An Historic Environment Record Search for Aldington Parish This document contains your Historic Environment Record search for Aldington Parish. The following pages will provide an overview of our service alongside an explanation of the documentation included and guidance on its use. This is followed by an archaeological summary for your search area including a list of statutory designations, historic and modern mapping including the HER records, and finally the reports from individual records.

The Worcestershire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the largest collection of archaeological information in the County with details of over 26,000 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 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 01905 766 351 or [email protected].

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.

We would be extremely grateful to receive new information that may emerge during the course of your research in order for us to continue improving the scope, quality and reliability of Worcestershire's Historic Environment Record.

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 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. If you have requested these they will be included below.

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.

Maps included in this report are: 1. 1887 1st Edition Ordnance Survey, © Crown Copyright. 2. 1905 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey, © Crown Copyright. 3. 1938 4th Edition Ordnance Survey, © Crown Copyright. 4. 1954 – 1963 5th Edition Ordnance Survey, © Crown Copyright. 5.

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.

We will provide details of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, along with maps showing their locations. The boundaries shown on our maps are intended to be a guide only and the precise location of any SAM must be obtained from English Heritage.

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 721130 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.english- heritage.org.uk/professional/research/landscapes-and-areas/characterisation/West-Midlands- Farmsteads-Landscapes-Project.

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. Consequently, use of the library is covered by a variety of legal instruments to protect us, our users and those who supply data to us.

Planning National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published in 2012 replacing Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment (PPS5). It sets out the Government's planning policies, including those on the conservation of the historic environment. 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. In order to do so you will be required to undertake a commercial search of the HER. Please contact us if you require this service or further advice in relation to planning policy and archaeology.

Archaeological Summary for Aldington Parish

An HER search was carried out on Aldington Parish on 15th January 2014. Within the parish lie 15 historic buildings, 7 of which are listed. These buildings range in date from the 17th to the 20th centuries with the listed buildings centred on the village.

The historic landscape is one of predominately Parliamentary enclosure with moderate boundary loss. The historic maps demonstrate that significant numbers of orchards and nurseries cover the majority of the parish from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. There is very little tree cover in the form of woodland or hedgerow trees within the area. The village of Aldington itself lies within a conservation area although the rest of the parish demonstrates very little above ground archaeology. Evidence of Roman occupation has been found in the southern tip of the parish with some palaeoenvironmental remains demonstrating the potential for further remains well below plough depth. The LiDAR survey of the area shows ridge and furrow although this does not appear to be visible on aerial photographs of the parish. The village itself is mentioned in the Domesday Book and this, combined with the ridge and furrow reflect the medieval period in the parish.

Archaeological work within the parish has been limited and comprises small pieces of work scattered throughout the county. The full list of archaeological events is included with this report.

* Please note an absence of archaeological sites in a particular area should not necessarily be interpreted as an absence of archaeology. It may be that surviving archaeology has not been identified in the HER for a number of reasons. If it is thought likely that archaeology could exist in such an area, then the HER team will inform you of this.

Statutory and other Designations Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAM) Scheduled monuments are those considered to be monuments of national importance. There are no Scheduled areas within the search area.*

Listed Buildings The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport holds a List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest, considered to be of national importance. Compiled under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the List includes structures from boundary walls and telephone boxes to cathedrals. There are 7 Listed Buildings within the search area.*

Conservation Areas A Conservation Area is an area considered worthy of preservation or enhancement because of its special architectural or historic interest, "the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance," as required by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (Section 69 and 70). There is 1 Conservation Areas within the search area.*

Registered Parks and Gardens English Heritage holds a Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. These Registered landscapes are graded I, II* or II, and include private gardens, public parks and other green spaces. They are valued for their design, diversity and historical importance. There are no Registered Parks within the search area.*

Registered Battlefields There are two Registered Battlefields in Worcestershire, The Battle of Evesham and The Battle of Worcester. Unlike Listed Buildings and the Register of Parks and Gardens, Registered Battlefields are not currently graded as a means of ascribing relative significance. There are no Registered Battlefields within the search area.*

Locally Listed Historic Buildings Worcester City, Redditch Borough and Wyre Forest District have a Schedule of Buildings of Local Interest in Worcestershire. These are buildings that are not of national importance, and therefore not Listed, but are considered to be of local or regional importance and make a significant contribution to the historic environment character of an area. There are no locally listed buildings within the search 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.

