The scheme comprises a new public entrance connecting Charterhouse Square to the Chapel Court and reconfiguration of the Chapel Court garden including hard and soft landscaping. The grave of Sir Walter De Manny within the garden would be enhanced and the foundations of the monastic chapel accentuated. Within the area for the Charterhouse Museum, partitions would be removed and new rooms created. An area would be landscaped in the Brother’s Garden to reveal the imprint of a monk’s cell in its walled enclosure. Landscape improvements to Charterhouse Square are also proposed. The site is located within the London Charterhouse, a Grade I listed (nationally significant) Carthusian monastery founded in AD 1371, and the earlier Black Death cemetery to the south. The site contains a number of listed buildings and lies within a local authority Conservation Area and archaeological priority zone. This desk-based study assesses the impact on buried heritage assets (archaeological remains). Although above ground heritage assets (historic structures) are not discussed in detail, they have been noted where they assist in the archaeological interpretation of the site. Buried heritage assets that may be affected by the proposals comprise: Buried later medieval remains associated with the Charterhouse, including buried remains of a mid-14th century chapel founded by Sir Walter De Manny within Chapel Court and the medieval monastic buildings. Such remains would potentially of high, possibly very high, heritage significance in light of its association with the designated Charterhouse buildings. There is also potential for remains of a 15th century chapel and hermitage within Charterhouse Square, of medium or high significance. Post-medieval remains associated with the post-Dissolution use of the Charterhouse as a large mansion house, of medium or high significance. Human remains associated with the known mid-14th century Black Death cemetery of ‘Spital Croft’ in the area of Charterhouse Square, of high significance. The potential for earlier archaeological remains is low. Whilst the area would have been attractive for prehistoric people there is little surviving evidence and it is likely that any remains formerly present have been removed by later development. The site was located outside of the main centres of settlement in the Roman and early medieval periods so there is a low potential for buried features of these dates. The impact of the proposals would depend on the nature and depth of proposed ground disturbance. Recent archaeological monitoring geotechnical works within Chapel Court revealed later post-medieval/Victorian made ground (dumping or backfill), of negligible heritage significance. It is likely that only shallow excavation would be required, in which case only low or negligibly significant remains may be affected. Despite the sensitivity of the site the proposed impacts will be localised and would mostly affect assets of low or negligible significance. For this reason an archaeological watching brief is recommended during any ground excavation, particularly for the services for the new proposed toilet facilities. Where historic fabric is affected this is likely to require archaeological standing building recording to an appropriate English Heritage survey level. 1 P:\ISLI\1240\na\Assessments\HEA_19-09-2014.docx Historic environment assessment MOLA 2013 1 Introduction 1.1 Origin and scope of the report 1.1.1 Sutton’s Hospital in Charterhouse has commissioned Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) to carry out a historic environment assessment in advance of proposed development at The Charterhouse in the London Borough of Islington (National Grid Reference 531945 181975:Fig 1). The scheme comprises a new public entrance connecting Charterhouse Square to the Chapel Court garden and reconfiguration of the Chapel Court including hard and soft landscaping. The grave of Sir Walter De Manny will be enhanced and the foundations of the monastic chapel would be accentuated. Within the area for the Charterhouse Museum partitions would be removed and new rooms created. An area would be landscaped in the Brother’s Garden to reveal the imprint of a monk’s cell in its walled enclosure. A landscape scheme to improve the currently municipal quality of Charterhouse Square is also planned. 1.1.2 This desk-based study assesses the impact of the scheme on buried heritage assets (archaeological remains). It forms an initial stage of investigation of the area of proposed development (hereafter referred to as the ‘site’) and may be required in relation to the planning process in order that the local planning authority (LPA) can formulate an appropriate response in the light of the impact upon any known or possible heritage assets. These are parts of the historic environment which are considered to be significant because of their historic, evidential, aesthetic and/or communal interest. 1.1.3 This report deals solely with the archaeological implications of the development and does not cover possible built heritage issues, except where buried parts of historic fabric are likely to be affected. Above ground assets (ie, designated and undesignated historic structures and conservation areas) on the site or in the vicinity that are relevant to the archaeological interpretation of the site are discussed. Whilst the significance of above ground assets is not assessed in this archaeological report, direct physical impacts upon such arising from the development proposals are noted.

The evaluation was carried out in advance of development of the site for a new cryostore between Dawson Hall to the north and the Joseph Rotblat Building to the south. The evaluation was commissioned by Queen Mary University of London following recommendations from Historic England. The evaluation was recommended due to the site’s location within the former footprint of the eastern range of the cloister of the Carthusian Charterhouse founded in 1371. The site held potential to expose wall footings and floor surfaces related to this institution, as the door to monastic Cell S remains in situ from when it was excavated in the late 1950s. Four trial trenches were sited to cover the footprint of the proposed development and evaluate the depth and level of survival of archaeology. In the event no archaeological features were exposed in any of the four pits. Rather, natural ground was shown to be sealed below deep deposits of made-ground dating from the 16th century up to the 19th century.

