats in 1982 and the land is under development threat. Recommended for inclusion on Local List. <3> Rolling parkland surrounding house forms important open space for Stratford. There are several walled enclosures east of the house which were probably gardens developed in the 17th century, but there is little documentary evidence of the form which the gardens took, except for an illustration showing the lawn and drive to the front of the house c1800 (reproduced in source). The park was neglected in the early 19th century, when the park was let, but was sold in 1831 to George Lloyd of the neighbouring Welcombe estate.

St Giles Church, the churchwarden's cottage and the northern half of the church cemetery are totally excluded from the scheduling. <8> The moated platform was a garden feature which had bridges crossing over the moat with a pathway around the edges of the platform and a pond in the centre, now infilled. The foundations of a bridge over the moat were located on its west side. These were gradually becoming overgrown with trees. At ground level approximatly 30cm of soil had gradually slipped from the moat from the platform, covering wahat looks like a cobbled pathway, which encircled the pathway. The lower levels have survived remarkably well. Mortar bonding the stones together has survived intact. Sandstone blocks had been cut to shape and inserted in each north-south corners. The condition of stone work on the east bridge supports is good. A number of inserts cut into the stonework on the east supports were possibly for inserting timbers to support the bridge. There is no evidence of this being a drawbridge. Within the last two years, the north east end of the moat has suffered serious erosion from animals and the weather. This is exposing large cut blocks of limestone with layers of smaller pieces of limestone above and held together with mortar. Evidence of ceramic roof tile, pottery, glass and broken quern stone can be seen protruding from both sides of the bank which suggests the possibility of a building within the vicinity.

The wall foundations revealed in the extension trenches appear to belong to a building range running south-west to north-east, at least 11m long and at least 5m wide, and containing at least two rooms. The diagonal channel across the northeastern room seems to belong to a channelled hypocaust, suggesting that the room had underfloor heating and the quantities of painted plaster from the demolition layers (over 200 fragments) indicate that it had elaborately decorated plastered walls. The demolition layers also produced roof tile and a fragment of window glass which also indicate that this was a high status building, probably the main dwelling house of the villa. The walls identified in 1998 were on broadly similar alignments but will probably belong to other buildings in the villa complex.

Many features were removed in the late 18th century when the house was extended. Site still contains parkland, lake, drive, lodge, pleasure grounds with walks and mixed planting, and kitchen garden. Recommended for inclusion on Parks and Gardens Register. <2> A site of considerable significance in the development of 18th century garden design. Lady Luxborough was banished to Barrells by her husband in 1736 and set about the creation of an ambitious garden under the guidance of William Shenstone. References occur in the early 1750s to a ha-ha, serpentine garden, lower garden, hermitage, lime walk, shrubberies, aviary, statues and urns. <3> One of the sites recommended for inclusion on the Parks and Gardens Register as a result of the Review. The estate had been in the family of Lord Luxborough (the Knights) since the 16th century. Lady Luxborough, confined there by her husband from 1736, made it the centre of a literary coterie, and, from the 1740s onwards, embarked on a transformation of the grounds. Correspondence with her mentor, William Shenstone, survives, and demonstrates that Lady Luxborough's garden was an example of the 'ferme ornee' of which Shenstone was a chief proponent, containing features such as a hermitage, grotto, pavilion with shrine to Venus, and roothouse, as well as urns, an aviary, bowling green and a kitchen garden. It should therefore be regarded as complementary to Shenstone's own garden at the Leasowes. Later in the century Lord Luxborough constructed a mausoleum for himself (this was demolished in 1830). The house was extended by the next Lord Luxborough; many of the 18th century features were removed at this time, and a new scheme by Humphry Repton proposed. This was apparently only partially executed, if at all, and the estate fell into disrepair in this period. The land has changed hands several times in the 20th century and a serious fire in 1933 led to the demolition of much of the house. Parkland features are still visible, though much of the land is in agricultural use; observations suggest that remains of many of the 18th century features may be recoverable.

