  • Britford Church, Wiltshire
    Church of St. Peter, Britford, Wilts. Taylor’s account of this church runs to a good two pages, but visible remains condense down to two side arches which originally led to their individual porticus, or side chapel, parts of the south doorway (much restored), and parts of the walls. Having been reopened in the restoration of 1873 the two nave arches were provided with small annexes into which they now open. Rickman saw the (then) blocked arches and dated them as Anglo-Saxon. Taylor puts a date (one of his standard bracketed dates) of 800-950. I would prefer a (tentative) date of c.850, in part because of the generous width of the nave. There remains part of the fabric of the nave and parts of the east walls of both porticus embedded in the medieval transepts. The south porch was built to protect the pre-conquest nave doorway which was reopened; it is however much altered. The porch dated to the 1873 restoration. Pages 1 & 2 have been added/inserted in 2011 (and revised in 2019) and to avoid disturbing the original numbering the other pictures, those on these 2 pages are 1 individually numbered. The topmost picture is of the church from the SW and it shows (red arrow) the south annexe built to protect the opened up south archway to its ‘lost’ porticus. The nave west wall is possibly a Georgian rebuild and with a new and larger west window dating to the Victorian restoration. At that time the west doorway was removed along with its plain porch, probably also Georgian in date.

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION The importance of the location was confirmed by the discovery of two Romano-British settlements just Prehistory outside the entrance to the fort.

    07 Cunliffe 1686 13/11/09 13:48 Page 161 ALBERT RECKITT ARCHAEOLOGICAL LECTURE Continuity and Change in a Wessex Landscape BARRY CUNLIFFE Fellow of the Academy THE WESSEX LANDSCAPE with which we are concerned is an area of some 450 sq km of chalkland situated in the centre of the chalk uplands of southern Britain (Fig. 1). Its central position gives it a special character. It is, above all, a route node where the east–west ridgeways from the North Downs, the South Downs, Cranborne Chase and the Marlborough Downs converge with the north–south river routes, the Avon and the Test, which provide access, through the forests and heathlands of the Hampshire Basin, to the waters of the Solent beyond. But there is an ambivalence about the region. While open to influences from all direc- tions, this very openness endowed it with a strategic significance well understood by those who, in the past, wished to control the movements of peoples and commodities. As we will argue below, the region became a frontier zone for much of the latter part of the first millennium BC, dividing east from west. This block of downland was chosen for detailed study partly because of its commanding position in the landscape of central southern Britain but also because previous archaeological activity has provided an exten- sive database invaluable in developing a detailed research strategy. Most notable among the earlier work were the pre-war excavations of the Cunningtons and J. F. S. Stone focusing on Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in eastern Wiltshire and the campaign of hillfort excavations Read at the Academy 23 October 2008.
