Several post-medieval stone features were uncovered, possibly relating to a structure at the Hine Spring visible on the 1841 tithe map. Puddling clay was identified at the base of the pond, covered by demolition rubble and refuse material related to the disuse of the pond up to the present day. Later 20th century hydrological works have heavily disturbed the area, especially to the east of the pond, where the wall is no longer evident and modern hardcore has been deposited. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Great Linford Manor Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire: Archaeological Watching Brief 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In September 2017 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for The Parks Trust at Great Linford Manor Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (centred at NGR:485159 242330; Fig. 1). The Parks Trust has been awarded Development Stage funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Big Lottery “Parks for People” programme to “reveal, revive and restore” Great Linford Manor Park (The Parks Trust 2017). The watching brief was undertaken during groundworks associated with the build condition and hydrological investigations being carried out during the development phase. 1.2 The watching brief was carried out on the recommendation of Nick Crank, Milton Keynes Council Senior Archaeological Officer (MKCSAO). A subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) was produced by CA (2017) and approved by Milton Keynes Council acting on the advice of Nick Crank. The fieldwork also followed Standard and guidance: Archaeological watching brief (CIfA 2014). It was monitored by Nick Crank, including a site visit on 4th September 2017. The site 1.3 The site lies immediately south of an 18th century ornamental water garden (Fig. 2), 100m south of the Grand Union Canal, 100m to the north-west of the privately owned Great Linford Manor and immediately to the north of late 17th century alms- houses. The site is situated at approximately 70m above Ordnance Datum (aOD), with the ground level dropping away slowly to the north (towards the Grand Union Canal) and rising to the south. 1.4 The site covers approximately 25m2 and is currently part of a public park associated with the privately owned Great Linford Manor. The park is bisected by the Grand Union Canal and the Newport Pagnell railway. 1.5 The underlying bedrock geology of the area consists of limestone and clay of the Blisworth Formation formed during the Jurassic Period (BGS 2017). No superficial deposits are recorded by the BGS. No natural geology was encountered during the watching brief although the manhole at the south of the site covers a spring welling from the natural bedrock described above. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Great Linford Manor Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire: Archaeological Watching Brief 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 The archaeological background for the manor and grounds is drawn from information contained in the Draft Conservation Management Plan (DCMP) (AHaCL 2013). The following summary has been taken from the DCMP and is supplemented by Historic Environment Record (HER) data for the site and surrounding area. Prehistoric (Pre AD43) 2.2 Aerial photography identified a possible prehistoric (Early Neolithic to Bronze Age) ring ditch (MMK1199) within the northern part of the manor grounds, just north of the canal to the west of the Lower Pond (MMK5455) and Cascade (MMK5456). Early medieval (AD410 – AD1066) 2.3 A truncated Saxon soil sealed beneath the medieval floor levels of St Andrew’s Parish Church (MMK2084) contained abraded Saxon pottery fragments and bone. In addition, service trenching in the graveyard produced additional pottery sherds, suggesting an early to mid-Saxon settlement in the area of the church, which may date to the later Saxon period. Excavation work by Milton Keynes Archaeological Unit in the nave of the church (EMK75) uncovered the foundations of the pre-12th century church building. Medieval – Post-medieval (AD1066 – AD1800) The manor and grounds 2.4 The first building, a substantial medieval or Tudor hall house (MMK2473), was erected at Great Linford in the 14th or 15th century; previous excavation work (EMK518) by Milton Keynes Archaeological Unit revealed stone foundations of the hall, cross-passage and service room. Its footprint is now located partially under the South Pavilion. In 1633 the Manor House (MMK2472) was acquired by Sir Richard Napier and subsequently sold to Sir William Pritchard by 1679. Between1688-90 the original house was demolished and a new manor constructed on the opposite side of the main street. The single-storey, stone alms-houses (MMK2858) were constructed within the grounds between 1696-97, with the village church St Andrew’s Parish Church (MMK2084) being subject to large-scale renovation works between 1709-10. The early manor grounds were laid out as a formal system of three terraces at the rear of the house, with two steep, distinct banks to the north and south. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Great Linford Manor Park, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire: Archaeological Watching Brief 2.5 Between 1720-40 the Manor House (MMK2471) was altered on at least two separate occasions, firstly through the addition of the North and South Pavilions (around 1725), formalising a more axial plan of the grounds. The Great Room or Ballroom was added sometime between 1740-50. An inventory dating to 1758 records 21 rooms within the building, as well as a large service area on the north side. Landscape designer Richard Woods produced a landscape design plan for the neighbouring estate of Little Linford in 1761 but it is not clear if this was implemented. There were plans for the intensive re-landscaping of the manor grounds, introducing the water gardens, Doric seat (MMK5782) and ha-ha consistent with the English Landscape style. The manor itself was re-fronted around 1780, with the walled garden likely appearing during this time. 2.6 During the 19th century the estate was severely truncated by the construction of the Grand Union Canal in 1800, followed by the completion of the Newport Pagnell Railway Company line, just beyond and parallel to the canal, in 1865. The railway line was taken over in 1875 by the London & North Western Railway, and converted into a pedestrian and cycle way after its closure in 1964. 2.7 The Manor and Grounds passed from private ownership to the Development Corporation during the 20th century. The Manor was subsequently converted into an arts centre, with new access ways and parking

