SUMMARY

Project Name: Chestnut Avenue, North Stoneham Park Location: Eastleigh, Hampshire NGR: 443300 117550 Type: Evaluation Date: 19th -21st August 2019 Location of Archive: To be deposited with the Hampshire Cultural Trust Site Code: CAMS 19

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2019 at North Stoneham Park, Eastleigh. Three archaeological evaluation trenches were excavated.

In all three trenches, structural remains, comprised of brick and ashlar masonry, belonging to a 19th Century garden terrace, were recorded. These remains were depicted on historic mapping of the area and formed part of the grounds of the former North Stoneham House, which once occupied an open space at the southern end of the site.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 In August 2019 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation for EDP UK on behalf of Highwood Homes at North Stoneham Park, Eastleigh centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 443300 117550 (see Figure 1). The evaluation was undertaken to assess the levels of preservation of the garden terrace walls associated with the former North Stoneham House. Highwood Homes are considering the possibility of integrating the remains of the terrace into the masterplan for a planning application under preparation for the residential development of the site (19/01598/PREAPS).

1.2 The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2019). The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014).

The site

1.3 The proposed development area is approximately 8.4 hectares, and comprises an enclosed area, mostly of deciduous woodland, with open grassed spaces located at the southern and western ends of the site. Currently the site is occupied by a single- storey modern dwelling with two associated storage/workshop buildings situated close to it, and a number of other related structures. The site lies at approximately 31m aOD, (above Ordnance Datum) with a drop of approximately 2m to the southwest, associated with the location of the lower garden terrace.

1.4 The underlying bedrock geology of the area is mapped as clay, silt and sand of the London Clay Formation: sedimentary bedrock formed approximately 48 to 56 million years ago in the Palaeogene Period in an environment dominated by deep seas. Superficial deposits of River Terrace sands and gravels are recorded within the eastern part of the site (BGS 2019).

2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

2.1 This section represents a summary of information found within a previous Historic Landscape Assessment (EDP 2013) and reference should be made to that

document for full details, particularly in regard to the development of the buildings and layout of the Estate.

Early medieval 2.2 The manor of North Stoneham probably formed part of an Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical estate from the 7th century AD, but was subsequently transferred to the monastery of St. Peter’s at Winchester, which later became Hyde Abbey (Atkinson 2007). The estate at North Stoneham remained with Hyde Abbey until the Dissolution.

Medieval 2.3 Documents record, that by 1334, the Abbot of Hyde possessed a deer park as part his North Stoneham estate, and that it might have been in existence as early as the 1320s. There is little recorded information on the size and boundaries of the medieval park at North Stoneham, but Currie notes that the absence of documentary references or contemporary descriptions until after the Dissolution suggests that it was small and of limited importance (Currie 1992).

2.4 The presence of a substantial linear earthwork, variably comprising a bank and a ditch, and stretching from the Church of St. Nicholas beside North Stoneham Lane in the east to the end of Park Pond in the west, appears to confirm the location and course of the medieval park pale, primarily by virtue of the ditch being on the south (inner) side where the two features survive together (Currie 1992).

Post-medieval 2.5 There are some 16th century references to a deer park at North Stoneham, with the most interesting and informative being a document of 1599 transferring the manor to one Thomas Fleming. This confirms that the park was small in area (80 acres) and was leased to one Henry Knowles at that time. In the document it is described as comprising ‘arable land, pasture and wood-ground’. This suggests that it had ceased to fulfil its intended function and become mixed agricultural land following the Dissolution, when it was in the possession of the Earls of Southampton (Currie 1992).

2.6 Taylor’s map illustrates that the Park had been extended by 1759; taking in Home Wood in the west and meeting Chestnut Avenue in the north. The form of the old mansion cannot be determined from the small sketch included on Taylor’s map, but

it can be implied that it comprised at least two ranges set at ninety degrees to each other from the arrangement of landscape features within the park. In that regard, the key features are the two linear avenues of trees that march across the parkland to the north/north west and to the south west.

2.7 As far as the site is concerned, it seems clear that the land came to form part of North Stoneham Park for the first time in the 17th or early 18th centuries, with the planting of an avenue south west to a summerhouse/banqueting house adjacent to the Winchester Road illustrating and demonstrating the extent of the Fleming family’s ownership.

2.8 The third principal phase in the development of North Stoneham Park followed the descent of the estate to John Willis Fleming, who decided to have the old mansion, located adjacent to the parish church, demolished in 1818. In its place, he commissioned Thomas Hopper to design and build a ‘new mansion’ approximately 400 metres further to the west and facing west towards the Winchester Road. At the same time, Hopper was commissioned to build ‘Temple Lodge’, a building designed in the manner of a Greek temple and facing east towards the Stoneham Lane entrance, and also redesign the existing summerhouse/banqueting house - to create a building known as the ‘Belvedere’. Although largely demolished in circa 1900, elements were retained as a modest lodge house and were later incorporated into a bungalow which still survives.

2.9 In 1953 the Fleming family sold their estate at North Stoneham Park to Mr. Cousins, who proceeded to split it up and sell the parcels of land off piecemeal, and therefore create the diverse ownerships which characterise the Park to this day.