The house was built on a new site 1854-5 for Thomas Aloysius Perry, one of the partners of Knight & Perry's nurseries, Chelsea, also known as 'The Exotic Nursery' because it specialised in rarities and exotica. Both Knight and Perry retired in 1853 and retired to Avon Dassett, where the Knight family (into which Perry had married) appear to have already held part of the Bitham House estate (further land was acquired in the mid 1850s). The architect of the house is not known, but Perry designed the grounds himself. Features include a drive, a pool (probably the site referred to in 1891 as the 'Rustic Garden'), terraced lawns and parkland, a large walled kitchen garden, and the Grade II Listed glasshouse. The grounds are distinguished by their walks and by the quality of the planting, particularly the wide range of specimen deciduous and coniferous trees (Knight & Perry had co-authored a well regarded book on conifers in 1850).

Recommended for addition to Parks & Gardens Register. <2> The Archers held Umberslade manor from the 12th century onwards, but during the 16th and 17th centuries increased their landholding. The park is not shown on Speed's map of 1610 but probably existed by 1630. The existing manor house was rebuilt 1693-8 for Andrew Archer.The late 17th century house, itself of architectural significance, was accompanied by formal gardens, some parts of which are shown in an illustration of 1731 [reproduced]. Beighton's map of 1725 shows that the monumental avenue already existed by this date. The formal gardens were removed in the 1740s and a landscape park, influenced by the ferme ornee style, laid out (designer not known). Features of this phase included a summerhouse (not extant), obelisk (outside the park), and lake. But in the late 18th century the house ceased to be occupied by the family, and much of the park had been turned over to agriculture by 1815. From the mid 19th century onwards a new phase of landscaping took place, making use of surviving features of earlier schemes. The main entrance to the house was shifted to the east side, and a new avenue planted to flank its drive. Formal gardens were laid out across the old west front, the kitchen garden was restored, and there was extensive 19th century planting in the pleasure grounds and park. The 19th century layout has been altered by the late 20th century conversion into flats, with the entrance being returned to the west side, thus cutting across the formal gardens. Part of the land has been returned to agricultural use and the avenue is somewhat overgrown. Umberslade is a significant site with the potential for further detailed study, as the Archer archives (held at the Shakespeare Birthplace Record Office) are extensive.

Terraces south of house are probably 17th century, remodelled c1925 by Morley Horder. 20th century planting by Kitty Lloyd Jones. Temple Pool and temple possibly by Sanderson Miller (1745). <2> Upton House was built 1695, incorporating an earlier house, and several times enlarged thereafter. A formal layout surrounded the 17th century house, and several rectangular pools survive from that period. In the mid 18th century landscaping was carried out, possibly by Sanderson Miller, and this work included the Temple Pool. Significant works were carried out by Percy Morley Horder on the house in the early 20th century, and at the same time new formal gardens were laid out on terraces south of the house; these include planting and special features such as the bog garden by Kitty Lloyd Jones. National Trust property since 1948. <3> An estate plan of 1774 survives; this shows a number of features which had probably survived from the 1688 formal layout by Sir Rushout Cullen, including terraces, the remains of an avenue, a formal kitchen garden and rectangular fishponds. One of the ponds houses the present bog garden, and late 17th/ early 18th walls and other structures still survive - the brick gardener's house was probably a late 17th century garden banqueting house. By 1774 landscaping work had taken place elsewhere in the park, notably the creation of the northern avenue, and of the Temple Pool and Tuscan Temple (probably by Sanderson Miller): the Temple originally stood at the north end of the pool, and was flanked by chains of smaller pools. The estate was neglected in the 19th century and photographs show the gardens in an overgrown condition. The early 20th century creation of formal gardens took place within the framework of the earlier gardens, though some new terraces were created. The plant specialist Kitty Lloyd Jones was responsible for much of the detailed work in the gardens in the 1930s, including the creation of the bog garden. Upton is the only example of a garden designed and planted by Kitty Lloyd Jones which is in the care of the National Trust, and is one of an important group of Warwickshire sites at which Percy Morley Horder worked. <4> Some garden and landscape features, including the remains of an avenue, are visible on the OS 1:10560 1886 Sht Warks 52SW. <5> There are few changes visible on the OS 1:10560 1928 Sht Warks 52SW.

