This document contains your Historic Environment Record search. The following pages will provide an archaeological summary of the buildings and monuments within your parish, sorted by period. This is followed by an overview of our service alongside an explanation of the documentation included and guidance on its use. The appendix to this document includes the historic and modern mapping for your parish, the record lists organised by period and the full records providing detailed information.

An HER search was undertaken on the parish of Birlingham, for a Village Design Statement on 10/06/2016. This returned 168 records including 36 buildings, 16 of them Listed, 68 monument records and 64 other records relating to the parish. One Scheduled Monument record was found for the bridge at Eckington, which crosses the parish boundary.

Buildings and Farmsteads: The historic buildings in Birlingham include the Grade II* Listed bridge at Eckington, which is also a Scheduled Monument, rebuilt in 1728 on the site of a medieval bridge. The church in Birlingham has a 15th century tower but was also rebuilt in the 19th century. Other historic buildings in the village range in date from the 17th century timber framed houses, 18th and 19th century brick houses, including a manor house and almshouses, and a 20th century air raid shelter and allotment shed.

A project undertaken in 2008, sponsored by Historic , the Historic Buildings of Worcestershire Project, identified, from the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map, 125 historic buildings but not all of these are loaded on the HER. These can be significant when considering character for a village setting but these have not been verified for all parishes and it may be that some of these points are the location of buildings since demolished and replaced.

The Historic Farmsteads of Worcestershire project was undertaken to chatacterise and record basic details of farmsteads from Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition maps has added to the buildings recorded in Birlingham. These are also recorded in Landscape Component records and all demonstrate the settlement pattern in this area of the county, with the earlier farmsteads within a village environment.

Monument Records: Monument records for the parish reveal an earlier past to the area with crop marks showing a possible prehistoric occupation site, a possible henge site, Bronze Age pits and ditches and a Roman trackway, enclosure and occupation site. Although some of these records are just outside the parish of Birlingham it demonstrates that there was activity in this area in much earlier times. Medieval earthworks of ridge and furrow field systems, a pound, trackways, the site of the village stocks and World War II defences are recorded in the parish. Monument records also record the site of buildings which have been demolished, such as farm buildings, a mill, the deserted settlement at Nafford and the site of a Women's Land Army Hostel.

General Parish Info: The information recorded in the parish records is made up of information for which there is no detailed location recorded. More research would be necessary to be more precise and it may be that this is not possible.

Portable Antiquities: These records have been imported from the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (https://finds.org.uk/ ), mainly from metal detecting finds, and may have been added to more recently. Grid references for this information are not held on the HER.

Historic Park of Garden: The formal garden at The Mansion, Birlingham, was recorded as part of a survey undertaken in the 1990s.

2

Geology: These records are for areas of the county which have been identified as part of an Historic England funded project, Putting the Palaeolithic in to Worcestershire's HER. Remains from this period are scarce and are often associated with certain geological deposits and these are what have been mapped in this layer. These areas are highlighted as areas os potential for further finds of this period. In general the geology of the parish of Birlingham (from the British Geological Survey http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html ) is of the Charmouth Mudstone Formation, overlain with Superficial Deposits of the sands and gravels, in this area from the Wasperton, New Inn and Sand and Gravel Members as well as a wide area of Alluvium deposits along the River Avon. The overlying soils are free-draining, slightly acid loamy soils (http://www.landis.org.uk/soilscapes/ ). These all contribute to areas which would have been attractive to settlement in the past and give suitable conditions for the creation of crop marks (providing the 'right' sort of crops are grown) which give information about past land use.

Archaeological Events: These are record for where archaeological work, stray finds or research projects have been undertaken in or around the search area. Activities such as watching briefs, evaluations and excavations have been undertaken in advance of development work.

The finds records in the parish of Birlingham, both from work undertaken in advance of development and more chance finds. These include stray finds of a surface scatter of Roman potter and a worked flint (a rock type that does not occur naturally in Worcestershire) which has been dated to a period that covering the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age. Human remains, scientifically dated to the Neolithic, are also recorded in the parish. Bronze Age pottery and copper alloy objects as well as Iron Age pottery are recorded. Pottery of this date is not common, as it is not highly fired and therefore does not survive well. Romano British pottery, which is more resilient, is a common find in Worcestershire and generally survives well. Silver and copper alloy Romano-British coins have been found in the area, along with ceramic building materials (brick and tile) and other metal work. An Anglo-Saxon spear head was found in a neighbouring parish in the 19th century but no finds of this date are recorded for Birlingham. Medieval and post medieval finds include pottery, clay pipe, ceramic building materials and metal work.

Historic Landscape Character: The Historic Landscape Character of the parish is mainly agricultural with field patterns being classified as resulting from field amalgamation, reorganisation and modern subdivision, some earlier patterns remain resulting from piecemeal and Parliamentary enclosure; the Inclosure Act was passed in 1773. Settlement is mainly nucleated or clustered with later modern expansion.