Milton Keynes Council established in its Core Strategy a target of delivering 28,000 homes in the period from 2010 to 2026; an average of 1,750 homes per year. This target is split 26,240 in the urban area and 1,760 across the rural rest of the Borough. 1.2 There is a need to ensure that there is choice and flexibility in land supply across the Borough. This will help maintain completion rates and enable the Council to demonstrate it has a five year supply of land, which is a strict government requirement. Problems with this can arise because, despite there being enough land available, it is not being built out quickly enough to meet the Core Strategy’s annual housing targets.

The church and some houses stood on higher ground above the river but, perhaps in response to the marshy nature of the lower ground, the road was diverted eastward from where the Nag’s Head now stands, along the brow of the hill, before heading north once more, leaving the church and early settlement isolated.

The latter cut undated Pit F1007. The fill (L1008) of Pit F1007 consisted of a compact pale grey, with red, orange and yellow mottling, crushed limestone. This suggests the possibility that the feature may have been a footing or pad for a large post. Pit F1004 may represent the deliberate removal of the post.

Haversham-cum-Little Linford Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and Haversham-cum-Little-Linford Parish Council have been working for a considerable time to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish. We have been assisted in this by Oneill Homer, a leading consultancy who have assisted Parish and Town Councils around the country to produce well over 100 Neighbourhood Plans, including several in Milton Keynes. The cost of this consultancy work has been paid for by a government grant. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? A document that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area – planning policies are used to decide whether to approve planning applications. Written by the local community, the people who know and love the area, rather than the Local Planning Authority. A powerful tool to ensure the community gets the right types of development, in the right place. What is this document for? We had hoped to hold a public meeting / exhibition to discuss the significant work undertaken so far and find out YOUR views of our policy intents and the potential development sites offered by landowners.

  • Late Medieval Buckinghamshire
    SOLENT THAMES HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH FRAMEWORK RESOURCE ASSESSMENT MEDIEVAL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (AD 1066 - 1540) Kim Taylor-Moore with contributions by Chris Dyer July 2007 1. Inheritance Domesday Book shows that by 1086 the social and economic frameworks that underlay much of medieval England were already largely in place. The great Anglo Saxon estates had fragmented into the more compact units of the manorial system and smaller parishes had probably formed out of the large parochia of the minster churches. The Norman Conquest had resulted in the almost complete replacement of the Anglo Saxon aristocracy with one of Norman origin but the social structure remained that of an aristocratic elite supported by the labours of the peasantry. Open-field farming, and probably the nucleated villages usually associated with it, had become the norm over large parts of the country, including much of the northern part of Buckinghamshire, the most heavily populated part of the county. The Chilterns and the south of the county remained for the most part areas of dispersed settlement. The county of Buckinghamshire seems to have been an entirely artificial creation with its borders reflecting no known earlier tribal or political boundaries. It had come into existence by the beginning of the eleventh century when it was defined as the area providing support to the burh at Buckingham, one of a chain of such burhs built to defend Wessex from Viking attack (Blair 1994, 102-5). Buckingham lay in the far north of the newly created county and the disadvantages associated with this position quickly became apparent as its strategic importance declined.