Recommended for addition to Parks and Gardens Register. <2> There has probably been a manor house on this site since the 12th century. The Mordaunt family acquired the estate in 1541, but did not make it their principal residence until the late 17th century. Shortly afterwards a new house was built in the early 18th century. There is no evidence of a park at this date; the early 18th century house appears to have been set in formal gardens with an outlying terrace drive. In the mid to late 18th century a series of alterations were made; these included the construction of the Bath House (1740s, probably by Sanderson Miller), the reconstruction of the old church (1750s), and the creation of serpentine walks (1740s) and a lake north west of the house (1780s-90s). Early 19th century work may have included the creation of a formal terrace and a ha-ha around pleasure grounds. However, this has to some extent been concealed within extensive mid to late 19th century works associated with and following the reconstruction of the house in 1858. The later 19th century gardens included formal parterre terraces, shrubberies, walks, kitchen gardens, summerhouse and conservatory, and a new bridge over the river. Substantial planting also took place, and much of this survives. The Mordaunts died out in 1947 and the house was in use by the army until 1962, subsequently becoming a school and then a hotel. The overall quality of the surviving estate is good, and features such as the Bath House are particularly fine.

It was attached to Shuckburgh Hall. The deer park is marked on several maps, the earliest dating to 1822.","<1> A park existed in 1600. It contained about 120 acres and there was a herd of 200 deer. <2> The park still contains deer and is empaled by a high fence. No remains of an earthen bank were seen. <3> Land is now agricultural. Thorough site investigation not undertaken. It is essential to ring Sir C Shuckburgh before making a visit. <4> Deer park existed c1600 around early 16th century house. Gardens/ park remodelled in late 18th century, with further alterations c1860, esp to pleasure grounds west of house. Rock garden c1850 inspired by Crimean War. Other features include octagonal pond, conservatory, kitchen garden, lodge, drive. Recommended for addition to Parks and Gardens Register. <5> The estate has been in the same family since the 13th century, and the grounds reflect that continuity. The present house is of late 15th or early 16th century origin, though several times altered, and there is evidence to suggest that the neighbouring village was shifted as early as 1518. However, the park, though possibly recorded c1600, is not marked on Speed's map of 1610. But it was certainly in use in the 1640s and is marked as a 'new park' on Beighton's map of 1725. A plan of the park from 1706 exists and its development has been the subject of recent research. An illustration of c1800 [reproduced in source] appears to contain features, such as two obelisks and the octagonal pond, which are characteristic of late 17th/ early 18th century formal landscapes.

Almost certainly recorded in the 1279 Hundred Rolls, the wood can probably be identified with one of the two woods recorded in Domesday Book 1086. It may also be the Munechet (a Celtic wood name) of c.1250; if so, it may have existed c.500 AD. There is a woodbank c.8 m wide on much of the east, north and west edges of the wood; by comparison with woodbanks from Birchley and New Close Woods (qv) and East Anglia (Oliver Rackham, Trees and Woodland in the British Landscape 1990), it is likely to be of at least Medieval date. The southern edge had, prior to 1996 when much of it was bulldozed, a bank with an internal ditch which was probably the Medieval deer park bank of Brandon to the south. This extends along the north edge of Brandon Wood to the east. The bank is also a parish boundary bank. Within the wood there is an undated oval enclosure of c..4 ha within the northern edge; 6 probable sawpits; domestic refuse pits associated with the site of a late 18th/early 19th century gamekeepers lodge at the south-western corner; a number of undated pits and a small quarry; natural and/or man-made ditch systems; and several probably natural shallow hollows. The structure and composition of much of the wood is indicative of its ancient status. There is extensive ancient coppice of small-leaved lime Tilia cordata, with stools up to 5m in diameter, and sessile oak Quercus petraea, much of it former coppice with surviving stools up to 2 m in diameter. Both these species are generally relict species in the lowlands, largely confined to ancient woods. Coppice stools of this size are ancient monuments in themselves. Lime is particularly susceptible to grazing and its presence in quantity here is probably an indication that the wood has been an enclosed coppice wood with very restricted or no grazing throughout its recorded history. Much of the ground vegetation (e.g. wood anemone Anemone nemorosa) also consists of species largely restricted to ancient woods in this area. <2> Presence of extensive old small-leaved lime coppice supports a Medieval date for the wood and may indicate a direct link with prehistoric wildwood. <3> A ditched and banked boundary was identified during a walkover survey prior to a proposed water pipeline.","MWA8763","Binley Woods, Rugby, Warwickshire","PAR","Woodland","MANAGED WOODLAND","","SP 38610 76940" "8764","Binley Common Wood","WDL","Binley Common Wood, a Medieval (and probably earlier) managed woodland; former grazed common wood.