Tithes for the parish are likely to have been commuted to payment by rent charge at the time of the Inclosure Act leaving only Asham Meadow to be accounted for in the tithe map and apportionment.

Designated Assets: Within the parish boundaries are a Historic England Designated Assets are also recorded. These sites, monuments and buildings are already protected under planning policy and therefore other undesignated heritage should have a stronger focus within your village design statement. These are: Listed Buildings, Scheduled Monuments and the Conservation Area.

* Heritage Assets are designated by English Heritage. It is possible that the HER is out of date. NB. Other statutory designations may apply to your site which the HER does not record, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

* Please note an absence of archaeological records in a particular area should not necessarily be interpreted as an absence of archaeology, surviving archaeology may have not been identified in the HER for a number of reasons. Please inform the HER if you feel records are missing for important heritage assets in the search area. 3

Information about the data sent to you

The Worcestershire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the largest collection of archaeological information in the County with details of over 45,000 sites, buildings, finds, and landscapes alongside information on past archaeological research and investigations. These records hold information on a vast and diverse array of archaeological remains, from Iron Age Hillforts to Second World War pillboxes. The HER is held in a database linked to a Geographical Information System (GIS), a computer mapping system designed to allow users to collect, manage and analyse large volumes of spatially referenced data. When you request information from us we carry out a search around a grid reference or criteria supplied by you, withdrawing all the records within that area from the database and allowing us to produce reports and mapping which fulfil your requirements. Our standard search radius is 500m from your specified location; however, we are able to undertake searches of more defined extents if requested. We are also able to provide information for records of particular types or dates such as a search for Neolithic enclosures.

The Historic Environment Record can be an ideal starting point if you are interested in researching your local area or a particular period of Worcestershire's past. While we can provide reports in digital format or by post, we encourage you to visit us in person to examine the large quantities of additional information stored in our offices, including banks of filing cabinets with detailed information on thousands of sites, and hundreds of aerial photographs covering large swathes of the county. In addition, the service has a reference library with general and specialist texts on British archaeology alongside an online collection of archaeological reports regarding Worcestershire's heritage accessible at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology/library. Finally, many of the archaeologists working at our offices are very knowledgeable about particular places, or are specialists in certain subjects or periods and are keen to help independent researchers.

The potential value of our records to your research may not however be restricted to an initial assessment of a particular area. We believe an appreciation of the historic form of landscapes is vital to understanding the people that occupied them; allowing us to contextualise and therefore improve our understanding of past activity. Our records and historic mapping can be used to understand these historic environments providing either fresh perspectives upon people and places identified through documentary research, or reconstructing historic landscapes to be populated through further research. We therefore strongly recommend consulting our archive service if you have not already done so on.

If you require additional information or assistance we encourage you to contact or visit us at The Hive. Many of our records are also now available online with the Heritage Gateway at www.heritagegateway.org.uk.

Parish Searches for Neighbourhood Plans and Village Design Statements This search has been prepared especially for use in putting together a neighbourhood plan or village design statement. Worcestershire's Parishes all contain a substantial amount of historic environment data and we understand it can be difficult to digest. The archaeological summary provided attempts to highlight significant archaeological features of your parish, by period. However, it is important to remember that the Neighbourhood plan should be focused on identifying the undesignated heritage in the parish that is important to the people who live there. Guidance on how to consider the historic environment within a neighbourhood plan can be found in the "Knowing Your Place" Document produced by English Heritage (now Historic England) https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/knowing-your- place/knowing-your-place12.pdf/ and through the Historic England Neighbourhood Planning website https://www.historicengland.org.uk/advice/hpg/historic- environment/neighbourhoodplanning/ . If you require any clarification about any of the data provided please do not hesitate to get back in touch.

Guidelines for Access

The HER was set up as a planning tool 30 years ago and contained the minimum level of data. Since then the records have been added to and enhanced over the years as more information has come to light. The records, therefore, vary greatly in their detail and accuracy. We are constantly updating and improving these records, however, they are compiled from a range of sources of varying quality and the information they contain should not be seen as definitive. We cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of any information supplied and the user must accept that information may be outdated or inaccurate. The HER search results will remain valid for 3 months only from the date of production, because the HER is constantly being updated as new sites of archaeological importance are identified.

When information is provided in advance of metal detecting, the detectorist must agree to report detailed information for all finds, including an eight or ten figure grid reference, to the Portable Antiquities Scheme (via Angie Bolton, Finds Liaison Officer for Worcestershire and Warwickshire on 01905 25371 or [email protected])

The sources referenced in the reports should be consulted in order to fully understand the nature of the archaeology in your search area. While the majority of these reports can now be accessed online at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology/library, other sources may need to be consulted at the HER offices, and we recommend that you come visit the HER office once you have received your search results to consult all the sources mentioned along with other more general information that we hold.

The modern rural and urban environment is the product of millennia of change and development, producing dynamic landscapes of distinct historical character. Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) aims to holistically identify and map these character areas through examination of their current and preceding forms, facilitating a deeper understanding and appreciation of a landscape's evolution through time, and contextualising archaeological features within their contemporary landscape settings. Combining HLC and HER data can therefore provide a valuable tool for the research into many archaeological features and landscapes.

