Summary Tye Lane, Willisham (WLS005,TM06265102) Monitoring of groundwork's for a small residential development to the south of I Tye Lane, Willisham, revealed evidence for medieval activity of 11th-14th century date with a marked concentration of finds and features close to the tye edge as I indicated on late 18th century maps of the area. While most of the pottery finds were unstratified, two or three features were identified indicating the possible site of a tye I edge house or cottage site. 2. Background I Following a planning application (MS/29/97) to develop a 0.6 hectare parcel of land to the south ofTye Lane, Willisham, for residential use the Conservation Team within the Archaeological Service at Suffolk C.C. advised the local planning authority I that consent should be conditional on the implementation of a programme of works designed to record any evidence of past activity on the site. Interest in the site being generated by it's position straddling the southern edge of the tye, or area of common I grazing and landuse, where evidence for medieval activity might be expected. The site is centred at TM 0626 5102 on heavy boulder clay in an area of flat topography. This I monitoring work was funded by the site developers, V.A.Marriott Ltd with the full and close co-operation of their site agent. For the location of the site see Fig. I. The initial stage in the programme of archaeological works was a desk based I assessment (Field Projects Report no 97/32 by C.Abbott) which examined the map sources available in the Suffolk Record Office. This study confirmed the presence of the tye on a late 18th century map but noted that the area of common grazing had been I enclosed and new field boundaries established by the time of the tithe map in 1839. The assessment concluded that the tye edge ran in a north-west to south-east direction across the proposed development area with the greatest potential for medievalactivity I being in plots 5 to 7 where building work might affect the boundary and plots 3 andA where the line of the tye edge would cross back gardens. Following the submission of the assessment report the Conservation Team at Suffolk C. C. advised the site I developers that the programme of archaeological works should be completed by I monitoring of groundwork's and the Field Team was commissioned to do this work. I I I I I 3. Site Monitoring Monitoring of groundwork's was carried out between July and September, 1998, and in all a total of ten visits were made as each house plot was stripped of topsoil I using a wheeled machine equipped with a toothed bucket on it's back-acter. In general surface visibility was fair to good and it is unlikely that any major deposits were missed. Over each house plot the scraped subsoil surface, which was under some I 300/350mm of topsoil, was examined for archaeological features and finds. In addition spoil from the site was examined for finds. In order to record the features and finds that were observed and collected a single continuous numbering system was I used where features were allocated a unique number as were discrete house plots as the latter were usually examined on separate visits. The county sites and monuments I record number, WLS 005, was given to the site. 3.1 Monitoring record I At the eastern end of the site, which would have been well onto the medieval tye, house plots 1,2 and 3 (see Fig.2 for plot location) produced very few finds with only two pottery sherds from plots 1 and 3 and none from plot 2 (see table below for I quantified summary). As the site work moved closer to the line of the tye edge the number of finds increased with 7 sherds from the surface of plot 4; 15 sherds from a possible pit (0005) towards the rear of this plot and 9 sherds (0006) from around the I pit. A number of baked clay fragments and oyster shells were also noted at the southern end of plot 4 which are likely to be associated with medieval activity on the site. I On the adjacent plot 5, and still within the predicted tye edge, a shallow but definite ditch or gully (0008) was located running east-west before it's latter end turned north and disappeared in an area of machine scrape. Plot 5 produced 30 sherds I as surface finds with a further 18 sherds coming from the small ditch. This ditch (0008) was some 400mm wide and 250mm deep and it is noteworthy that the 18 I sherds from this context came to a greater weight (173g) than the 30 sherds from the surface of plot 5. The area of plot Swould appear to be the focus for medieval activity along this part of the tye edge notwithstanding the factthat the recorded ditch and I associated concentration of pottery sherds, fired clay fragments and 1ava quem fragment all lie inside the line of the tye edge as recreated from later map sources. To the west of plot 5 the adjacent plot 6 did not produce any finds or features I while plots 7 (13 sherds) and 9 (6 sherds) produced relatively small quantities of increasingly abraded.material with plots 8 and 10revealing no evidence for past activity at all. Finally a pipe trench (00 11) along the northern side of plots 5-8 was I examined and 6 sherds were recovered. I (contd.)

All were I surface finds from house plots, except 0005 (?pit) and 0008 (ditch). Pottery I Most of the material was locally produced sandy and/or sparse shell tempered early and high medieval wares (11th-14th centuries). Some was attributable to production sites at Melton and Hollesley. However, there was also material similar to pottery I from Cedar's Farm, Stowmarket, and it seems likely that there was another, as yet unidentified, source close to the town. Little earlier or later pottery was identified , but there was a single small abraded sherd of possible Roman date (0006), and a fine Late I Medieval sherd with a spot of glaze on the outer surface (00 10). Most identified vessels were jars or cooking pots, some with signs of sooting. One Hollesley-type rim from a bowl was found. I The identified features can be dated to the late 13th.. 14th century (0005) and the I 12th-13th century (0008). Other finds A small fragment of abraded lava quem was found in 0007, and fired clayI daub I fragments were collected from 0007 and 0008. Discussion I The majority of material in this assemblage is of early medieval and medieval date and suggests a peak of activity in these periods. Most of the pottery was probably I I I I I produced around the Stowmarket and Hollesley areas, perhaps suggesting distribution via Stowmarket and Ipswich. I 4. Conclusion The monitoring results confirmed the high potential that the tye edge was seen to I have with the clear indication outlined above for a house or cottage site of late 11th to 14th century date on the site. While the monitoring did not record any evidence for structures on the site the two identified features and quantity of finds recovered from I plots 4 and 5 are significant indicators of settled occupation with over 500g of pottery from the site in general. The lack of structural evidence for a house or cottage of this date, and of probable low to medium status, being unsurprising given the medieval I peasant building tradition which relied on simple timber framing with little reliance on earth-fast foundation posts, beams or other solid foundations. However it is I surprising that the focus of medieval activity on plots 4 and 5 appears to lie just inside the tye edge where settlement would have been restricted and it may be that the postulated edge created from Post medieval map sources is too generalised for I detailed plotting on this scale.