Despite ambiguities in the record, this is probaby one of the two woods recorded in Domesday Book 1086. It was probably a grazed common wood until the mid-18th century, when it was finally enclosed and converted to coppice. The northern edge of the wood is defined by a straight bank and external ditch, around 3m in width. The northern quarter of the wood has straight, relatively narrow and probably late-18th century to early-19th century ridge and furrow throughout, with a large pond cut through it and therefore post-dating it. The woodbank dividing this section of the wood from the southern three-quarters and along the southern edge of the wood are straight, 5-6 m in overall width (including the wood ditch) and currently not dateable. It is possible that the northern woodbank represents the edge of a 13th century ""trench"", a clearing cut back from the wood to protect travellers using the road to the north but it is not possible to prove this. The presence of coppice stools of ash Fraxinus excelsior up to 1.5 m in diameter on both woodbanks delimiting the southern three-quarters of the wood suggests that they are likely to be at least of 18th century origin. The western edge of the wod has a ditch but no bank; up to at least the mid-20th century there appear to have been two parallel ditches along this edge of the site. The eastern edge has no boundary features, apart from a metal fence erected 1998/9. The northern quarter of the wood is elm Ulmus procera / ash Fraxinus excelsior / sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus, probably planted c.1820-1830. The southern three-quarters is semi-natural hazel Corylus avellana - pedunculate oak Quercus robur woodland, much of which is being invaded by ash and sycamore moving south from the northern part of the wood. Of particular historical significance are three coppice stools of small-leaved lime Tilia cordata in the south-western corner and a clone of service tree Sorbus torminalis, both largely relict species confined to ancient woods. Much of the ground vegetation also consists of plants with an affinity for ancient woods in the area. The former history of grazing has strongly influenced the structure of the wood and probably also the composition, despite more than two centuries since grazing ceased and the wood was enclosed. <2> Presence of extensive old small-leaved lime coppice supports a Medieval date for woodland and may indicate a direct link with Prehistoric wildwood.

The 18th century accounts show that it was then a coppice wood which produced above-average sized and priced oak timber for the area. 18th century map evidence suggests that it may formerly have been part of Binley Common. The woodbank along the north-western and northern edges of the accessible western portion of the surviving remnant of the site appears unlikely to be ancient. It is small (3.5 m across bank and ditch) and straight. The internal ditch may be a late grip. The complexity of the tree communities belies the evidence of earthworks and known history suggesting it was of recent origin in the mid-18th century.

The woodland management may date back to the Medieval period or earlier.","<1> A complex of ancient coppice woods of 95 ha. These woods appear to be recorded from at least the 12th century. They all seem to have been subject to common grazing rights; disputes generated unusually informative documentation. The woods were progressively enclosed for coppicing from the 14th century, as common grazing rights were restricted or abolished. By the 18th century, Birchley and New Close Woods were conventional coppice woods, although the Grove may have produced timber only. (In the 11 years 1769-1779 the Grove produced 24% of all timber from the Craven Estates in the area.) By the time of the decline in traditional coppice management in the mid-to-late 19th century, all the woods were probably coppice woods. New Close Wood is almost entirely surrounded by a large, often sinuous, woodbank, around 8m in overall width. The Medieval documentation suggests that this was probably constructed in 1355/6, although it almost certainly replaced an earlier woodbank. Much of the periphery of Birchley Wood has a slightly smaller and flatter woodbank, although in part the boundary earthwork, if any, has been buried by modern ditching spoil. The documentation appears to show that this was constructed in 1500/1, specifically in order to make a coppice of the wood. The relationship of its earthworks to those of Birchley suggests that much of the outer woodbank of the Grove may also be of this date, although it has an inner, probably earlier, enclosure, roughly oval but damaged by later ditching. Much of the area of the Grove has a complex of pits and ditches which may be an early but undated brickworks. It is highly unusual to be able to date woodbanks and the evidence from these woods will allow tentative dating of the woodbanks of other woods in the area. More work is needed to establish a typography of woodbanks in Warwickshire. The tree communities are more varied than those of many ancient woods in the area, partly because of the wide variation in soil types, from sand to clay. The dominant woodland type is hazel-pedunculate oak Corylus avellana-Quercus robur but there is an unusual type of alderwood Alnus glutinosa in the southern edge of New Close Wood and extensive ash-maple Fraxinus excelsior-Acer campestre wood in the Grove, with large maple stools associated with clay soils and the probable brickworkings. The highly significant ancient woodland species small-leaved lime Tilia cordata occurs in both New Close Wood and Birchley Wood. The largest stand of lime, in Birchley, of around 3 ha, is unusually abrupt and angular in shape, with notable re-entrants, compared with the shape of lime stands elsewhere (e.g. Piles Coppice (qv)). Given the known history of these woods and lime's susceptibility to grazing, this may represent the shrinking remnant of limewood being progressively eaten away by stock but then left as a fossilised shape after effective enclosure had removed or limited the impact of grazing animals, protecting the lime from further destruction. The woods have a rich ground flora, with many plants of ancient woodland, partly as a result of the varied soils; those on clay are especially rich.","MWA8766","Binley Woods, Rugby, Warwickshire","PAR","Woodland","MANAGED WOODLAND, BRICKWORKS, WOOD BANK","","SP 40648 77962" "8767","Stoneythorpe Hall","BLD","Stoneythorpe Hall, a building dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with many later development phases.","<1> An initial study of the standing Hall building with the aim of establishing and dating its structural sequence.