If your site is within, or close to, one of the ‘Central Marches Historic Towns’, you should consult the CMHTS report for that town. These can be found at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology /library and relate to the following towns: Alvechurch, Bewdley & Wribbenhall, Broadway, Bromsgrove, Clifton-Upon-Teme, Droitwich, & , Kidderminster, , Redditch, Stourport-on-Severn, Tenbury Wells and Upton-Upon-Severn.

If your search area includes a Historic Farmstead or Outfarm, as identified by English Heritage's 'Historic Farmsteads Project', you should consult the current project publications, including the County summary, online at http://www.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/wm- county-summaries/

In these instances, the onus is on you to obtain permission for reproduction from the relevant person(s). The HER accepts no responsibility for any user making unauthorized copies of such documents. In some instances the HER has been granted permission by the copyright holder to give out a copy of a source for reference only. In these instances, you must not copy, pass on or publish that source without permission from the copyright holder.

Many of the sources used within the HER are 'grey literature' reports, produced through the modern planning and development process. Worcestershire HER holds its 'grey literature' library on the Online Archaeology Library (OAL). These sources can downloaded directly from within the HER Search Report provided, however, before doing so please take note of the following copyright statement:

All reports that are produced via the development control process are considered to be within the public domain. However, copyright restrictions (particularly with regard to Ordnance Survey mapping) or the inclusion of confidential or commercially sensitive information means that not all reports can be made freely available over the internet. Other reports have been excluded by request of the copyright holder. The metadata for reports that cannot be accessed online has been included, but you must visit either our offices or Worcester City to view these reports. The development of an online library can only be achieved if the organisations that supply data can be assured that their own rights are protected.

If Ordnance Survey maps are included in this report, then they are for reference only and require copyright permission from The Ordnance Survey for any reproduction.

Planning National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in 2012. It sets out the Government's planning policies, including those on the conservation of the historic environment. It replaces Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5), which was published in 2010.

If your search is in advance of a planning application, you may be required to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including the contribution made by their setting, in accordance Paragraph 128 of NPPF and the Local Authority's Local Plan. The Archaeological Summary below and the sources mentioned in the HER records should be taken into consideration when detailing the significance of the heritage assets. The Archaeological Summary does not consider the effects of any specific development on the historic environment; it lays out the archaeological survival, significance and potential. The statement submitted with a planning application would also need to consider the effects of your proposed development on the historic environment.

Frequently Asked Questions Where is the HER located and when are you open? We can be found on floor 2 of The Hive, Sawmill Walk, The Butts, Worcester, WR1 3PD

We are available via phone or email Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm. You can arrange to discuss your research with an archaeologist within our opening hours by appointment. These can be booked in half-hour slots, the first of which is free of charge but subsequent appointments will incur a nominal fee. The Hive is open from 8:30am to 10pm seven days a week with many of our resources accessible via self-service during these hours. 6

Monday 13:00 – 16:00 Thursday 13:00 – 16:00 Tuesday 13:00 – 16:00 Friday 13:00 – 16:00 Wednesday 13:00 – 16:00 Saturday 10:30 – 13:30 (2nd and 4th of the month) Please note that from August 2016 Saturday opening will cease.

Can you provide a physical copy of this document and/or the sources mentioned within? Yes, but only within The Hive and this will incur a small printing cost.

Can you provide information for Worcester City? Archaeological records for the City of Worcester are held by the Worcester City Historic Environment Record. They are contactable on 01905 721 132 or by email at [email protected]. In some instances we can answer simple queries on sites within the city, but if you wish for detailed information you will need to contact the city HER. We can book appointments for you with the City HER officer on Tuesdays in The Hive.

What happens if my search area crosses county boundaries? While we occasionally hold records which cross county boundaries, you will need to contact the HER for the relevant county and request a separate search. The contact details for our surrounding counties are as follows:

Birmingham: 0121 303 2426 [email protected] Dudley: 01384 814168 [email protected] Gloucestershire: 01452 425705 [email protected] Herefordshire: 01432 260 130 [email protected] Shropshire: 01743 252558 [email protected] Staffordshire: 01785 277 281 [email protected] Warwickshire: 01926 412 734 [email protected]

The HER Data and Documentation This document contains two types of report:

The Single Line or Short Report – this provides the basic information: the WSM Number, the Name/Title of the Record, the monument type, the date range and finally the National Grid Reference (the WSM number is the unique number given to each record within the HER).

The Full Report – this provides the above information plus a more detailed description of the monument/site/find/fieldwork etc. It also contains the sources and references that the record is based upon and gives its relationship (if any) to other associated sites. A ‘full’ report is not definitive and all sources mentioned should be consulted to gain a full understanding of the record. Each source has a unique SWR number which can be used to locate it within our offices or within our online library www.worcestershire.gov.uk/archaeology/library if available.