  • In Memoriam: the Late Earl of Iveagh, K.P. H. T. G
    IN MEMORIAM. 365 IN MEMORIAM. THE LATEEARLOF IVEAGH,K.P. On the 7th October, 1927,Lord Iveagh passed to his rest, after a short illness. He had been a member of the SuffolkInstitute of Archxologyfor over twenty years. His generousand wisemunifi- cencein England and Ireland in the cause of education, the better housingof the poor and medicalresearchwill be long remembered. His bequest to the nation ofhis houseat Ken Woodand his magnifi- cent collection of pictures is also well known. His large estate in Suffolk,comprisingthe parishes of Elveden, Eriswell and Icklingham is considereda model one from an agri- cultural and sporting point of view. The hall at Elveden was partly rebuilt and restored by him in the early part of this century, and the celebratedMarbleHall, the details of which weremodelled from examples of ancient Indian art, was completed in 1903. In 1901under the guidance of the Societyfor the Protection of Ancient Buildings,Lord Iveagh re-roofedand restored the church of All Saint's, Icklingham,whichhas many treasures of antiquarian interest. He also restored and re-roofedthe old church of St. Andrew at Elveden and built on a nave, chancel and organ chamber ; using the old church as the South Aisle and a private chapel ; this was consecratedin October, 1906,by'BishopChaseof Ely and dedicated to St. Andrew and St. Patrick ; W. D. Caroe, F.S.A.,F.R.I.A.,was the architect. Later the tall campanilewith peal of ten bells, and the cloisterswere added in memory of Lady Iveagh. The War Memorialto the men of Elveden, Eriswelland Ickling- ham standing at the junction of the three parishes; was erected largely through his generosity; it is a Corinthian column about 120-ft.high on a tall base, surmounted by an urn ; it is visiblefor many miles.

  • A Suffolk Heraldic Manuscript L
    A SUFFOLK HERALDIC MANUSCRIPT By L. Dow, F.S.A. A hitherto unknown heraldic manuscript book, compiled by a Suffolk man towards the end of the seventeenth century, has recently come to light and, by a happy chance, has returned to the county, temporarily at least. Since the book contains several features of interest to Suffolk heralds and historians, it is appropriate that a description of it should be recorded in these Proceedings. I am therefore indebted to its present owner, Mr. Edward Elmhirst, F.R.D.S., of the East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital, for permission to examine the book and to publish this paper on it. From internal evidence it is clear that it was compiled by Dr. Nathaniel Fairfax, M.D., of Woodbridge and was completed in 1689, shortly before his death in the following year. The book measures llf inches by 7f inches and is 2i inches thick; it is bound in half calf with marbled boards and on the spine are two red leather labels with the title in gilt letters:—` CATALOGUE OF ARMS OF MANY AUTHORS '. At the foot of the spine is Mr. Elmhirst's press-mark in black ink, ' E.13 '. The present binding is probably of mid-eighteenth century date and Mr. Elmhirst points out that stains on one of the end-papers may indicate that it was originally bound in whole leather. Inside the front cover, apart from that of the present owner, are two armorial book-plates belonging to previous owners; William Constable Esqr., F.R.S. & F.A.S.' who was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, ' of Burton Constable, Yorkshire ' in March, 1775 and who died in 1791;1 and E.

  • Offton & Willisham Parish Plan 2009
    Offton & Willisham Parish Plan Note from the Chairman of the Parish Council Much hard work has been carried out on the Parish Plan since the public meeting in October 2008 agreed the villages of affton and Willisham should have a joint Parish Plan. The Parish Plan will inform and guide the Parish Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and Suffolk County Council on matters concerning affton and Willisham. I would like to thank the members of the Parish Plan Steering Group who have worked hard and enthusiastically in devising the questionnaires, analysing the data collected, preparing the exhibits for the Exhibition and now the Plan itself. Completing the Plan has been a remarkable achievement. There is now much work to be done by the Parish Council and those who will assist us in making our Parish a better place to live. Keith Earl Chairman Note from the Chairman of the Steering Group Well here it is at last, a Parish Plan for affton and Willisham. When we began this task we did not think that it would take 3 years to come to fruition . Before we could start work on the preparation of the Parish Plan we had to ensure that we had sufficient funding to complete the project. We spent some considerable time in seeking funding from various bodies. Eventually with grants from Mid Suffolk District Council, Suffolk County Council and affton and Willisham Parish Council we were able to proceed with the project. The Plan is in two parts - the first part is the Report which gives details of your views on what you think of our Parish, its environment, services and facilities.

We have attached a Summary, which outlines the main objections raised by the residents of Offton in a public meeting on 20th December 2018. Following the Parish Council meeting on 3rd January, below are the objections of the Council:- History of the Site This site has been rejected in 1989, under planning reference OL/16/89 and also at the ‘call for sites’ in 2017. The site is outside of the former settlement boundary and is classified as open countryside. Offton is due to be designated as a hamlet, as the area is incapable of withstanding development. The Parish previously undertook a Parish Plan in 2008 (published in 2009), which has seen the building of it’s own Village Hall to fulfil the community’s amenities for the village. There are no outstanding needs for a ‘reading room’ or ‘play area’. The Village Hall (with playground) is a community led enterprise which is a long term plan to meet the needs of it’s residents.
