1 30 48 Castle Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment for George Wimpey (West London) Ltd by Jennifer Lowe Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code CHW07/20 February 2007

2 Summary Site name: Castle Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire Grid reference: SU Site activity: Desk-based assessment Project manager: Steve Ford Site supervisor: Jennifer Lowe Site code: CHW07/20 Area of site: c. 930 sq m Summary of results: The site is located within an area of moderate archaeological potential. The site appears to have undergone little development in its more recent history and therefore if archaeological deposits were present they may be well preserved. The proposed development on the site includes provision for underground parking to the rear which will involve a degree of truncation across this portion of the site. As a result, further fieldwork may be required to establish to what extent archaeological deposits are present on this site.

3 30 48 Castle Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment by Jennifer Lowe Report 07/20 Introduction This desk-based study is an assessment of the archaeological potential of a plot of land located at Castle Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire (Fig. 1). The project was commissioned by Mr Gary Webster of George Wimpey (West London) Ltd, Stratfield House, Station Road, Hook, Hampshire, RG27 9PQ and comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains which may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Site description, location and geology The site currently consists of a row of buildings, Castle Street, approximately 1950s in date, the majority of which are in use as shops with residential accommodation above. An entrance way exists between properties 38 and 40 providing access to the rear, which is currently used for car parking. There are no obvious signs of terracing on the site and the carparking slopes steeply downwards from Castle Street to the rear. The development area is centred on NGR, SU and covers an area of approximately 930sq m. The site is located on hard white chalk with flints (BGS 1990) at height of approximately 80m above Ordnance Datum. Planning background and development proposals Planning permission has been granted by Wycombe District Council (05/07284/FUL) for the demolition of the existing structures on site and the erection of 6 x 1-bed, 14 x 2-bed and 4 x 3-bed flats with associated car parking. The intention is to reduce the ground level from Castle Street, to the rear of the property to make provision for underground parking (Fig. 8). Archaeology and Planning (PPG ) provides guidance relating to archaeology within the planning process. It points out that where a desk-based assessment has shown that there is a strong possibility of significant archaeological deposits in a development area it is reasonable to provide more detailed information from a field evaluation so that an appropriate strategy to mitigate the effects of development on archaeology can be devised: Paragraph 21 states: 1

4 Where early discussions with local planning authorities or the developer s own research indicate that important archaeological remains may exist, it is reasonable for the planning authority to request the prospective developer to arrange for an archaeological field evaluation to be carried out... Should the presence of archaeological deposits be confirmed further guidance is provided. Archaeology and Planning stresses preservation in situ of archaeological deposits as a first consideration as in paragraphs 8 and 18. Paragraph 8 states:...where nationally important archaeological remains, whether scheduled or not, and their settings, are affected by proposed development there should be a presumption in favour of their physical preservation... Paragraph 18 states: The desirability of preserving an ancient monument and its setting is a material consideration in determining planning applications whether that monument is scheduled or unscheduled... However, for archaeological deposits that are not of such significance it is appropriate for them to be preserved by record (i.e., fully excavated and recorded by a competent archaeological contractor) prior to their destruction or damage. Paragraph 25 states: Where planning authorities decide that the physical preservation in situ of archaeological remains is not justified in the circumstances of the development and that development resulting in the destruction of the archaeological remains should proceed, it would be entirely reasonable for the planning authority to satisfy itself... that the developer has made appropriate and satisfactory provision for the excavation and recording of remains. A similar line is taken by the Wycombe District Local Plan (WDLP 2004). Policy HE19 states: 1. Planning permission will not be granted for any proposed development which would harm unscheduled archaeological remains or their setting which are considered to be of County, regional or national importance and worthy of conservation. 2

5 2. On some sites it may be possible to accommodate the proposed development and keep important remains in situ. Planning permission may be granted where the applicant can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Council, that the important remains will be physically preserved in situ without harm to them. Details to ensure this should be submitted to the Council as part of the planning application. 3. In cases where the preservation of archaeological remains in situ is not merited, planning permission may be granted subject to provision being made for archaeological excavation and recording to the satisfaction of the Council. The site is located on the periphery of a Conservation Area. Policy HE11 of the WDLP (2004) provides guidance on developing adjacent to Conservation Areas. Development will not be permitted which, although not wholly or partly located within a Conservation Area, might nevertheless have a visibly adverse effect upon the area s special character or appearance, including intrusiveness with respect to any recognised or recorded familiar views affecting the designated area. Methodology The assessment of the site was carried out by the examination of pre-existing information from a number of sources recommended by the Institute of Field Archaeologists paper Standards in British Archaeology covering desk-based studies. These sources include historic and modern maps, the Buckinghamshire Sites and Monuments Record, geological maps and any relevant publications or reports. Archaeological background General background As can be seen from the survey of the Buckinghamshire SMR (below) no evidence of prehistoric activity is recorded within the study area. In broader terms the prehistory of this region is indeed poorly understood in comparison to some of its more archaeologically rich neighbours such as the Thames Valley or other chalkland areas such as the Wessex region (Farley 1995). Despite this, several monuments are noted in this region including several Iron Age hillforts and Roman villas. Bronze Age remains have also been located at Wycombe Marsh (VCH 1925). 3