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM03601 Infirmary, Seyne House, Badsey Monument Monument Types and Dates

HOSPITAL (MEDIEVAL - 1066 AD to 1539 AD) Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

Description Infirmary for monks of Evesham Abbey in 14th century, granted 1545 to Sir Phil Hoby. [1]

From an early date there appears to have been a house at Badsey for the use of the sick and blooded (minuti) monks of Evesham. In 1328 Abbot Chiriton assigned the lands above referred to as belonging to William the steward with all the tithes of sheaves there to the chamberlain, who, in return, was to render every year for the bettering of the clothers of the brothers £10 of silver. Buildings were to be erected in the garden to accommodate the sick monks, and as often as they or other monks of the monastery who had obtained permission from the prior wished to feed there, they should receive from the cellar and kitchen the corrody belonging to them as fully as at the monastery. (IN Victoria County History Volume II taken from Tindal ). [2]

Seyne House is what is now the Manor according to the Badsey website "The Manor House is also called the 'Seyne House' because it was originally a sick house for the monks of Evesham Abbey. In 1545, after the dissolution of the monasteries, Sir Philip Hoby acquired it and rebuilt it as an Elizabethan manor house.". [3]

The extent of the hospital is not clear, if the buildings were 'in the garden' of Seyne House, then presumably they are somewhere within the polygon digitised in the HER, however, the exact location is unknown. The presence of 'Monk's Path' to the north and Synehurst Cresent within the polygonised area suggests that the infirmary was in this general area.

DEER PARK (14TH CENTURY AD to 16TH CENTURY AD - 1301 AD to 1600 AD) Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

Description The Victoria County History notes that the deer park was said to have been first enclosed by William Cheriton, Abbot of Evesham from 1317 to 1344 and planted with oak, ash, and other trees. Possibly intended for the recreation of sick monks in the infirmary he founded there. In 1542 it was granted to Sir Philip Hoby and there is reference to a park lodge in 1544. The park seems to have lain along the banks of the Faulk Mill Brook, and to have represented by a Farm called The Parks ... near the Avon. Assumed that Shrawnell Park is distinct from park documented in the 12th century. [1][2]

HER Number Site Name Record Type WSM31664 Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway Building Monument Types and Dates

RAILWAY (19TH CENTURY AD to 21ST CENTURY AD - 1854 AD to 2050 AD) Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE Evidence EXTANT BUILDING

Description Between 1845 when the Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was sanctioned by parliament to build the line, and 1854 when it was completed, the company were bedevilled by a chronic lack of working capital and the battle over the gauges. Most railways were built to a gauge of 1.453 metres but the Great Western Railway was built to the broad gauge standard of 2.134 metres. In 1844 a branch from Didcot ended at a temporary station at Oxford just south of the present station. It was intended as the first stage of a broad-gauge expansion into the Midlands and a starting point to Wolverhampton via Worcester. Worcester though, had begun to feel the benefits of rail travel when the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway provided a station at Spetchley some four miles east of the town in 1840. Every train was met by a coach. The Act for the broad-gauge Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was passed on 24/06/1845 and it was chosen in preference to the proposed standard-gauge London and Birmingham line to Worcester and Wolverhampton. By 1847 construction had started but working captal was always in short supply and men were laid off. There followed years of political intrigue and threats of litigation but in 1850 the first section of the line opened when the Midland Railway, who were keen to serve Worcester, opened a standard-gauge link between Abbotswood Junction and Worcester (Shrub Hill). Services began on 05/10/1850. On 18/02/1852 the line between Worcester (Shrub Hill) and Droitwich opened with new stations at , Droitwich and Stoke Works. Between Norton Junction and Eesham the line was now double-track. Trains were operated by the Midland Railway. On 04/06/1853 the line between Oxford and Evesham opened and in the same year running powers were granted to the GWR. On 18/03/1854 the line between Evesham and Honeybourne was closed as, contrary to the terms of the Act, it had been built to standard gauge. It re-opened on 20/03/1855 after a broad-gauge rail had been laid and the line doubled as far as Campden. On 14/06/1860 the Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway amalgamated with the Worcester and Hereford, and the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railways to form the West Midland Railway with effect from 01/07/1860. Through services from Wolverhampton to Paddington via Worcester commenced on 01/10/1861. On 01/08/1863 the West Midlands Railway was absorbed by the GWR. [1]

The first stretch to open was in 1850 and it ran from a temporary terminus in Worcester to Abbotswood Junction The line between Worcester and Evesham opened in 1852 and from Evesham to Wolvercote Junction (Oxford) in 1853. The line from Worcester to Droitwich Spa and the spur to Stoke Works opened in 1852, Droitwich to Stourbridge also opened a few months later in the same year. [2]

EVENT (ROMAN - 43 AD to 410 AD) Evidence UNSTRATIFIED FIND

Description WAW-AA3BB8. Base Silver coin. Recorded during Hidden Treasures Roadshow [1].