This report also contains maps of the locations of the HER records. There are three forms of mapping available:

Modern Maps with HER Records The maps will show the location of all the sites in the report, labelled with the WSM number. Please note: The labels only give the approximate location of the sites and monuments. The reason for this is that if there is more than one record for a location or there are lots of sites in close proximity – i.e. on a street of historic houses – then the labels overlie each other and cannot be read. We, therefore, move or adjust the labels very slightly to make them easier to see. To get the precise location you must use the grid reference. The HER is set up with a number of themes or layers. Each theme contains a different type of record e.g. Historic Buildings or Excavations. This allows us to switch the various themes on and off to look at different types of record

7 separately. The various themes are colour coded to make them easily identifiable and can be seen within the legend of each map.

Historic Maps We can supply copies of Landmark Digital mapping based on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Edition Ordnance Survey maps. These are drawn from several maps and are referred to as Epochs not Editions. It is important to note that Copyright restrictions mean that they must not be used in any report and are for research purposes only.

GIS Shape Files If you have access to a GIS system we can provide site location data as ESRI shapefiles for your own use as an alternative to the aforementioned mapping. This is the best way of sending and receiving complex spatial information. In built up areas where there are a large number of records, the data will be sent out in several files. We will provide site location data as individually themed shape files for each type of record.

Information valid for three months from date of 02/06/2016 Number of records: 110 production. HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM01415 Bridge Across River Avon, Eckington Building Monument Types and Dates

BRIDGE (LATE 11TH CENTURY AD to 21ST CENTURY AD - 1066 AD to 2050 AD) Evidence EXTANT BUILDING Main building STONE material

Description 15th or 16th century, narrow, with cutwaters on both sides. [1]

Pershore road carried over river (Avon) at Eckington Bridge, 5 arched stone structure of 16th or early 17th century, with cut- water piers. East piers are carried up to form refuges. [2]

The most perfect of the old Worcestershire bridges remaining. Nothing to show that it suffered during the civil War but in 1634 it recorded to be out of repair. [5]

See also photo of the bridge in 1954. [6]

6 arched stone bays with cut waters and triangular recesses. Stepped coped parapet. AM. [7][8]

An archaeological watching brief was carried out in 2012. The tops of each of the six arches were drilled to discover the depth of the concrete. The concrete depth ranged from 0.24–0.32m overlying the original sandstone bridge arches. The internal walls of the parapets and refuges were recorded photographically. Both the sandstone from the 18th century rebuilding and the Red Grinshill sandstone used to replace damaged blocks in 1993 was noted. Owing to shallow nature of the works no structural elements of the bridge predating the early 20th century were exposed within the carriageway, although sandstone was recorded in the lower sections of the parapet walls and refuges. [9]

The Historic England Schedule for this record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 27 May 2015. This monument includes a multi span bridge situated across the River Avon north of Eckington. The monument survives as a six-span bridge with balustrade approaches. The bridge was constructed in 1728 and was renovated during the 20th century. The bridge is orientated north east to south west and is approximately 44m long and up to 7m wide. It is constructed from sandstone with red and blue brick and some concrete. Both approaches to the bridge have a balustrade of horizontal iron railings that terminate at a 1m high stepped stone parapet with rounded coping and iron fasteners. Five stone piers separate six irregularly spaced arches spanning the river. The arches have segmental heads and stone voussoirs and each has been reinforced with two iron tie-rods and circular anchors. On both sides of the bridge are pointed cut waters, four to the north east rise up to become pedestrian passing places on the top of the bridge. Both south western cut waters are capped in concrete above the high water line. The bridge was rebuilt in 1728 by the Worcester masons Robert Taylor and Thomas Wilkinson. Despite the insertion of a road surface and damage from vehicle collisions, the remains of Eckington Bridge survive comparatively well and contain architectural features of interest. The spacing of the arches is unusual for a bridge constructed in one period and the importance of the bridge was demonstrated when the Home Guard constructed considerable defences here during World War II.

HENGE (NEOLITHIC - 4000 BC to 2351 BC) Evidence CROPMARK HILLFORT (BRONZE AGE - 2350 BC to 801 BC) Evidence CROPMARK

Description Double ditched circular enclosure visible as cropmark. [1]

Identified as a Henge in 1965. [2]

Double ditched roughly circular enclosure with very slight signs of an entrance causeway. Situated c.30m above OD, 150m south of the River Avon. Only half the site is visible as a cropmark. Outer ditch diameter c. 94.5m, inner ditch 45.7m diameter. Insufficient information available, but unlikely to belong to the henge class. [3]

More probably a "mini hill fort" as seen and excavated at Mucking, Essex. [4][5]

The Historic England scheduling record for this monument was the subject of a minor enhancement on 21 May 2015. The Scheduled Area is known from cropmarks visible on aerial photographs and survives as three trapezoid enclosures, a circular double ditched enclosure, three square enclosures and two ring ditches with pits. The circular enclosure has a wide inner ditch 70m in diameter encircled by a thinner ditch approximately 80m in diameter. The extent and character of the site is comparable with a site at Kemberton (NGR: SO 9450 3650) that is dated to the prehistoric and Roman periods. Further square enclosures and archaeological remains survive to the west and south-west of the monument, but are not currently protected because they have not been formally assessed. The prehistoric and Roman settlement site 800m north of Woollashall Farm has been ploughed and the archaeological remains survive exclusively as buried features or remains. The large number of differing feature types on the site make it unusual and distinct from other archaeological remains in the vicinity. The enclosures and pits will have potential for remaining layers and deposits that will contain important archaeological information relating to the use, construction and occupation of the monument in addition to providing environmental evidence.