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 and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014). The evaluation was designed to be minimally intrusive and minimally destructive to the remains present. The information gathered during the course of the evaluation will enable the client to assess the viability of incorporating the former garden terrace of North Stoneham House into their designs.

4. METHODOLOGY

4.1 The fieldwork comprised the machine excavation of three trenches, 3m long and varying in width between 1.2 and 4m wide, in the locations shown on the attached plan (Figure 2). Only three of the proposed four trenches in the WSI could be excavated as a result of woodland and, restraints created by the surviving remains of the garden terrace. The trenches were attempted to be set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS however, due to overhead tree cover a consistent signal could not be achieved. As a result of this the trenches were placed in areas between trees and where the gradient of the ground level suggested remains were less substantial. The location of the trenches was recorded by measuring using hand tapes from an exposed southeast corner of the surviving terrace wall. This was then georeferenced using on to Ordnance Survey (OS) 1868 and 1897 maps which show the location of the garden terrace.

4.2 All trenches were excavated by mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under constant archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological horizon or the natural substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where archaeological deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual.

4.3 Deposits were assessed for their palaeo-environmental potential in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites and, no deposits were identified that required sampling. All artefacts recovered were processed in accordance with Technical Manual 3 Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation.

4.4 The archive from the evaluation is currently held by CA at their offices in Andover. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will be deposited with the Hampshire Cultural Trust. The Stone Balusters collected will be returned to site. A summary of information from this project, set out within Appendix B, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain.

5. RESULTS (FIGURES 2-6)

5.1 This section provides an overview of the evaluation results; detailed summaries of the recorded contexts are to be found in Appendix A.

5.2 The natural geological substrate was not reached in any of the three trenches excavated. Trench 1 and 2 did contain a friable pale brown fine sand gravel bedding layer at the base of the trenches which was used as a foundation for the garden terrace walls. This layer was revealed at an approximate depth of 1.07m and was an average thickness of 0.45m. All trenches were then covered with friable dark greyish-brown sandy silt topsoil, which was largely the result of decaying woodland mulch.

5.3 Trenches 1, 2 and 3 contained 19th century structural remains associated with the garden terrace of the former North Stoneham house.

Trench 1 (Figures 2, 3 & 4)

5.4 Trench 1 contained the 19th century terrace wall 102. Wall 102 consisted of mid orange, unfrogged and machine extruded bricks (110 x 66 x 228mm in size) laid in seven courses of English bond using a hard, pale yellow coarse sand cementitious mortar bonding material. The wall was orientated north-west/south-east and measured 1.28m long, >0.28m wide and 0.54m high. Wall 102 represents the southwest facing elevation of the upper garden terrace wall, which is plotted on the 1868 OS map of the area. A continuation of this wall can be seen in Trench 2. Wall 102 was constructed on gravel bedding layer 101 (described above).

Trench 2 (Figures 2, 3 & 5)

5.5 Trench 2 contained 19th century walls 202 and 203. Wall 202 represents a continuation of the south-west facing elevation of the upper garden terrace wall 102. This was constructed in the same manner as described above with thirteen brick courses surviving. There was some evidence that this elevation was faced with thick facing slabs of either sandstone or limestone ashlar blocks c. 80mm thick. Wall 202 measured >1.67m long, >0.30m wide and 1.52m high and was abutted by wall 203. Both were constructed on gravel bedding layer 201.

7 © Cotswold Archaeology Chestnut Avenue, North Stoneham Park, Eastleigh, Hampshire: Archaeological Evaluation

5.6 Wall 203 was constructed using a mixture of mid orange, unfrogged and machine extruded bricks (110x66x228mm in size) and re-used ashlar blocks laid in twelve courses in an irregular bond using a hard pale yellow coarse sandy cementitious mortar bonding material. It abuts wall 202, in a south-west/north-east orientation and measured >3.1m long and 1.07m high. The presence of rendering on the north-west face suggests this would have been faced with ashlar slabs in a similar fashion to 202. It sits on a 25mm thick ‘screed’ of cementitious mortar, which in turn sits on gravel bedding layer 201, which continues beyond the south-west limit of Trench 2 and may represent an ambulatory brick pavement as seen in Trench 3 (309).

5.7 Wall 203 appears to be the retaining wall for an arched buttress, identical to 307 in Trench 3, which would have abutted and supported the upper garden terrace wall and its associated staircases down to the lower terrace. The buttress corresponds with a staircase plotted on the 1868 and 1896 OS maps of the area, along the southwest face of the garden terrace wall. The reuse of ashlar terrace facing blocks in the buttress end wall construction suggests that repairs and perhaps minor adjustments to the structure may have taken place at some point but there is no evidence that any major changes occurred during this period.

Trench 3 (Figures 2, 3 & 6)

5.8 Trench 3 contained 19th century wall 301, vaulted brick buttress 304, and brick pavement 309. Wall 301 consists of a stone foundation 302, a brick superstructure 303 and moulded stone facing 304.