WAW-AA9AD5. An incomplete copper alloy Roman chatelaine plate brooch. The body of the brooch is a rectangular shape with a pointed upper edge. In the centre of the body there is a high-relief slightly hollow conical. Protruding from the upper three corners are integral decorative lugs, and from the lower two corners of the brooch there is a hinge. The central conical is decorated with low relief inverted triangular cells, 6 in total, one has traces of red enamel which is now a light green colour. On the body of the brooch, around the central conical there are more triangular cells, which some may have traces of yellow enamel within. The upper central lug is almost circular in plan and has a four petalled flower as decoration. Three of the fields around the flower are filled with yellow enamel, the fourth has blue enamel. The lugs on the upper side corners of the brooch are also circular with a central circular cell. There is possibly enamel within the field around this cell, but it is unclear whether there is any enamel in the central cell of the lug. The hinges on the lower corner are formed by integral lug with holes running through, there are traces copper alloy wire within the hinges. Johns illustrates a similar complete example (Figure 7.22) and discusses that these brooches are not often common Romano-British finds The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. Along the lower edge of the brooch there are two vertical lugs which provide the hinge mechanism for the pin. The pin is made from cast copper alloy and is hinged to the lugs with a fragment of copper alloy wire. The catch plate is at the upper most central corner/lug, and is complete. The surface of the bracelet has a well developed mid green patina. All the toiletry set is missing. It measures 40.6mm long and, 40.3mm wide. It weighs 12.79g [2].

WMID664. Brooch. Wings are incomplete, one wing is missing. The remaining wing is slightly concave, but not enough to contain a spring. No decoration is obvious on the bow. The catchplate is incomplete [3]. Sources (1) Internet Site: British Museum. 2007. Portable Antiquities Scheme.. The British SWR9225 Museum.

Description WMID4310. Cosmetic mortar. The loop is turned over, and is square in cross-section. The bow has quite thin walls compared to other examples. The bow quite elongated before broadening out, however once the bow broadens it is incomplete, and the edge is broken and abraded. The keel of the bow seems to be at its broadest point, and therefore suggests that it is nearly complete as the bow rises in profile quite steeply. The bow in cross-section is always a 'u' shape. At the keel of the bow, on the interior surface, there is corrosion which does not occur elsewhere. The corrosion is mainly green encrustation with traces of red copper oxide corrosion as well. Otherwise the object has a mid blue/green patina [1].

WMID4311. Miniature Object. The pommel is a trapezoidal shape in plan with rounded corners. In cross-section the pommel is an oval shape. The grip tapers towards the blade in plan. The grip appears to be decorated with horizontal grooves. The blade has parallel edges which are distorted on the lower portion of the blade due to ?damage, but not recent damage. The blade, in cross-section, is triangular before becoming distorted and then it appears to have been flattened. The only decoration on the item is a fine horizontal groove at the top of the blade. The majority of the surface has a red/brown colour, a conservator has suggested the sword maybe made of just copper. There are also traces of a beige coloured coating, particularly on the grip. On this coating there are even smaller traces of gilding [2].

WMID4312. Unidentified Object. The object is an elongated sub-triangular shape in plan. The base edge is slightly concave. The upper corner is slightly bulbous in plan with a small protruding '<' shape in one side edge. One face of this area has two oblique grooves forming a '/ \' shape. The surface of the item is heavily corroded, which expands up from the original surface. Some copper oxide corrosion is visible also [3].

WMID4313. Figurine. The object is a stylised finger tip which probably dates from the Roman period, although a later date is also possible. In plan it is rectangular. The two longer sides taper slightly, one of the narrow edges is rounded and the opposite edge is broken. This is not a recent break. The upper surface convex and the reverse is flat at its base. There is a crescentric incised line which represents the lower edge of the finger nail. Below this are two obliquely curved incised lines adding definition to the skin of the finger. The item has a slightly pitted dark green patina [4].

Description WAW-739F07. Roman Coin: it is either an as or a dupondius. Both of these dominations were in use from 23 BC to 260 AD. The style of the bust may suggest a 1st century date for this coin. It is very worn, therefore the legends are not visible [1].