Within the wood are two enclosures surounded by large woodbanks, with those around the enclosure to the west (henceforth referred to as A) more suinuous than those round the enclosure to the east (henceforth referred to as B). The woodbanks are typically around 7 to 10 metres, across both bank and external ditch. Smaller banks and ditches surround much of the rest of the wood. Shrubs and Forest Woods, in different parishes from Ryton, have large woodbanks on their side of the parish boundary where they abut on Ryton Wood. A particularly small and acute bank marks the wood-edge and parish boundary betwen the southern edge of enclosure B and Forest Wood. The two assarts or formerly cleared areas are surrounded by small, relatively straight banks; the northern assart has stubs or short pollarded trees on its northern boundary, perhaps from a former hedge planted to demarcate the assart. As is frequently the case, accurate dating of these banks is currently impossible. Their size does suggest that the largest are likely to be Medieval. (For details of evidence for the dating of woodbanks in Warwickshire, see the SMR entry on Birchley and New Close Woods.) This and their interconnection do suggest a sequence of construction, with either A (of about c.24-28ha) followed by B (of about 16ha), or A and B together coming first, and the smaller, less sinuous banks in the rest of the wood coming later, although some may have been inherited from an earlier land-use. The assarts represent efforts to create fields out of parts of the wood at unknown dates. Their relatively small size and straightness suggests that they are late, perhaps Post Medieval. The very small acute bank between the edge of b and Forest Wood is almost certainly 18th or early 19th century; a map of 1763 (WCRO Lord John Scott estate 1763 Z8 22/1-3) shows a large wood in Stretton parish extending south from this edge of Ryton Wood, which is the parish boundary. 19th century Ordnance Survey maps from c.1830 show Forest Wood and the dge of Ryton Wood as they are today. The reasoning is complicated by the evidence of the vegetation. Areas of ancient small-leaved lime Tilia cordata coppice are not, as might be expected from its usual behaviour as a relict species in British ancient woodland, restricted to the areas of the wood demarcated by the largest and therefore probably oldest banks and ditches.

