  • An Unusual Late-Medieval Timber-Framed Building at Harwich, Essex

    P J DruryARTICLEVernacular Architecture1984References: 2

    In the tradition of box-frame carpentry prevalent in southern and eastern England in the medieval period, the use of tie beams at each bay division linking the wallplates by means of lap dovetails is almost invariable. In this paper, a fragmentary building probably of late 14th century date, embedded in 40 West Street, Harwich, is described. In it a quite different method of counteracting the outward thrust of the roof, involving anchor beams, wa…

  • Joseph Rose Senior's Site Workshop at Audley End, Essex

    Open AccessP J DruryARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal1984References: 4

    Excavation within part of the former library at Audley End House, Essex, in 1979 brought to light debris from the plaster ceiling erected between 1753 and 1762, and much workshop debris relating to the decorative plasterwork executed throughout the new Great Apartments by Joseph Rose senior, to the designs of Robert Adam, in 1764-6. The latter material is used to demonstrate in detail the technology of decorative gypsum plasterwork. This is contr…

  • Aspects of the Origins and Development of Colchester Castle

    P J DruryARTICLEArchaeological Journal1982Cited by: 4References: 14

    The building history of Colchester Castle is reconsidered in the light of previously unpublished evidence from excavations, 1931 to 1977. The Norman castle is seen as a development from a late Saxon villa regalis, constructed in two phases, the first beginning c. 1074 × 1076 (by the crown) and the second c. 1101 (by Eudo Dapifer). It was strengthened in the mid-thirteenth century and maintained into the early fourteenth but thereafter declined, i…

  • A mid eighteenth-century floor at Audley End

    P J DruryARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology1982Cited by: 2References: 3

    A framed timber ground floor constructed over vaulted brick and stone ‘dry drains’ in 1763–4 is described. The reasons for the elaborate construction are considered, and the carpentry details are compared with those illustrated in contemporary craftsman’s copybooks. An appendix illustrates ‘Divers Manners of Scarfing Timber together’, published largely in the 18th century

  • An Early Saxon Settlement within the Romano-British Small Town at Heybridge, Essex

    P J Drury, Nicholas Wickenden et al.ARTICLEMedieval Archaeology1982Cited by: 1References: 9

    FIVE GRUBENHAUSER and a probable ground level building sited within the Romano-British small town at Heybridge are described. The associated Saxon pottery suggests that the settlement belongs to the first half of the 5th century, and there is evidence that late Romano-British pottery was in contemporary use. It is suggested that the Saxon settlers were involved either economically or militarily in the life of the late Roman town. The significance…

  • Excavations at a Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure, Orsett, Essex, 1975

    Open AccessJohn Hedges, David Buckley et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1978Cited by: 11References: 23

    The Causewayed Enclosure at Orsett, Essex, was trial trenched in 1975 to determine the state of site preservation and confirm its postulated Neolithic date and site sequence. The enclosure consisted of three incomplete circuits of discontinuous ditch with an associated timber palisade slot lying inside and concentric to the middle ditch. Within the interior was an oval post hole structure of a contemporary date. Quantities of Mildenhall style pot…

  • Investigations at Asheldham, Essex. An Interim Report on the Church and the Historic Landscape

    Open AccessP J Drury, Warwick Rodwell et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal1978Cited by: 5References: 6

    Excavations in the church and churchyard at Asheldham revealed a complex series of building phases preceding the existing structure. Domestic occupation of the middle and late Saxon periods was followed by a timber building, interpreted as a church, with associated graves. The early structures were built alongside and aligned on a Roman road, and the cemetery associated with the first (Norman) masonry church encroached on this road, causing its d…

  • Post-Medieval Brick and Tile Kilns at Runsell Green, Danbury, Essex

    P J DruryARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology1975

    The excavation of two kilns of late 17th-early 18th-century date is described. The range of products, and method of manufacture, are discussed in the light of an inventory of 1708

  • A Late 13th and Early 14th-Century Tile Factory at Danbury, Essex

    P J Drury, George Douglas Pratt et al.ARTICLEMedieval Archaeology1975Cited by: 5

    THE EXCAVATION of a practically complete medieval tile factory, in operation between c. 1275/85 and 1325/35, is described. The establishment comprised three buildings, interpreted as workmen's accommodation (A), a workshop (B), and a drying shed (C), together with two kilns, within a ditched roadside enclosure. The kilns were of the normal type, with two parallel flues; one had a walled stokepit reached by a tile staircase. The methods of tile ma…