WAW-89BDE3. A cast lead or lead alloy button. The button head is sub-circular in plan, the front is domed and the back flat. The back has a central integral loop, which is not sited on a stem terminal. The front of the head is decorated with a high- relief cross pattee with a central pellet, and the arms of the cross having transverse ridges. The surface has a matt beige coloured patina. The diameter of the head is 11.55mm diameter and 15.68mm long from the apex of the loop to the furthest edge of the head. It weighs 3.3g. Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate similar buttons, particularly, No. 1381 which is decorated and described as cast from a three-part mould. These buttons date to early 13th to 14th century [2].

WAW-969902. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of two sub-circular discs linked with an integral ribbon. The ribbon is folded in half, thereby the two discs lay over each other with the stud passing through the perforation in the second disc. Both discs have then been flattened and stamped with ‘?f // W’ on one face and ‘L 8’ on the other. The ‘f’ shaped figure may be a privy mark which identifies an artisan dyer (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet 3 Finds Research Group 700-1700 p. 4). The surface of the seal has oxidised forming a mottled cream/grey colour. It measures 24.79mm long, 18.11mm wide and 4.15mm thick. It weighs 7.7g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence Relating to Fabric and Trade’ Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. The seal probably dates to the 16th to 17th centuries [3].

WAW-A9F8D5. Medieval Coin: halfpenny of Edward I, II or III [4].

WAW-AE3AA5. A Post Medieval cast lead or lead alloy cloth seal. It is composed of a large sub-circular discs with a possible smaller second disc on the reverse. It is unclear how they are connected as there is no integral ribbon. The face of the large disc has a central ornate shield with a ‘+’ at the apex and an unclear design below. Around the edge there is a legend starting with a crescent and then possibly reading ‘RAE[ ]S[ ]’. The smaller disc on the reverse has ‘20’ slightly off the flan. The field around the smaller disc, on the reverse of the larger disc has a coating of feint pellets. The surface of the seal has oxidised forming a cream colour. It measures 27.82mm long, 26.72mm wide and 4.18mm thick. It weighs 8.9g. Cloth seals were in use between the 14th and 18th centuries (Egan, G. 1989 ‘Leaden Seals for Textiles – Some Archaeological Evidence Relating to Fabric and Trade’ Costume No. 23) as a form of quality control. Larger seals were used in the 17th to 18th century, for example from Colchester (Egan G. 1992 Leaden cloth Seals Datasheet 3 Finds Research Group 700-1700, Figure 11a-c) [5].

WAW-AED541. The portion of the buckle which remains is the apex of the loop and some of the sides. Egan and Pritchard illustrates similar frame(No. 421), but this is not decorated with a face. The face is possibly that of a man with a beard, but otheriwse there is no headwear or clothing visible. The London example is dated to the 14th century. It is made from cast copper alloy. The loop which protrudes from either side of the neck is triangular in section. Each terminal of the loop is broken, but not recently. The reverse of the frame is flat and flush with the protruding head. The object has a dark green shiny patina. It measures 21.6mm long, 19mm wide and weighs 1.88g [6].

WAW-AFDF12. A sub-circular cast copper alloy ring or loop, with a slender sub-pointed oval section. In profile the loop is slightly twisted. The loop has an abraded surface with traces of a mid green patina. It measures 26.13mm long, 24.24mm wide and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 1.5g. Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson’s, (1993) Norwich Households; Medieval Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 53 HER Number WSM38650 Report prepared by Worcestershire HER. Tel 01905 765560 or email [email protected]. Information valid for three months from date of production. and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58. Margeson describes them as being suspension rings which were probably multi-functional, including curtain rings. The three excavated from Norwich (No. 522-524) date from the mid 15th to mid 17th century. However the recorded example is possibly not as robust as these, and another function is likely [7].

WAW-C6DA15. Strap Fitting. The object is probably a type of strap guide. It has three integral components, an upper small loop, a connecting block and a lower large loop. The upper small loop is rectangular in plan, with the two upper corners being rounded. The hole in the centre is circular and is 3.93mm wide. The edge of this hole has a small casting sprue, which may suggest the object has not been used particularly often. Below the hole, on the outer and side faces there is a horizontal ridge. The second component, the integral connecting block has moulded decoration. Firstly a narrowed rectangular sectioned block which is seated above a sub-square shaped block which has concave outer and side faces. This portion is seated above the third component of the object, the large loop. The loop is perpendicular to the small upper loop. In profile the loop is an elongated drop shape with a horizontal tip. The outer face of the loop, along the edges, has three scallops on either side as decoration, forming three joined sub-oval shapes. Each oval is decorated with incised decoration consisting of a ‘X’ within a border which matches the shape of the oval. The reverse face of the loop, connecting black and small upper loop are flat, undecorated and flush with each other. There are obliquely angled file marks on the reverse. The surface of the object has a well developed mid grey patina. It measures 45.37mm long, 7.27mm wide and 9.21mm thick. The object weighs 6.81g. The object is likely to be a type of strap guide, either from a harness or a dress fitting. The date is more uncertain, but may be Medieval rather than Roman. This is suggested by the style of the incised decoration, the scalloped edges and the loop. However, Roman implements, such as toilet instruments have similar small upper loops and connecting integral blocks [8].

