The works comprised of the excavation of six trenches, each measuring 25m by 1.8m. Despite the archaeological potential of the wider environs of the site, all of the trenches were archaeologically sterile with no finds, features or deposits recovered, and no artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered. The archaeological evaluation did reveal a small amount of modern building remains, associated with a recently demolished building. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Entech House, London Road, Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In June 2019 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for CgMs Heritage on behalf of Taylor Wimpey - North Thames at Entech House, London Road, Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 25212 19019 (see Figure 1). 1.2 The evaluation was undertaken to fulfil a condition of planning permission granted by North Hertfordshire District Council for 72 dwellings and their associated gardens (Ref: 6/2017/0948/MAJ) conditional on a program of archaeological works A No development shall take place/commence until an Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation has been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority in writing. The scheme shall include an assessment of archaeological significance and research questions; and: 1. The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording; 2. The programme and methodology of site investigation and recording as required by the evaluation; 3. The programme for post investigation assessment; 4. Provision to be made for analysis of the site investigation and recording; 5. Provision to be made for publication and dissemination of the analysis and records of the site investigation; 6. Provision to be made for archive deposition of the analysis and records of the site investigation; 7. Nomination of a competent person or persons/organisation to undertake the works set out within the Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation B The development shall take place/commence in accordance with the programme of archaeological works set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) C The development shall not be occupied/used until the site investigation and post investigation assessment has been completed in accordance with the programme set out in the Written Scheme of Investigation approved under condition (A) and the provision made for analysis and publication where appropriate. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Entech House, London Road, Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire 1.2 The archaeological evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CgMs Heritage (2019) and approved by Simon Wood, Historic Environment Advisor to North Hertfordshire District Council. The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014) The site 1.3 The proposed development area measures c. 0.5ha in area and is situated to the north of the small village of Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire. It comprises a single plot of land, which previously was used as industrial space. The site is bounded to the north by agricultural land and the south by residential properties and their associated gardens and to the west by railway line. The site lies on reasonably level ground, approximately 94/95m aOD (above Ordnance Datum). 1.4 The bedrock geology of the site is recorded as Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation and Seaford Chalk Formation (BGS 2019). The site is located within an area of very mixed glacial superficial deposits (clay, silt, sand and gravel) and glaciofluvial deposits (sand and gravel) (Ibid). During the evaluation natural geology comprising silty clay, and sandy gravel was identified. 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 The following archaeological background material is summarised from the Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (CgMs 2017) prepared for the site. Prehistoric (500,000 BC – AD 43) 2.2 A single Palaeolithic axe head was recorded from a gravel quarry north of Heath Road, c. 800m south-west of the site, although the precise location of the find spot is now unknown. 2.3 From aerial photographs of Woolmer Green, it is suggested that there is an extensive later Prehistoric landscape of field systems, enclosures and funerary monuments; however, none of these features have been archaeologically excavated, leaving their date and function unknown. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Entech House, London Road, Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire 2.4 Two Iron Age coins are noted from the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), located to the east of the site. The precise locations of these coins have been kept out of the public domain due to them being made of gold and silver. Roman (AD 43- AD 410) 2.5 No sites suggesting Roman settlement or agricultural activity have been recorded within a 1km radius of the site Early medieval and medieval (AD410 – AD 1539) 2.6 Woolmer Green is not mentioned in Domesday (1086), although the manor of Merdelai (Mardleybury) is noted. The manor is recorded as having nine households and 200 pigs. The presence of such a high number of pigs implies a heavily wooded area, with a very sparse human population inhabiting small homesteads and farmsteads. 2.7 In 1296, Woolmer Green is recorded as being the home of Thomas de Woluemere. Post - medieval and modern periods (AD1540 – present day) 2.8 The 1923 Ordinance Survey Map shows the first development of the site. A large linear building was constructed in the centre of the site, noted as a condensed milk factory. The eastern part of the site had been heavily planted with trees, many still present today. 2.9 The 1937 Ordinance Survey Map shows large scale changes to the site, by which point is noted to be Chemical Works. Adjacent to the London Road a lodge had been built; while to the west, the small structures have been demolished and replaced by a new building. 2.10 Further expansions of the buildings on the site are noted on the 1960 Ordinance Survey map and additional buildings added to the site prior to an aerial image dated to 2000. 2.11 In 2019, prior to the archaeological evaluation, the aforementioned buildings had been demolished. 5 © Cotswold Archaeology Entech House, London Road, Woolmer Green, Hertfordshire 3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 3.1 The objectives of the evaluation are to provide information about the archaeological resource within the site, including its presence/absence, character, extent, date, integrity, state of preservation and quality, in accordance Standard

  • Percival Blow – List of Works (Revised October 2019)
    Percival Blow – List of Works (Revised October 2019) In 2018/19, members of the Society researched the life and work of Percival Blow, an architect who worked mostly in his home town of St Albans but also Harpenden, Luton and beyond. The Society’s book, St Albans Architect Percival Blow: from Arts and Crafts to Gothic Revival and Art Deco, published in 2019, was the result of this research. Produced in the book is a list of works collated from various sources such as plans, planning records and oral tradition. Due to the nature of surviving archival collections, this list will likely never be complete. What follows is based on the list published in the book but expanded in two ways: firstly, it shows the sources we drew upon for each commission; secondly, whereas the book typically itemizes new developments only, the following list also includes building alterations. If you are aware of likely Blow commissions not identified below, please email the Society via [email protected]. Patricia Broad, Sue Mann and Jonathan Mein Notes for using the list • Any dates in the ‘Year’ column should be treated as an estimate only. • The abbreviations in the ‘Status of plans’ column are: A = Approved; B = Built; P = Proposed.