  • Smithfield Square a New Public Square and a Gift to London 6 Strategies and a Manifesto for the Next 150 Years
    Smithfield Square A new Public Square and a Gift to London 6 Strategies and a Manifesto for the next 150 years "All buildings are predictions. All predictions are wrong." How Buildings Learn, Stewart Brand Smithfield Market has long since been a much loved part of London. Nearly 15 years ago, Terry Farrell and Partners, with our work for English Heritage, were instrumental helping in a Public Enquiry to save the General and Poultry Market from demolition and proposed viable scenarios to keep the old market buildings alive in the 21st Century. We argued for an amnesty of the existing historic building, in imagining the future of London. We proposed a range of diverse uses - from the Museum of London to a concert hall, and from new schools and colleges to urban markets. Smithfield has played a vital role within the City of London as asocial hub and meeting place for centuries prior to the current market use. Since the construction of the existing Victorian structure, Smithfield hasadapted to ever-changing uses over a century and a half, allowing people to exchange goods and as a result the building has grown and expanded in response. So what happens 150 years later, when trade of meat is no longer viable in inner city; what replaces trade but keeps the space a public place, which it has been for over 800 years? How do we stop one of the last public places in the City of London from acquiring a front door and a lock? We now have the unique opportunity to let it be, free from trying to adapt its old bones to a prediction, and let it be what it is best at - a shelter for people for people to meet.

  • C257 FAR XSF10 Farringdon Watching Brief Utilities Diversion
    Farringdon ETH Utilities Watching Brief Fieldwork Report, XSF10 C257-MLA-X-RGN-CRG02-50117 v2 Non technical summary This report presents the results of an archaeological targeted and general watching brief carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) on the site of the utilities diversions for the future Farringdon Eastern Ticket Hall, London EC1, in the City of London and Islington (under Crossrail contract C257 Archaeology Central). The report was commissioned from MOLA by Crossrail Ltd. This work is being undertaken as part of a wider programme of assessment to quantify the archaeological implications of railway development proposals along the Crossrail route. The work at Farringdon Eastern Ticket Hall consists of utilities diversion trenches in Charterhouse Square (Street) and Hayne Street, as well as two separate trenches to the east, immediately to the south-west of Charterhouse Square. Natural geology was not exposed in the utilities trenches. On Charterhouse Street, a deposit probably dumped between 1480–1600 contained butchered animal remains probably associated with Smithfield Market to the west, or less likely domestic waste. Also within this deposit were disarticulated human remains from at least three individuals, and residual medieval pottery. The human remains were probably re-deposited from the outer cemetery of Charterhouse which was used as a Black Death cemetery during the 14th-century and possibly later. This feature was sealed by a series of levelling and dumped deposits within which early 16th to 17th-century pottery was recovered. The uppermost layers were truncated by a probable rubbish pit containing material of late 16th–17th-century date.

  • Charterhouse Square (CA09), Hat & Feathers (CA26) Conservation Area Design Guidelines
    Clerkenwell Green (CA01), Charterhouse Square (CA09), Hat & Feathers (CA26) Conservation Area Design Guidelines January 2002 CA ONE, CA NINE, CA TWENTY SIX CLERKENWELL GREEN, CHARTERHOUSE SQUARE AND HAT AND FEATHERS 1.1 The Council will operate special policies in the Clerkenwell Green, Charterhouse Square, and Hat and Feathers Conservation Areas, in order to preserve and enhance the special character and appearance of the area. 1.2 The Clerkenwell and Smithfield area has the longest history of any part of the borough. It has a special character and appearance which stems from its mix of uses, its architecture and its history, which justifies its conservation area status. The Government Office for London has accepted that this area has a special character, which is of importance to London as a whole, and that the Council’s conservation policies for the area should be included in the statutory UDP. This section of the Conservation Area Guidelines therefore repeats the policies set down in the UDP - they are included here for the sake of comprehensiveness. The policies in this section apply to the area covered by three conservation areas: Clerkenwell Green, Charterhouse Square and Hat and Feathers (CAs 1, 9 and 26). 1.3 The fabric of the area derives from incremental development from Norman times to the present day, with surviving examples of buildings from nine different centuries. The character of the area also depends on its great variety of uses including specialist manufacturing, workshops, wholesaling and retailing activities. The juxtaposition of different activities, cheek by jowl, sets Clerkenwell and Smithfield apart from more homogenous business and residential areas.