WAW-C6EE11. Post Medieval coin: an Irish farthing of Charles II, issued by Armstrong between 1660 and 1661 [9].

WAW-F76B32. A possible fragment a pro forma cast lead cloth seal. The seal is a sub-rectangle in plan with one terminal being abraded and therefore incomplete. In profile the pro forma is tubular and has then been flattened, which is probably intentional. The reverse plate is more incomplete than the upper plate. The upper plate has lettering in high-relief reading ‘XXXIIII’ within a rectangular beaded border. The reverse is has a possible high-relief design which is very feint and may include a ‘J’. The surface of the pro forma has a matte off-white coloured patina. It measures 26.39mm long, 17.69mm wide and 2.13mm thick, weighing 4.7g. Dr. Geoff Egan (Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Advisor) comments on a previous pro forma (WAW-79D3C6) found in Worcestershire that pro formas were cast with the dimensions ,as required by law, of a particular variety of cloth. 34 is may be the length in yards of the fabric or its weight. When examining the cloth government officials measured and weighed the cloth and checked it conformed to specifications. ‘Searched’ was stamped in the blank area below the figures, and then the seal was closed and fixed to the textile so it could be seen on the market stall. Egan goes on to comment that the seal dates from the transitional Medieval to Post Medieval period of the late 16th century to c1620, and this is probably the second to be discovered in Worcestershire. Other examples are illustrated in Egan, G. 1995 Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum British Museum Occasional Paper 93, Nos. 117 to 119 [10].

WAW-F794D6. A cast copper alloy pendant or mount which is possibly Early Medieval. The pendant or mount is an inverted sub-drop shape in the shape of a human face. From the back of the upper edge is there is an integral lug with a circular perforation at the apex of the loop. The perforation is slightly sub-circular, possibly due to wear along the upper edge, therefore suggesting it is a pendant rather than a mount. The pendant is domed in profile with a slightly hollow reverse. The head has straight hair depicted by slightly oblique linear grooves. The eyes have a central pellet within a oval frame. The nose is a high-relief sub-rectangle with slightly concave sides and rounded edges. Either the mouth or the moustache is depicted as a transverse ridge. The lower edge of the pendant becomes narrow in profile until it is broken. This break is not too recent. The surface of the mount has a mottled green/brown patina which is slightly abraded. It measures 30.89mm long, 13.81mm wide and 6.99mm thick. It weighs 7.4g. The face is similar in style to that found on other Early Medieval objects, such as a similar object recorded from Surry (SUR-350D51), or the 9th century lead vat recorded from Northamptonshire (WAW-A4D8D4). The function of the object is not certain [11].

WMID1159. An iron nail-like object. The head is sub-circular and slightly domed. The head has been slightly damaged and an edge has become straight. On the reverse there is a single stud in the centre which has a rectangular section and tapers to a point [12].

WMID1160. Fragment of a stoneware which has a salt-glaze. There is a high relief female bust within a circular border. The bust is wearing a cloth hat. The dress which is visible has a high lace neck, and a square collar. The fragment is slightly concave [13].

WMID1333. The arrowhead appears to be incomplete. There has been damage to one edge and the tip of the arrowhead, therefore the arrowhead would have been originally longer and triangular in shape [14].

WMID1832. The tile is slightly curved in profile. The item is only a fragment therefore the complete profile is not visible. At the apex of the curve there is a finial which is a leaning conical. There are traces of glaze on the upper surface of the tile. The fabric is a light orange/brown colour with sandy inclusions [15].

WMID1837. Single loop trapezoidal shaped buckle. The notched edge of the loop is expanded. The three other edges are the same widths and depth. Decoration consists of oblique notches on the edges of the buckle, with the expanded loop have two incised parallel lines forming an internal border. The reverse has four oblique notches on the expanded loop and traces of tinning. On the strap bar there is a trace of iron corrosion suggesting there was an iron pin [16].

WMID2263. Harness Pendant. The body of the pendant is a small quatrefoil which has a high relief square shape in the centre. Protruding from the upper petal is a lug perpendicular to the pendant. This lug has a small hole within which there are traces of iron. The lug is bent forwards slightly. The reverse is plain [17].