The Historic England schedule record for this monument was the subject of a minor enhancement on 21 May 2015. The scheduled area is known from cropmarks visible on aerial photographs and survives as three trapezoid enclosures, a circular double ditched enclosure, three square enclosures and two ring ditches with pits. The Two ring ditches are located north of the trapezoid enclosures, the largest being approximately 25m in diameter. Pits are located to the north of the trapezoid enclosures. The extent and character of the site is comparable with a site at Kemberton (NGR: SO 9450 3650) that is dated to the prehistoric and Roman periods. The prehistoric and Roman settlement site 800m north of Woollashall Farm has been ploughed and the archaeological remains survive exclusively as buried features or remains. The large number of differing feature types on the site make it unusual and distinct from other archaeological remains in the vicinity. The enclosures and pits will have potential for remaining layers and deposits that will contain important archaeological information relating to the use, construction and occupation of the monument in addition to providing environmental evidence.

This record was updated to include the second ring ditch and associated pits mentioned in the scheduling record however the precise location is unknown.

Small pointed west and south openings are in recessed frames in west and south walls (former pigeon holes from its use as a dovecote). Square-headed 2-light belfry windows have cusped lights, renewed mullions, and louvres. The parapet is embattled. In the south aisle are 3-light and two 2-light windows under segmental heads. The north aisle has 4 similar 3-light windows and 2-light geometrical west window. In the nave west wall is a pointed doorway and a pair of 2-light geometrical windows under a traceried round window. The south porch has a stilted arch on foliage corbels. The south doorway has a continuous roll moulding. Chancel windows have geometrical tracery: a 3- light east window and two 2-light south windows. The double-gabled north vestry has round and 2-light geometrical north windows. INTERIOR: The nave has 4-bay arcades of polychrome stone arches on octagonal piers. The nave roof has cusped arched braces on corbels, and 2 tiers of windbraces. The west window and doorway are framed by a rere arch with floor-length shafts. The tower arch is double-chamfered. The chancel arch has an inner order on corbels with early Gothic capitals. The 2-bay chancel roof has arched-brace trusses, behind which is canted ceiling with embossed ribs. The interior is ashlar faced, with alternating courses of pink and cream masonry to the aisle arches. Floors are Godwin tiles, richer in the sanctuary, with raised wood floors below pews. PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: The ornate font has an octagonal bowl with a frieze of small quatrefoils, foliage to the underside and stem with moulded base. The lectern is a sculpted angel holding an open Bible. Both are by Theodore Phyffers. Benches have shouldered ends with moulded edges. Choir stalls are similar. In the sanctuary is a Gothic arcaded communion rail, and reredos with figures in niches, 1911 and probably by Gerald Cogswell. The chief memorial is to Rev Robert Landor (d 1869), who restored the church, a polished Madrepore marble credence under a segmental arch in the north chancel wall. A brass plate in the south aisle is to Robert Harewell (d 1603). In the south chancel wall is a metal plaque in relief to Robert Rashleigh Duke (d 1908), by Jones & Willis, incorporating a statue niche with a brass priest. Stained-glass windows are mainly by Hardman of Birmingham (1874-91). One south-aisle window showing St George is by A.J. Davies of Bromsgrove (1942). SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: In the churchyard is a free Perpendicular cross of 1911 by Gerald Cogswell. The separately listed churchyard entrance is the former chancel arch, much renewed by Ferrey (LBS no 442017). HISTORY: The tower, the middle stage of which was formerly a dovecote, is 15th century. The remainder is 1871-72 for the Reverend R.E. Landor by Benjamin Ferrey (1810-80), architect of London. SOURCES: Brooks, A and Pevsner, N., The Buildings of England: Worcestershire (2007), 149-50. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The church of St James, Birlingham, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * For the surviving 15th century tower, which is unusual in having incorporated a dovecote. * It is a well-designed Gothic- revival church retaining original character and detail, by an eminent Victorian church architect. * It has interior features of interest, including 19th century monument and lectern.

