Eight monuments and two events are recorded within the buffer. Immediately to the east of the site lies the possible medieval shrunken village of Adwick le Street/Bentley, which contains the site of a medieval moat. A little further to the southeast, post-medieval ridge and furrow has been recorded, though the area has since been built over. To the south of the site are the grade II* listed medieval church of St Lawrence, a medieval cross in the churchyard, which is a Scheduled Monument and grade II listed, and the site of Adwick Hall and garden. To the northeast of the site is a post-medieval corn mill, which is also grade II listed. The two events relate to recording during restoration of the corn mill. There is one Scheduled Monument within the buffer, the medieval cross in the churchyard of St Lawrence, noted above. Four listed buildings exist within the buffer. These comprise the grade II* church of St Lawrence, and grade II medieval cross and corn mill, noted above. Also within the church is a grade II listed Cholera memorial. One locally listed park is recorded in the southwest part of the buffer, Adwick Park, which is a municipal park previously forming the grounds of Adwick Hall. The Magnesian Limestone in South and West Yorkshire Aerial Photographic Mapping Project does not record any features within the site. Within the buffer, earthworks related to the medieval moat are recorded to the east of the site. Levelled post-medieval ridge and furrow is recorded throughout the buffer, particularly to the northwest, though in most cases this has been built over. Historic landfill data records an area of infilled ground to the north of the site at Mill Lane. Historic Environment Characterisation records the present character of the eastern half of the site as late 20th- century institutional buildings including a school and a council depot, with no legibility of the earlier strip enclosure landscape. The western half of the site is identified as residential, in an area which the 1854 OS map depicts a layout which may have developed as burgage plots along Village Street. There is probable fragmentary legibility of some older plot boundaries. Within the buffer, character areas comprise a variety of housing, industrial plots and schools. To the immediate east of the site are valley floor meadows, within the area of the possible deserted medieval settlement. There is fragmentary visibility of former landscape characters within the buffer, due to the concentration of modern development. The site currently comprises a developed area with brick and stone built barns and warehouse buildings, sea containers and concreted vehicle parking/loading areas. It is bounded on all sides by residential buildings. Cartographic/historic land use assessment: On the 1851 OS map the site comprises a series of strip fields and crofts associated with buildings located at the western side of the site, fronting onto Village Street and Mill Lane. The 1892 map depicted a T-shaped range of buildings at the northwest corner of the site, possibly barns, with two buildings to the south, one of which may have been a house, and an L-shaped probable barn range at the southwest corner. The fields in the southeast of the site had been amalgamated into a larger enclosure, with the southern part of the site being smaller enclosures, possible orchards and pasture fields. Between 1948 and 1955, a square building had been constructed at the northeast end of the site, fronting onto Mill Lane, shown as being enclosed within the current site boundary by 1961. At the western side of the site, the house and barns had been demolished and replaced with an occupation centre, and part of the northern range of barns had been modified, though the eastern end of the T-shape survived. By 1983 the northern part of the site was labelled council offices and council yard, and the occupation centre was marked Fernbank Special School, and had been extended to cover the eastern part of the site. Within the buffer, by 1854 a railway line had been constructed to the east of the site, with Adwick Mill located directly north of the site. The basic road pattern was established by this date, with the centre of the town focused www.archeritage.co.uk Page 2 of 5 Doncaster Local Plan: Archaeological Scoping Assessment around Village Street, which runs along the western boundary of the site. To the north of the site were fields, whilst to the south was the core of the town. Adwick Hall is marked on the 1854 map, but had been demolished by 1892. By 1966, the construction of houses had begun on Tenter Balk Lane, which by 1982 had expanded considerably northward. Survival: The site has been increasingly developed to the extent whereby the majority of the site contained buildings. A stone-built late 17th-century barn and dovecote survive in the northeast part of the site and are recorded as a heritage asset. It is probable that sub-surface deposits within the developed areas of the site have been truncated by the construction of buildings in the 20th century. Therefore, the potential for survival of archaeological deposits in the site is considered to be low, apart from within the yard area in the northern half, which has not been built over and has a moderate archaeological potential. The site is adjacent to a possible shrunken medieval village and it is possible that associated remains extend into the site. Further investigations: Further archaeological investigation may be required if the site is allocated for development. This should include an assessment of the significance of the standing historic barn and dovecote. Significance: The barn and dovecote could be considered to be of Local archaeological significance. Aerial Photographs& Lidar Summary: The 2002-2017 Google Earth aerial imagery showed the site as occupied by a range of buildings of different dates. The southern part of the site was occupied by school-type buildings, and a large Nissen-style hut is at the northeast corner of the site, with areas of tarmac hardstanding to the west. The northwest corner was occupied by smaller brick and stone buildings, at least one of which was shown in 1851. By 2018 a number of buildings relating to the former school in the southwest side of the site had been demolished. Street View shows a stone- built former barn and dovecote along the northern edge of the site towards the western end with an associated stone wall stretching further east and a later brick-built range to the west.

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

  • Settlement Profiles
    Settlement Profiles Local Plan Evidence Base www.doncaster.gov.uk Doncaster Settlement Profiles 1.1. As part of the emerging Local Plan, a Settlement Audit was undertaken in 2014 to better understand the service provision across the borough, which in turn helped to determine the Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy. This process is dealt with at length in both the Settlement Audit and the Settlement Background Paper. 1.2. However, some consultation responses to the Settlement Audit and the Homes and Settlements consultation intimated that the Settlement Audit could be further expanded on and clarified. 1.3. As such, the following profiles have been developed which seeks to provide portraits of each defined settlement within the borough (the Main Urban Area; 7 Main Towns; 10 Service Towns and Villages; and 12 Defined Villages). 1.4. Each portrait will expand on the results of the Settlement Audit, and will provide ‘profiles’ for each settlement, dealing with social, economic and environmental matters, as per the Settlement Audit. 1.5. Occasionally, some scores or information published in the Settlement Audit Update (2017) have been amended. These amendments and the rationale are presented overleaf in Table A. 1.6. Information about the Settlement Hierarchy and allocations within each settlement are provided in the Settlement Background Paper and Site Selection Methodology. For convenience, a number of abridged settlement profiles have also been provided in the Settlement Housing Summaries. 1 Settlement Amendment Rationale Change to Scores? Auckley – Settlement scores merged Settlement made up of two Scores now reflect the combined settlement proposed Hayfield Community Profile Areas so in the Settlement Hierarchy.