WMID4636. Dress Hook. The body of the dress hook is sub-circular with a rectangular loop protruding from the upper edge. Decoration of the body of the object consists of a border of annulets around a central larger annulet. Protruding from the lower edge is a hook which is semi-circular in cross-section and 'U' shaped in profile. The reverse is undecorated [18].

WMID5223. The fabric of the sherd which remains is a grey colour with an ornage exterior surface. The exterior surface is covered with a mid green coloured glaze. The vessel had been mended by lead. There appears to have been two holes in the vessel thereby the lead forms a loop around the sherd. The exteror surface of the lead is an irregular shape and appears to have been shaped by a two fingers because fingerprints are visible. On the interior of the vessel the lead is a relatively narrow band [19].

WMID588. Dress Hook. Triangular shape with a rivet hole in each top corner. The lower third corner has a possible worn zoomorphic head that leads to a hook. The border of the tag has an incised border groove which has perpendicular lines from the incised line to the edge [20].

WMID607. Circular cloth seal. Obverse has [ ] LEMS GO [ ] around the edge with a sword in the centre. The reverse has stars and lozenges around the edge and 2[ ] in the centre. The seal is two circular discs joined by a narrow band. The centre of the reverse appears to have been cut into a separate circular disc. Could this have been caused by the die? [21].

WMID6091. Medieval Silver Coin [22].

WMID628. Brooch. Only the upper plate remains. The plate is sub-trapezoidal in shape, with a knop on three sides of the plate. There is an elongated trapezoidal platform in the centre of the plate. From this platform an arched strip of copper alloy forms which has a broken edge, but which would have formed the upright of the brooch. On the reverse is a vertical protruding plate which is incomplete [23].

WMID660. Buckle. Narrowed and offset strap bar. Diagonal lines on the upper face as decoration. Part of the pin remains curled around the strap bar [24].

WMID661. Appears to be a rams head and neck. Ornate style. The reverse is straight and a flange it 90º runs across the upper edge. Something has broken off the base of the item. Possibly a mount? [25].

WMID674. Strap Fitting. The lower plate is sub-circular with four rivets in each corner. The upper plate is also sub-circular, however there is an oval shaped openwork at one end, leaving a small gap on the edge. On the upper plate there is incised decoration which appears to be two leaves creating a 'V' with a fleur-de-lis at the centre base. At this base there is a further rectangular shape which the lower plate lacks. This rectangular shape is moulded with two rows of four circular indentations. Two outer indentations are openwork, but maybe too small for rivets. Between the lower and upper plate there are traces of leather [26].

WMID675. Seal Matrix. Oval base. Hexagonal stem terminating in a trefoil loop. The device is a bird, like an heraldic eagle [27].

WMID676. Two long-cross hammered coins, both folded in half and interlocked with each other, forming a flat conical shape. One is a York penny, the other a Durham mint. Both Edward I [28].

Description Range of single and two storey stone farm buildings of 18th century date, with 19th and 20th century modifications. Recorded on 1808 Inclosure award plan and 1st Edition OS Map. Photographs available as part of 1960s Badsey Photographic survey. [1] [2] [4]

Historic building recording undertaken (The Forge and Grace's Barn) by 110 Archaeology 2010 prior to conversion to residential accomodation. Grace's Barn was originally divided into four bays and clearly designed as stables. doors opposite the west and east gave access for horse to Mill Lane. The eastern bay retains its origianl stone paving. More recntly, part of the western bay was partitioned off by a breeze block wall to form a garage for an adjacent property. The Forge was originally two storeys high and the quality of its construction suggests that the stone came from Evesham Abbey (after dissolution). The remains of finely cut limestone mangers were discovered along the west and east walls and these suggest that this building was actually a cow shed, with the firt floor used for hay or fodder storage. The removal of the first floor and insertion of a large doorway reflect changes to farming practices in the later 19th/early 20th century. [3] Sources (1*) Index: . 2008.