The earthworks consist of large woodbanks and ditches around the two areas of probable ancient woodland, Tylers Grove to the north and Ladbrookpark Coppice to the south. Between and around these old woods are areas of woodland overlying ridge and furrow of varying sizes, probably dating from the medieval or post-medieval periods up to the 18th century and demarcated by woodbanks of varying sizes. The coppice wood known as Ladbrookpark Coppice is divided into three separate compartments by large banks and ditches. A wood account for Tanworth of 1403-4 notes £20 received for all wood growing ""intra clausur' de Lodbrookes"" (Shakespeare Birthplace Trust Box 102 extra information). The account clearly identifies this site as a wood. After felling the wood was (again?) enclosed. The enclosing is recorded as three separate measurments, the ratios of which are very similar to the ratios of the lengths of the surviving woodbanks. They suggest a perch of between 16 and 18 feet, which is credible. The woodland perch could vary from 15.5 to 30 feet. The 18 foot perch was common throughout England and Wales and is recorded before 1600. In Binley, Warwickshire it was still used in the 18th century. If this reasoning is correct, it tells us that Ladbrookpark Coppice probably existed in very much its present shape and size in the early 15th century; that it was divided into three compartments at that time; and that the woodbanks probably date back to at least that date. It provides evidence of the size of perch that the medieval woodmen were using there. The survey of the earthworks also reveals other features, including a double-ditched deer park-type bank along the north edge of Tylers Grove; Tylers Grove may well be the Tylhous Grove of 1373 or 1374. As the deer park bank stretches along the length of Tylers Grove, including an eastern secondary extension to that wood (marked by large ridge and furrow), it may indicate that the addition to Tylers Grove existed by the time the deer park was created, which may have been c.1350. There is another stretch of deer park-type boundary along the east edge of Ladbrokpark Coppice. There is also a probable windmill mound, 30m across, which is now buried in woodland between Tylers Grove and Ladbrookpark Coppice in the area which was once a field called Windmill Naps. (In 1373 there was a Wynmelfelde hereabouts.) As windmills were often placed close to woods to channel the wind towards the mill in East Anglia, this mound may show that the wood (or both woods) and a functioning mill existed at the same time.Progressively smaller woodbanks mark the changing edges of the woods as trees probably crept out into underused farmland; a plan of 1707 appears to mark the small additional woodbank on the north edge of Ladbrookpark Coppice as ""The New Ditch"". 18th and 19th century documents show that much of the new woodland on ridge and furrow (apart from the possibly ancient Tylers Grove extension) arose around the end of the 18th century, at a time when, in general, more land was being brought into intensive cultivation throughout England. The two old coppice woods at Windmill Naps still, after two centuries, form islands of distinct woodland types, with plants like sessile oak Quercus petraea, hazel Corylus avellana, wood anemone Anemone nemorosa, common cowwheat Melampyrum pratense and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis still restricted to them within the complex. <2> Discussion and analysis in to the Windhill Naps earthwork complex, illustrated with plans. <3> Revised version.","MWA8771","Tanworth in Arden, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Woodland","MANAGED WOODLAND","","SP 09155 72283" "8772","Hobditch Coppice","WDL","Hobditch Coppice, a managed woodland dating from the Medieval period to the present.

There is a large holloway within the wood along its south west edge. A woodbank divides the wood into two more or less equal portions, although the two portions have been united for at least a century (large-scale OS maps, WCRO). The two portions of the wood were formerly called Hadley Kings Coppice and Arinley Coppice but had been amalgamated (and included a small former garden) by 1885, when the entire wood was called Arinley Coppice. The presence of a large stool of small-leaved lime Tilia cordata on the north-eastern edge and two service trees Sorbus torminalis at other points on the periphery, both species largely confined to ancient woods or woodland relict hedges, suggests that the wood may have colonised inwards from relict hedges when the arable was abandoned at an unknown date. The wood has many ground vegetation species which suggest it is ancient; much of the wood is on clay, which also partly explains its relatively rich flora.","MWA8774","Claverdon, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Woodland","MANAGED WOODLAND, RIDGE AND FURROW, HOLLOW WAY","","SP 18693 64309" "8775","Ettington Hall","MON","Gardens around Ettington Hall, which date to the Imperial period.","Information to be supplied by Warwickshire Gardens Trust","MWA8775","Ettington, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","GARDEN","","SP 26736 48732" "8777","Alscot Park Hydro-Electric Generating Station","MON","A hydro-electric power station built in 1912.

Whatever the case it is clear that when the De Montforts decide, either in the late 12th-century or in 1220 to develop trade in the area further by creating a new town based on the market it was the Henley site that they chose. The new town of Henley was laid out on either side of the main road with a series of long thin plots typical of medieval town planning, combining a maximum area with a minimum of valuable street frontage.

It was seriously damaged by fire in 1933. <3> Lord Luxboroughs son, Robert, had the hall enlarged by the architect Joseph Bonomi between 1792-94.