5.9 Stone foundation 302 was only partially exposed and consisted of a pale grey limestone or sandstone. Sitting on this, was wall superstructure 303, which consisted of mid-orange, unfrogged and machine extruded bricks (108 x 68 x 222mm in size) on a northeast/southwest orientation. It was bonded using a hard, pale yellow coarse sandy cementitious mortar bonding material. The wall measured >3.35m long, 0.58m wide and >1.20m high. The lowest courses were covered with rendering making bonding and the number of courses impossible to see, however at least four courses were in an English garden wall bond with a further seven courses in an English cross bond. These may represent different phases of building or a later repair, but due to heavy rooting on the top seven courses it is difficult to ascertain a true relationship. A number of worked stone balustrade fragments were recovered

from topsoil 300 surrounding the walls so it seems that the terrace walls would have been topped by a stone balustrade.

5.10 On the south-east face of wall 303 was a moulded limestone or sandstone block with rendering or further facing ashlar blocks which have fallen off. This would have been the facing for the lower garden terrace as seen on the 1868 OS map, with the superstructure 302 continuing to the north-east and making up the south-east face and corner of the upper garden terrace wall which 304 abuts. As a result of this rendering, moulded stone and heavy rooting, it is not clear how 301 and the southeast continuation of 102 and 202 tie in together.

5.11 Vaulted buttress 304 consists of a deposit of gravel 306, a brick arch 307 and a brick retaining wall 308. Gravel deposit 306 is identical to gravel bedding layers 101 and 201 and appears to have been deliberately placed to help support brick arch 307.

5.12 Brick arch 307 consists of a stretcher-on-edge construction, using mid-orange/red, unfrogged and machine extruded bricks (108x68x226mm in size) bonded with a hard, pale yellow coarse sandy cementitious mortar. It measures 3.70m long and 2.80m wide and abuts the southeast face of the upper garden terrace wall 303. This appears to have been built to support the original staircase. Three rectangular areas of cement and extant brick on the south-east face of the arch may represent the remnants of the staircase. Surrounding this arch is retaining wall 308, similar to wall 203.

5.13 Retaining wall 308 consists of mid orange bricks (108 x 68 x 221mm in size) in an English Cross bond using a hard pale yellow coarse sandy cementitious mortar. It abuts the southeast face of wall 301, running southeast for 3.20m, before turning northeast and continuing for >3.00m and measured 0.23m wide and 0.68m high. There was some evidence of a thin stone facing on the southwest face. It is abutted by pavement 309 to its southeast.

5.14 Pavement 309 consists of a single course of mid orange/red brick (111 x 86 x 221mm in size) in a header bond using a hard pale yellow coarse sandy cementitious mortar bonding material. This abuts retaining wall 308 and likely represents an ambulatory pavement around the base of the garden terrace, as possibly recorded in Trench 2. The pavement was not mapped on the 1896 OS

map, this could be either because the map lacked sufficient detail to pick it up or that it was built as a later addition.

6. ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENTS

6.1 At the request of the client EDP UK, a small number of stone balusters from the terrace balustrade found on site were recovered. These are currently being stored at the Andover office of Cotswold Archaeology

6.2 The limestone balusters were recovered from the overburden within each trench and were split into three parts. The top and bottom parts have an angled base indicating that they were used on an incline which corresponds with the area excavated. The components are of a basic bellied shape with a plain disk at the base with concaved moulding. Above and below the bellied section is a rim and at the top of the baluster is a collar topped by a secondary disk. One top section had a patch of lime mortar in the centre, indicating this was the bounding material. There is no evidence to indicate that these are not contemporary with the 19th century house and terrace and were probably knocked down and left during the demolition of the house.

7. DISCUSSION

7.1 The structures recorded in the three excavated trenches can all be attributed to the 19th century garden terrace of the former North Stoneham House.

7.2 Walls 102, 202, 203 and 301 correspond with structures plotted on an 1897 OS map and help to show that much of the terrace that was recorded still survives in a reasonable condition. The vaulted terrace (304) is most likely the remains of a structure built to support a staircase and appears on both the 1868 and 1896 OS maps as a set of stairs. In addition to this an ambulatory pavement (309) was also recorded that did not appear on the OS maps and although this might be a later addition it is more likely that the mapping lacked the detail required to record it.

7.3 Differences in the steepness of the current ground level of the collapsed terrace edges appear to equate to the presence of structures underneath the surface. This was highlighted by the two rectangular staircases mapped on the southwest face of the upper garden terrace on the 1868 and 1896 OS maps which correspond with

10 © Cotswold Archaeology Chestnut Avenue, North Stoneham Park, Eastleigh, Hampshire: Archaeological Evaluation

two patches of ground that had more gradual slope. This may be helpful in informing any later works which may be undertaken.

7.4 Throughout the course of the evaluation it was clear that significant amounts of the garden terraces still survived under the present day ground surface. Whilst the upper courses of walls which were exposed and subject to tree roots were in a bad condition, the lower courses were preserved enough that the construction methods could be seen and recorded. In addition evidence for how the structure was finished and decorated was also discovered and should help inform plans for any incorporation of the garden terrace in any future development.