Description South-east of the churchyard in the village street are the parish stocks. [1]

The stocks are seen from the 2nd to the 3rd Edition OS maps. There does not seem to be any evidence of them seen on Google Street View from 2009.[2][3][4]

Photograph taken 1908, states in 1929: 'These stocks have now found a secure resting-place in the (church) tower. They are about 150 years old, and were getting dilapidated in their original position outside the churchyard wall'. Also recorded that stocks were set up in 1787.[5]

The stocks remain in the church of St. James, as seen in the photographs taken of the interior of the church in 2012, see source [6]. Sources (1*) Bibliographic reference: Page, W. 1924.

Description One of a string of small red brick buildings associated with early 20th century allotments. The building probably had more than one function. The apparent relationship with similar nearby buildings and the allotments suggests multiple functions associated with softening willow, market gardening, storage and shelter (as evidenced by the presence of a hearth).

Buildings, associated with smallholdings, such as this, are very precious and rare. [3] Sources () Personal Comment: Hathaway, E. 2013. Personal Comment.

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM57407 Possible Prehistoric Boundary Ditch, Mill Meadow, Monument Eckington Monument Types and Dates

DITCH (EARLY NEOLITHIC to LATE IRON AGE - 4000 BC to 42 AD) Evidence SUB SURFACE DEPOSIT

Description In 2006 an archaeological evaluation by Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service identified three north- south aligned linear features. These three ditches appeared to be of a similar date; their fills were comparable and their orientation was identical. They followed the angle of slope of the underlying natural and were sealed by the alluvium and colluvium, which has levelled out the modern ground surface to a large degree. This, allied with the complete absence of artefactual remains, indicates that they are of an early date, probably prehistoric. They appear to be a continuation of the cropmark activity identified to the south. Their function is unclear, although they may represent field or enclosure boundaries, drainage ditches or define a trackway leading from the activity on the plateau, down to the bank of the River Avon. Two further east-west ditches may form the northern boundary of the cropmark enclosure adjacent to the south. [1] Sources (1*) Bibliographic reference: Sworn, Simon and Vaughan, Tom. 2006.

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM65277 Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds including a Portable Antiquities Neolothic Polished Axe Monument Types and Dates

FINDSPOT (MIDDLE NEOLITHIC to EARLY BRONZE AGE - 3500 BC to 2100 BC) Evidence FIND

Description WAW-729FC3 - A knapped flint Neolithic polished axe. The flint has developed a pale mottled patina on the majority of the axe?s surface which is a beige/cream colour. In plan the axe is a sub-drop shape, with a narrowed butt in width and depth. The narrowness is intentional and additional flakes which are unpolished have been removed to shape it in this way. The sides of the axe are facetted, the facets continue to the butt terminal, and tapers towards the blade. One side facet is rounded and smooth, other side facet is more angular and flattened. The blade is rounded and asymmetrical. It is still quite sharp where recent damage has not occurred. At the apex of the blade there are some recent damage. The surface of the axe has been polished or ground, leaving a shiny smooth surface. On both surfaces towards the butt there are some flake scars which appear to be forming a crude butt similar to that found on later palstaves. In section the axe is a sub asymmetrical pointed elongated oval. It measures 115.62mm long, 53.23mm wide, 24.29mm thick and weighs 189g.

The axe is a lenticular with facetted sides type (Field, D. and Woolley, A.R. 1984 ?Neolithic and Bronze Age ground stone implements? from Surrey: morphology, petrology and distribution. Surrey Archaeological Collective Volume 75 p,85-109) . Butler (Butler, C. 2005 Prehistoric Flintwork Tempus, p.142) describes the polishing process as being a potentially long process, using sandstone, possibly with water and sand, to smooth the surface. The axe would have originally been mounted onto a wooden handle and held in place by leather and fibre thongs (Butler, 2005: 142). The axe dates to the Neolithic period (c.3500 to c.2100 BC).

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM65447 Portable Antiquities Scheme find(s) including a Portable Antiquities Copper Alloy EARLY IRON AGE Unidentified Object Monument Types and Dates

FINDSPOT (EARLY IRON AGE to ROMAN 5TH CENTURY AD - 800 BC to 410 AD) Evidence FIND

Description

WAW-4949B6 - A cast copper alloy unidentified object. The object is either a fragment of a larger object or is incomplete. The object is moulded, and is similar to the head, beak and body of a duck, however this is probably not intentional. The beak terminates with a blunt point and is oval in section. The head is seated on the body, with the neck being defined by simplistic moulding. The head is just a rounded knop. Around the head is a band of ?pecked? decoration, which is a band of irregular low-relief oval stamps. Below the beak on the body there is a horizontal groove with irregular stamped pecked dots. The reverse of the object is broken, and appears to have been originally hollow. The interior has a rough surface, and the thickness of the walls vary from 3.41 to 4.65mm thick. The surface has an incomplete heavy brown patina, with areas of corrosion. The breaks and interior have no patina, suggesting it may have been broken recently. There are also a few small splatters of white paint. The object measures 22.72mm wide from the beak tip to the reverse, 22.61mm long from the top of the head to the lower edge and is 11.79mm thick across the body. It weighs 11.93g.

