Early Water Management on the Lower River Itchen in Hampshire
This chapter focuses on Anglo-Saxon navigation on the lower reaches of the River Itchen between Southampton and Winchester. The origins of this medieval canal has long been a matter of academic debate. This watercourse, built by Bishop Godfrey de Lucy, underwent much research conducted by distinguished authorities such as the Victoria County History and Maurice Beresford. This chapter analyses charter-boundaries. The earliest charter for South St…
A zoomorphic horticultural urn from Gosport, Hampshire
A large ceramic urn with elaborate relief decoration was recently recovered in Gosport, Hampshire. It had been treated externally to imitate the stone urns used to contain shrubs and small trees in 17th- and early 18th-century formal gardens. This was only the second example of its kind known from Britain and its discovery in the backland of a small county town showed that such vessels were not restricted to high-status sites
Dartington Hall and the Development of the Double-Courtyard Design in English Late Medieval High-Status Houses
The paper traces the development of the double-courtyard design in high-status English residences during the late Middle Ages and early sixteenth century. Dartington Hall, Devon, is used as a case study in order to aid in the contextualization of the development. Excavations here carried out in 1962 by Platt and in the 1990s by the authors help to shed light on the date and development of the south court, which was mostly demolished in the sevent…
Archaeological excavations at Upper Lodge, Bushy Park, London Borough of Richmond, 1997–99
Excavations at Upper Lodge, Bushy Park, revealed a complex history to the site of this former royal hunting lodge. A series of walled compartments, entered through an imposing gate, surrounded the earlier lodge. This building was clearly of some substance. The original lodge was demolished in the late 17th or early 18th century. The demolition rubble contained the remains of a set of tin-glazed tiles of late 16th-/early 17th-century date depictin…
Horticultural Wares from Ham House, Surrey
An important collection of horticultural wares, plus two tin-glazed tiles depicting horticultural wares, have recently been recognized at Ham House. All date from the mid to late 17th century, and are given secure provenance by discovery by archaeology. They include two pieces of very rare horticultural urns with zoomorphic ornamentation. It is considered that these may be the first of their kind to be securely dated in the UK. This note reports …
The Archaeology of the Flowerpot in England and Wales, circa 1650-1950
Excavations at Castle Bromwich Hall gardens 1989–91
Research excavations were undertaken over three seasons at Castle Bromwich Hall (1989-91) as part of a larger project to test the application of archaeology to the restoration of historic gardens. This report deals with the results of the excavations.At least four main phases of garden design were discovered, overlying evidence for an earlier medieval demesne establishment. The earliest gardens probably dated from the 16th or early 17th century, …
Chemical changes in buried animal bone
Macroscopic chemical analysis of animal bone recovered from dated excavation contexts of known pH from Castle Bromwich Hall, West Midlands, UK, allows an assessment of the rate and effects of bone decomposition, and the evaluation of current models of chemical decay. The results show great variation, and it is suggested that factors such as mechanical disturbance have a more significant effect on the differential destruction of excavated bone ass…
An Evaluation of Archaeological Techniques Used at Castle Bromwich Hall, 1989-90
Excavation of an early eighteenth-century garden pond
This paper deals with the excavation of an 18th-century ornamental garden pond sited on a principal vista of a large walled garden belonging to Castle Bromwich Hall, the ancestral home of the Bridgeman family. The pond was made with substantial clay walls and a clay base to enable it to hold water on a sandy hill-top site. It contained an early example of a sophisticated exit sluice that enabled the pond to be drained down for maintenance. The po…