HOUSE (20TH CENTURY AD to 21ST CENTURY AD - 1970 AD to 2050 AD) Evidence PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE Main Building BRICK Material Main Building TILE Material (Former Type) BAPTIST CHAPEL (19TH CENTURY AD to 20TH CENTURY AD - 1880 AD to 1970 AD) Evidence CARTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE Evidence DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE Evidence EXTANT BUILDING

Description This was a small rented building, formerly used for farming purposes, and has belonged for several generations to the Byrd family of Aldington. It seems that it was first opened as a Sunday School, not tied to any stated denomination (although the Byrds were Baptists), and that everyone was welcome. The earliest known record is the Sunday school minute book of 1888, which starts off by saying that the Sunday School had been flourishing for some years but that no records has been kept. It also records that in 1888 there were 90-100 children attending, with 11 teachers. One must assume that conditions were very cramped or that some of the classes were held outdoors, whichwould oftne have been the case in the summer months. In the 20th century the building was used by various denominations for adult services, but the Sunday School records continue until 1929. The late William Hartwell of Northwick Road, Evesham, was employed for many years by Burlinghams of Evesham, took a keen interest in the work at Aldington, and it is generally understood that adult services continued at the chapel at irregular times until the 1970s. Services were usually on Sunday evenings and mid-week for adults. Chidren had a Sunday afternoon service. The furniture was removed in the 1970s in the belief that demolition was imminent. The hand carved pulpit is in Bretforton chapel, and the building is now a private dwelling. [1] [3]

At the entrance to the lane, on the eastern side, Ivy House, dating back to about the 18th century, was situated, together with farm buildings and a pair of old cottages; they were, until the late 19th century, the only development along this road. In the 1870s, a chapel was erected just past the farm buildings, and a pair of semi-detached cottages. Ivy House and the farm buildings were demolished about 1970 to make way for the development of a cul-de-sac known as The Hop Gardens, but the cottages, called Ivy Cottages, survived (one half being given the address of Chapel Lane, the other half being given the address of The Hop Gardens). The former chapel was converted into residential accommodation in 1981 and, in the 1990s, two detached residences, Ivy House and Ivy Farm House (named after the house which had been pulled down) were built to the north of the original site [2] Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: Cox, G B. 1982.

SURFACE (18TH CENTURY AD - 1701 AD? to 1800 AD?) Evidence SUB SURFACE DEPOSIT Main Building LIAS Material Main Building STONE Material

Description Surfaces identified during evaluation on land to rear of Manor Court, Mill Lane, Aldington. Intepreted as trackways and dated to 18th century by a single sherd of pottery. The surface in the northern trench was made of stones with worn surfaces and rounded edges, the edge of the surface was also visible in the trench. In the trenches to the south of the building two further surfaces were identified. The first comprised two layers of roughly laid stone with some wear to the surfaces of the stones. The second partially overlay the first and was made up of similarly sized stones of Lias and was less compact. There was no trace of wheel ruts on either surface.[1]

Surfaces interpreted as trackways in evaluation report although yard surfaces could be equally as likely around buildings. Dates are conjectural. No trackways shown on Aldington Inclosure map (1808).[2] Sources (1*) Unpublished document: Cook, S.. 2011. Land to the Rear of Manor Court, Mill SWR20312 Lane, Aldington, Worcs.

HOUSE (18TH CENTURY AD to 21ST CENTURY AD - 1754 AD to 2050 AD) Covering Building TILE Material Evidence EXTANT BUILDING Main Building LIMESTONE Material

Description The East Range (Millstone Cottage) consists of a single storey open-shed dated in centre of back (east wall) 1754, built of coursed Lias-rubble with limestone dressings. Two 19th century (brick) loose boxes to the north, presently a garage. Transverse-gables over large opening to south destroyed during construction in 1970s of the existing one-and-a-half storey dwelling (Millstone Cottage) with east gable, and single-storey extension in angle with barn to the south-west. A historic building recording survey undertaken by 110 Archaeology, took place in June and July 2012 of the farm buildings belonging to Aldington Manor (Manor Court) and included the 'Triple Barn' and the east range, which is mostly formed by the 18th century Millstone Cottage. During the 19th century a corn mill, house and other buildings had formed part of the building range. During the survey remains of a medieval barn with at least eight bays was discovered and this tied in well with the documented date of late 14th century as the building of the Grange by Abbot Roger Zatton of Evesham in the late 14th century, and timbers from this structure appear to have been re-used when the barns were remodelled in the 18th century. [1]

The Manor House and Aldington Court, Aldington. Partially extant 17th century listed farmstead with unconverted buildings. Loose courtyard with L-plan range plus detached buildings to the third side of the yard. Additional, prominent detached elements to the main plan, including a smaller secondary yard. The farmhouse is attached to the agricultural range. There has been a partial loss (less than 50%) of traditional buildings. Located within or in association to a village. Large modern sheds are located to the side of the site. [2][3]