The heavy patina suggests a probably early date, possibly Iron Age or Roman. The function or type of object is unknown. Sources (1) Internet Site: British Museum. Various. Portable Antiquities Scheme SWR9225 (www.finds.org.uk). The British Museum. Text8:http://finds.org.uk/database

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM65697 Portable Antiquities Scheme find(s) including a Lead Portable Antiquities 12TH CENTURY AD Seal Matrix Monument Types and Dates

FINDSPOT (12TH CENTURY AD to 14TH CENTURY AD - 1200 AD to 1400 AD) Evidence FIND

Description

WAW-2B6362 - The seal matrix is made from copper alloy which has been cast, and then the legend and possibly the device has been engraved.

In plan the matrix has a pointed oval base. The reverse is a flat-back type with an integral loop protruding from the upper surface at one tip and a slight high relief ridge from tip to tip. From each pointed tip the matrix base is 24.5mm and is 13.6mm wide.

The device appears to be a a bird feeding a younger bird. The bird has a long tail which protrudes the border to the legend. The legend and device is very abraded, therefore there is no detail visible on the matrix or its impression.

These shaped and sized seals tend to be most common in the 13th and 14th centuries.

WAW-2B16E1 - The seal matrix is made from lead or alloy alloy which has been cast, and then the legend and possibly the device has been engraved. The matrix has been broken into two pieces, the break was not too recent.

In plan the matrix has a pointed oval base. The reverse is a flat-back type with an integral loop protruding from one point. From each pointed tip the matrix base is 52.7mm and is 24.2mm wide.

The device appears to be a fleur-de-lis.

These shaped and sized seals tend to be most common in the 13th century, particularly in having the personal name in the legend. Sources (1) Internet Site: British Museum. Various.

Location Grid Reference SO 9300 4265 Sheet No. SO94SW Administrative Areas Civil Parish Birlingham, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description Phase 1 represented natural deposits of a friable silt derived from river terrace gravels.

Phase 2 was represented by features seemingly associated with water management. A possible channel ran in an east-west direction and appears as a shallow gully. Organic deposits were recovered from the area but there were no artefactual material or other dateable material.

Phase 3 was represented by an unstratified flint recovered during machine stripping.

Phase 4 was represented by a brooch recovered during metal detectior survey following machine stripping. A piece of lead was also recovered and this probably relates to this phase.

Phase 5 relates to the post-medieval period and represents the majority of the activity on the site. A curvilinear ditch was recovered across the northern part of the site. Its shape suggests an internal diameter of between 12 and 15 metres. It consists of a complicated series of ditch cuts with the earliest phase being represented by a truncated V-shaped cut. The ditch is cut by a narrow vertically sided cut filled with assorted limestone rocks. This mirrors the earlier feature and forms a curve. Its profile and nature of the fill suggests a land drain but its circular

The assemblage recovered consisted of post-medieval brick (probably 18th century), fragments of tile and a worked flint. Environmental evidence from molluscs suggests that the primary fill of the ditch derives from a period of moist grassland with shade. Molluscs recovered from the primary fill of the second ditch suggests that the habitat was not under heavy grazing. The presence of a brick within a clearly sealed context and the unusual recut containing limestone suggests that the feature is not prehistoric. As the land to the north was part of Birlingham Mansion it is possible that the feature relates to an outlying structure such as a dovecote or windmill, but there is no cartographic or documentary evidence for this. The feature may perhaps be some form of defence against soil erosion but it is unlikely to be any earlier than post-medieval.

Location Grid Reference SO 9385 4173 Sheet No. SO94SW Administrative Areas Civil Parish Birlingham, Wychavon, Worcestershire Civil Parish Eckington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by WHEAS in 2006 under project P.2962. Three trenches were excavated on the site, a steeply graded meadow on the southern bank of the River Avon. The site lies close to an extensive complex of cropmarks of probable Bronze Age to Roman date. In addition an earthwork survey was undertaken, although this did not identify any previously unrecorded earthworks or structures, nor the continuation of a holloway identified to the south-west. Evidence gathered indicates that the present topography has altered considerably over the past two thousand years, with extensive erosion from the higher slopes and deposition within the floodplain. Two of the three trenches did not reveal archaeological features, although a very small quantity of residual prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval/modern material was recovered from the soils. On the lower reaches of the site, on the level floodplain, sequences of alluvial deposits were noted. Within Trench 2 these deposits contained a small quantity of Early Bronze Age to Roman pottery, indicating their formation during these periods, probably eroded down slope from the attested activity to the south. Within the third trench, in the south-east corner of the site, three of north-south aligned linear features were observed. These three ditches appeared to be of a similar date; their fills were comparable and their orientation was identical. They followed the angle of slope of the underlying natural and were sealed by the alluvium and colluvium, which has levelled out the modern ground surface to a large degree. This, allied with the complete absence of artefactual remains, indicates that they are of an early date, probably prehistoric. They appear to be a continuation of the cropmark activity identified to the south. Their function is unclear, although they may represent field or enclosure boundaries, drainage ditches or define a trackway leading from the activity on the plateau, down to the bank of the River Avon. Two further east-west ditches may form the northern boundary of the cropmark enclosure adjacent to the south. [1]

Eight trial pits were excavated to investigate the extent and condition of the previous saddling works below the carriageway undertaken in 1914. The trial pits revealed an identical layer of tarmac between 0.03 and 0.12m below the current surface. The tarmac overlay and sealed concrete. A number of trial pits were located in the centre of the bridge over cracks in the road surface. Inspection of the concrete beneath revealed fraying of the concrete joints. The cracking in the tarmac corresponded to the areas of damage in the early 20th century concrete layer.