6 The SMR records a moderate amount of Roman archaeology within the town, including some stray finds as well as some remains indicating the possible presence of settlement in the town. The town is not located along one of the major Roman thoroughfares. Excavation to the east of Wycombe at Penn Mead has identified a substantial Roman settlement. (VCH 1925). Buckinghamshire Sites and Monuments Record A search was made of the Buckinghamshire Sites and Monuments Record for a radius of approximately 100m around the site, on 12 February This revealed a total of 47 entries. The entries are plotted on Figure 1 and listed in Appendix 1, a summary of which is given below. Prehistoric There were no entries for this period. Roman Roman activity is quite well recorded in High Wycombe. Amersham Hill, located to the north-east of Castle Street, is thought to have been in use in the Roman period, if not earlier [Fig 1; 1]. The SMR records Roman finds from High Street in the form of pottery and coins as well as a fragment of wall [2]. To the north-west of the site fragments of another Roman wall have been recorded at Wesley Methodist Chapel [3]. A Roman well and tessellated floor are recorded at The Priory, Castle Street [4]. Further Roman activity is recorded at Church Square, adjacent to All Saint s Church, where a 1st-century inhumation cemetery is noted [6]. Saxon The only entry which relates to this period is for two inhumation burials recorded in the grounds of Castle Hill House [12]. Finds associated with the bodies included a bead, necklace, brooch and sword. Medieval The largest number of entries in the SMR relate to this period. There is a general entry for High Wycombe itself, whose origins are thought to lie in the 11th century [13]. Medieval activity is recorded in Priory Road where 13th-century features are noted in the form of a house platform, a well and a posthole [5]. All Saint s Church is medieval in origin [6] as is the Guildhall [8] and a watermill on the east side of St Mary s Churchyard [9]. This mill is also marked on the 1945 Ordnance Survey map as a corn mill and was clearly still in use at this time. 4

7 Several entries relate to Castle Hill House and more specifically the Scheduled Ancient Monument located adjacent to it [12]. The entries record the site as a possible motte and bailey, as well as a ringwork or possible garden feature; little is actually known about the origins of the mound. Other entries relating to Castle Hill House include a well and the possible location of a tunnel (undated), a mine and an ice house also undated. Fieldwork carried out opposite the site at Castle Street recorded archaeological activity in the form of a pit [7]. The SMR also records the presence of a possible farmstead and road. Post medieval activity was also noted in the form of a building and 19th century terracing was also recorded. Post medieval Vaults, at All Saint s Church, and St Mary s are recorded as being post-medieval [6, 10]. Castle Hill House and its formal gardens are listed in the SMR [12]. The building itself is Listed and both house and garden date from the 16th century. A post medieval pit is recorded at the Union Baptist Church [14]. A wall and grave cut discovered at All Saint s Churchyard are recorded as 19th century [6]. Modern There is an entry for a 20th-century furniture factory, which was formerly station works, on Amersham Hill [7]. An entry for the 20th-century Roman Catholic church of St Augustine locates it on Castle Street and includes a grid reference which places this on the proposal site [11], but this church was founded in 1956 on Amersham Hill and no earlier incarnation of it is marked on the historic maps for Castle Street. There are several findspots recorded in the SMR however there is no further detail as to date or indeed the nature of the finds. Scheduled Ancient Monuments There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments on the site itself, however the site of a Norman motte is located approximately 150m to the north of Castle Street. The redevelopment at Castle Street is not considered close enough to impact upon this Scheduled Ancient Monument. Cartographic and documentary sources High Wycombe is first recorded in AD970 as Wicumun meaning place at the dwellings or settlements (Mills 1998), and is later recorded in Domesday Book as Wicumbe. By the time of Domesday Book (1086) it is recorded as being held by Robert d Oilly and was assessed at 10 hides with land for 30 ploughs. There were 40 5