Finds and Environmental Data - None Recorded

Location Grid Reference SP 0640 4410 Sheet No. SP04SE Administrative Areas Civil Parish Aldington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description The archaeological recording consisted of a photographic record and observations on a trench excavated around the south, west and north sides of the building. No archaeological features or finds were identified. The building consists of three bays with pitched tile roof and walls of varied construction. The cider press lay at the south end of the building, and there was clear evidence that it has been rbuilt in the 20th century. The roof joists are not reused and there was evidence of repair during its lifetime. There were no fixtures or fittings to indicate an earlier or alternative use of the building. Nor was there any evidence for a cider mill, as distinct from the press. The exact date of the building is unclear but it is probably of the late 18th or early 19th century. It was probably built as a barn or cartshed, but it was known to be part of a smithy in the late 19th century. The cider press is probably 20th century [1] Sources (1*) Bibliographic reference: Vaughan Tom. 2003. Archaeological Recording, The SWR9416 Download Cider Mill, Aldington.

Location Grid Reference SP 0644 4406 Sheet No. SP04SE Administrative Areas Civil Parish Aldington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description A programme of historical building recording was undertaken in July 2010 at farmyard buildings called ‘Grace’s Barn’ and ‘The Forge’, The Hopkilns, Mill Lane, Aldington, Worcs. The survey revealed that these buildings share walling details with a large triple-barn on the south side of the farmyard and the single storey building on the east. Construction methods used in the roof of the triple barn and a stone on the east building dated 1742 suggest a major building programme in the middle of the C18th. The Inclosure award plan supports this date showing that ‘graces Barn and 'The Forge’ were already established by 1808. ‘Grace’s Barn was originally divided into four bays each with its own door to the farmyard and clearly designed as stables. Doors opposite the west and east doors give access for horses to Mill Lane along the north side. The eastern bay retains its stone paving which defines a cross-passage and stock pen at the east end of the building. Later brick paving in the south-eastern part is probably associated with the inserted doorway to ‘The Forge’ during later alterations to the building perhaps reflecting a change of use. In more recent times most of the western bay has been partitioned off by a breeze-block wall to form a garage for the adjacent property. The ‘Forge’ was originally of two storeys; the limestone ‘benches’ along the west and east walls are the remains of mangers, the timber parts removed, and identifies the building as the cow-shed, with the first floor probably used for hay storage. The removal of the first floor and other changes reflect a time when the function of the building changed to the housing and maintenance of large machinery.

Administrative Areas Civil Parish Aldington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description In June 2011 an archaeological investigation comprising 6 trenches totalling 90 linear metres, was carried out to the rear of Manor Court, Mill Lane, Aldington. Trench 1, to the north of the building, contained a rough stone surface interpreted as a farm track and a single sherd of 18th century pottery overlying this dates the construction and use of the track. The track was overlain by building debris which may be the result of major construction work associated with the erection of a barn during the 18th century. Trenches 2-6, to the south of the building, contained two further stone surfaces of similar construction, also interpreted as farm tracks. Various metal objects, dated stylistically and some unidentified, were retirieved from the trenches on the south side of the barn. No remains associated with 14th century great range documented as built by Abbot Roger Zatton (1380-1418) were revealved.[1] Sources (1*) Unpublished document: Cook, S.. 2011.

Location Grid Reference SP 0647 4404 Sheet No. SP04SE Administrative Areas Civil Parish Aldington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description In June 2012 a programme of historic building recording was carried out at Aldington triple barn and the adjacent east range (Millstone Cottage). The survey discovered a medieval barn of at least an eight bay masonry building. This fits perfectly with the documented date for the Grange built by Abbot Roger Zatton of Evesham at Aldington in the late 14th century. The current 21st century development will see both the barn and the east range preserved for posterity through a conversion to residential [1]. Sources (1) Unpublished document: Cook. S & Atherton.

Administrative Areas Civil Parish Aldington, Wychavon, Worcestershire Description The site known as Aldington Lodge, Evesham is proposed for redevelopment. The application site has been shown to have a moderate potential for Later Prehistoric activity principally relating to settlement throughout this period. There is also a low to moderate potential for Roman and medieval activity relating to sparse rural activities within this area and a low to moderate potential for encountering evidence for the post medieval land use in the form of removed field boundaries. This assessment suggests a low potential for remains of other period to survive on site. Existing impacts on any surviving archaeological deposits and features will mainly derive from the use of the land as an orchard and for cultivation from the 20th century onwards which is likely to have horizontally truncated below ground strata. This includes the cutting of field boundaries across the application site. On the basis of the available evidence, it is the conclusion of this report that an archaeological watching brief be carried out on intrusive groundwork's associated with the proposed development. This work can safely be secured by a suitably worded condition attached to the consented application Sources (1) Unpublished document: Nick Garland. 2013.