Due to the shallow nature of the trial pits no structural elements of the bridge predating the early 20th century were exposed. [1] Sources (1*) Unpublished document: Curran, E. 2011.

The tarmac surface was removed and the concrete strengthening from 1914 revealed. The tops of each of the six arches were drilled to discover the depth of the concrete. The concrete depth ranged from 0.24–0.32m overlying the original sandstone bridge arches. The internal walls of the parapets and refuges were recorded photographically. Both the Ombersley sandstone from the 18th century rebuilding and the Red Grinshill sandstone used to replace damaged blocks in 1993 was noted. Due to shallow nature of the works no structural elements of the bridge predating the early 20th century were exposed within the carriageway, although sandstone was recorded in the lower sections of the parapet walls and refuges.

Location Grid Reference SO 9289 4223 Sheet No. SO94SW Administrative Areas Civil Parish Birlingham, Wychavon, Worcestershire Civil Parish Eckington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description On 20/3/2013, a partial skull was discovered at SO 92895 42236 by a member of the public walking their dog and reported it to . West Mercia Police believed the skull to be potentially archaeological in origin and contacted Worcestershire Archaeology. A senior environmental archaeologist (Nicholas Daffern) from WA attended the morgue to examine the skull and confirmed that he believed the skull to be archaeological. This was based upon the dark staining of the bone although only radiocarbon dating of the subject would prove decisive.

This view was shared by the forensic anthropologist (Dr Lucina Hackman, Dundee University): "I can confirm in my professional opinion as a forensic anthropologist that the bone in the images is a human cranium. The bone is very dark in colour and the fractures edges are also dark indicating that this bone has become stained by the substrate that it has lain in. This type of staining tends to take some time to occur which would be consistent with older (ie potentially archaeological) remains. The only way to be 100% sure of the age of a bone is to use carbon dating."

The skull is represented by the left and right parietal bones, the frontal bone and part of the occipital bone. Of the latter, only the upper half of the squama occipitalis was present, the lower half was absent as were the lateral and basilar parts of the occipital bone. The lower bones of the skull are absent having been fractured along the squamosal, the sphenofrontal, the zygomaticofrontal, the nasofrontal and the frontomaxillary sutures. Both the senior environmental archaeologist and the forensic anthropologist have suggested that the skull is that of an female due to the absence of prominent supraorbital ridges and the overall slightness of the skull although this must remain tentative given the absence of additional sexing proxies. It is worth noting that the lambdoid, sagittal and coronal sutures were all well fused with some of the sutures being almost invisible suggesting an older individual.

The skull was submitted for radiocarbon dating to the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC) radiocarbon dating laboratory for AMS (accelerator mass spectrometry) radiocarbon dating by Detective James Bayliss of West Mercia Police.

The result produced by the laboratory was 4468 +/- 30 BP; 3338 – 3025 cal BC (SUERC-46228 (GU30346)), middle Neolithic.

DesigUID: DWR118 Type: Scheduled Monument Status: Active Preferred Ref National Ref Legacy SAM# 1005264 1005264 SAM319 Name: Eckington Bridge Grade: Date Assigned: Amended: Revoked: Legal Description This record was the subject of a minor enhancement on 27 May 2015. This monument includes a multi span bridge situated across the River Avon north of Eckington. The monument survives as a six-span bridge with balustrade approaches. The bridge was constructed in 1728 and was renovated during the 20th century. The bridge is orientated north east to south west and is approximately 44m long and up to 7m wide. It is constructed from sandstone with red and blue brick and some concrete. Both approaches to the bridge have a balustrade of horizontal iron railings that terminate at a 1m high stepped stone parapet with rounded coping and iron fasteners. Five stone piers separate six irregularly spaced arches spanning the river. The arches have segmental heads and stone voussoirs and each has been reinforced with two iron tie-rods and circular anchors. On both sides of the bridge are pointed cut waters, four to the north east rise up to become pedestrian passing places on the top of the bridge. Both south western cut waters are capped in concrete above the high water line. The bridge was rebuilt in 1728 by the Worcester masons Robert Taylor and Thomas Wilkinson. Despite the insertion of a road surface and damage from vehicle collisions, the remains of Eckington Bridge survive comparatively well and contain architectural features of interest. The spacing of the arches is unusual for a bridge constructed in one period and the importance of the bridge was demonstrated when the Home Guard constructed considerable defences here during World War II.
