  • Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 79
    Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 44: Morphology of Aylesbury 79 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 45: period development 80 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report 5 Historic Urban Zones 5.1 Introduction The process of characterising and analysing Buckinghamshire towns produces a large quantity of information at a ‘fine-grained scale’ e.g. the character of particular buildings, town plan forms and location of archaeological data. This multitude of information can be hard to assimilate. In order to distil this information into an understandable form, the project defines larger areas or Historic Urban Zones (HUZs) for each town; these zones provide a framework for summarising information spatially and in written form ( 81 Aylesbury Historic Town Assessment Draft Report Figure 47). Each zone contains several sections including: A summary of the zone including reasons for the demarcation of the zone. An assessment of the known and potential archaeological interest for pre 20th century areas only. An assessment of existing built character. 5.2 Historic Urban Zones The creation of these zones begins with several discrete data sets including historical cartography and documentary sources; known archaeological work; buildings evidence (whether listed or not) and the modern urban character (Figure 46). From this, a picture can be drawn of the changes that have occurred to the built character within a given area over a given period. Discrete areas of the town that then show broad similarities can be grouped as one zone. After the survey results have been mapped into GIS the resulting data is analysed to discern any larger, distinctive patterns; principally build periods, urban types, styles or other distinctive attributes of buildings.

  • Excavations at the Hamlet in Bedgrove, Aylesbury, 1964-66. Alison
    EXCAVATIONS AT THE HAMLET IN BEDGROVE, AYLESBURY 1964-6 ALISON MACDONALD AND CHRISTOPHER GOWING Excavation of a house platform and part of a hollow way yielded information on a medieval settlement. Bedgrove is situated about 1.5 miles from the centre ofAylesbury and lay, until 1958, in the parish of Weston Turville (Fig. 1). Three seasons of work from 1964-6 revealed an extensive area of flint cobbling, traces of three buildings and an oven. An earlier medieval phase of occupation was represented by a pit sealed by the cobbling, containing twelfth-century pottery. The majority of sherds from the layer of cobbles and above, however, can be dated from the late twelfth century to early fourteenth century. Documentary evidence confirms that this was the time when the settlement was flourishing. Pottery from the site also showed a Roman presence in the area, and indicated the Late Saxon origins of the settlement. Introduction hollow way (65 VIII) can be seen stretching The site of the hamlet (NGR SP 839127) was westwards from the main house platform. identified on the ground by earthworks and a scatter of stones in the area north of Bedgrove Subsequent to the extension of Bedgrove Farm (Fig. 2).