This loggia was removed following the sale of Barrells Hall (after 1855) to William Newton, a Birmingham industrialist, and a new entrance was constructed on the north side at the base of an octagonal tower. Bonomi’s original front door was made into a French window and the interiors remodelled. A conservatory or winter garden was added and acted as a new entrance hall. More alterations were carried out by William Newton’s son, THG Newton, including a new service wing to the east. <4> Barrells Hall has until recently (2003), survived as a roofless ruin. Building recording and a watching brief took place prior to, and during, the conversion of the house into a private home.

No interior fixtures or fittings remained though the derelict nature of the building did allow interpretation of the development of the building to be made.

Two cuttings were made: one sectioned the inner ditch, the other inconclusively explored a further section of it in an attempt to recover additional dating evidence. The section revealed a ditch 3.6m wide and 1.4m deep, dug as a somewhat irregular shallow U through natural strata of sand and gravel. Finds included a few fragments of Romano British pot and tile (PRN 5155) and a few pieces of horse teeth. With such a thin scatter of finds it was not possible to arrive at any definite conclusions as to the date of the ditch. <5> Observation of service trenches recorded considerable evidence for probable later prehistoric settlement in the form of pits and ditches. In the field to the south of the farm three of these features produced Iron Age pottery, and a Neolithic flint scraper was recovered from the plough soil. Trenches to the west of the barns revealed further probable later prehistoric features features and a Romano British feature which was dated by greyware pottery.

They may have represented three phases of building. Unfortunately there were no finds which could be directly linked with the wall’s construction and so a date had to be estimated. The walls may have been medieval in date because of their orientation on Meeting Lane, which probably followed a medieval street alignment. They may have formed the foundations for a timber-framed building such as those that still exist in the lane today and are built on low walls. However, the great depth of the foundations and the position of the site within the Roman defences suggested a Roman date.

As late as 1567 Edmund Fulwood of Tanworth granted certain lands to trustees for the support of a resident priest and the repair of the chapel, but by 1591 the chapel was 'decayed' and as such was among properties granted to the notorious land speculators Tipper and Dawe. <2> Document records a Chaplain of Nuthurst (1216-72) and priests are recorded in 1300 and 1329 and a chaplain in 1435.

The bishops wood was mentioned inccidentally in a survey of c.1170. The oxherds were to bring timber for their ploughs from the wood with the bishops wagon and oxen. A tenant held a croft under the wood. The bishop had a reeve and woodward. In surveys of c.1290 and 1299 there was a park. From the reference to an enclosed wood called the park I 1353, it seems that the wood had been emparked. From the late fifteenth-century survey of the manor of Fulbrook to the north it can be deduced that the park adjoined Fulbrook in the area of the present Hampton Wood. The park disappeared between 1549 and 1557. At some point before 1736, and the possibly in the medieval period, former former arable land with ridge and furrow characteristic of ploughing in the medieval period was added to the Wood. That area is surrounded on three sides by a wood bank which is well preserved in parts. There is evidence to suggest that three fields called Wood Hills on the estate map of 1736 were once wooded; in 197 Grove Field Farm included 'Hampton Wood hill grounds' and in the 1680s there are referances to grazing ""the old wood"". In 1736 and as late as 1846 the Wood was just over seventy acres in extent; the present area is about twenty-seven acres. Despite imparkment, the name Hampton Wode appeared in a manorial court role in 1453.

In the C18th/C19th a house called Tailors occupied the site of the now Middletown Farm. To the west of the modern farm house is building platforrm on which a cottage is marked on maps of the C18th and C19th centuries. Ditches define a rectangular enclosure to the west. A bank and ditch run south of the platform, the bank serving as a headland for ridge and furrow which runs down to a stream to the west. A slight rectangular mound which lies to the east of the ditch could mark the site of a building. The southern edge of the site is defined by a holloway. Beyond it lies an extensive ridge and furrow system. Presumably the enclosure occupied by the modern farm complex was also part of the manor house complex, however the amount of land even including this is rather restricted for such a major manor house, and it seems likely that the land to the south west of the farm was once part of the manorial enclosure. Another possibility is that the medieval manor house extended to the north across Middletown Lane.","MWA9999","Sambourne, Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire","PAR","Monument","MANOR HOUSE, STABLE, RIDGE AND FURROW","","SP 06601 62307"