8 villans, 8 bordars, 8 slaves, 4 boors (inferior peasants) and 6 mills. There is mention of meadow for 3 ploughs and for the horses of the court as well as woodland for 500 pigs. In total it is worth 26 which was an improvement upon the 10 when received. The site of the possible motte and bailey castle, located to the north of the site is of some interest. There is little documentary evidence for the construction of the castle, although it is known that a siegework was constructed by Stephen in 1153; it is unclear if this relates to the castle site or another as yet unlocated site (Farley 1996). There is some debate, however, over whether this interpretation for the mound is indeed correct. Fieldwork carried out on and around the site has failed to confirm or refute the claims of a Norman castle. Work carried out during renovation on the mound failed to identify the bailey ditch, but other finds were identified including a deposit of horn cores close to the top of the mound (Farley 1996). A more recent watching brief carried out during the relaying of steps on the mound failed to identify any deposits pre-dating the Post-medieval period (Lowe 2004). Other interpretations for the mound include a Saxon barrow or a more recent formal garden feature associated with Castle Hill House. The current topography of the town began to develop in the 13th century and it is known that by this time High Street existed and was, as it is today, the main route through the town, with the market place situated at the west end of this street. The parish church was located close to the market place and was replaced by its current structure in 1273 (VCH 1925). Little is known about Wycombe in the subsequent centuries. There are few references to the town and it is assumed that, like its neighbour West Wycombe, the town suffered at the hands of the Black Death although no records verify this. In the early stages of the 17th century a new Guildhall was constructed which improved the look of the town. The previous Guildhall was still standing at this time as there is reference to it being rented out at a later date (VCH 1925). During the Civil War the town was utilized by Parliamentary troops and was in 1643 the location of small battle. Various alterations were carried out around the town in the 17th-18th centuries with the present Guildhall being constructed in In 1799 the Royal Military College was established at High Wycombe but was moved to Sandhurst in 1812 (VCH 1925) A range of Ordnance Survey and other historical maps of the area were consulted at Buckinghamshire Record Office in order to ascertain what activity had been taking place throughout the site s later history and whether this may have affected any possible archaeological deposits within the proposal area (see Appendix 2). 6

9 The earliest map available of the area is Saxton s map of Buckinghamshire, 1574 (Fig. 2). According to this map by the late 16th century High Wycombe (Highe Wickham) is a well established settlement located on the north side of a river, clearly a tributary of the Thames. No details for the site can be discerned for this map. Blaeu s map of Buckinghamshire, 1645 and Speed s map of Buckinghamshire, 1666 provide no further detail for the site or indeed the town. By 1770, according to Jefferys map of Buckinghamshire (Fig. 3), High Wycombe has developed into a linear settlement with buildings lining the main route through the town (High Street). Amersham Hill, which is thought to be the route of an ancient trackway is noticeable on this map as a straight road heading into the settlement from the north east. The end of this road actually becomes Crendon Street, which is located east of the site. It would appear at this time that Castle Street does not exist, as what would be Crendon Street carries on directly to High Street. The area around Castle Street appears to be undeveloped at this time. Bryant s map of Buckinghamshire, 1825 (Fig. 4) illustrates the town as having a similar layout to the previous map. Castle Hill is both illustrated and named on this map, as is All Saint s Church, which is situated at the western end of Castle Street. As before, Amersham Hill can be seen joining to High Street, however, in this instance a new road branches out from Amersham Hill to the west joining with the road junction close to All Saint s Church. This new road is clearly Castle Street, however it is largely undeveloped at this time. The earliest Ordnance Survey map (Fig. 5) consulted is from 1875 and is at the 6 scale. Despite the small scale it does highlight High Wycombe as a well established town, expanding in all directions. Castle Street, although not named is clearly established by this time, with buildings set back slightly from the northern half of the street. The area around the site can be more easily defined on this map and is located within garden plots associated with properties on High Street. The 1945 Edition Ordnance Survey, 1945 (Fig 6) shows the site in much more detail, but remarkably little has changed. Castle Street is named on this map and buildings appear to be located on either side of the road, with those on the northern half, set back from the road. It is difficult to locate the site precisely as, as will be seen with subsequent maps, Castle Street appears to have been slightly realigned at some later date. If this is the case then the site appears to be located largely to the rear of the properties on Castle Street, in an area of formal gardens. It does, however, incorporate a small portion of the structures on Castle Street By the Ordnance Survey map of 1975 (Fig 7) the site and its surrounding area have changed considerably. The realignment of Castle Street is quite apparent on this map. The previous map shows a more curving street 7

10 however by 1975 this appears to have been largely straightened out. A wedge shape of buildings on the eastern corner of the south side of Castle Street, which appear on the 1945 edition, have now been removed. As a result the corner of Castle Street and Crendon Street has been smoothed out to form a curve. Another noticeable difference is the construction of Corporation Street, which did not previously exist. The site, at this time, appears much as it is today. The street frontage is occupied by buildings and the rear an open plot. The plan does illustrate a rectangular feature to the rear of the plot, presumably garages. The 1977 edition Ordnance Survey map provides no further details for the site. Listed buildings There are no listed buildings located on the site itself though there are several within close proximity. The only listed buildings on Castle Street are located at No. 3, a 19th-century house and No. 5, an 18th-century house. The development at Castle Street is located at the opposite end of Castle Street and therefore it is unlikely that this will have an adverse effect on the settings of these properties. Registered Parks and Gardens; Registered Battlefields There are no registered parks and gardens or registered battlefields within close proximity of the site. Historic Hedgerows There are no hedgerows, historic or otherwise, on the site. Aerial Photographs The site areas lies within an urban area which has been developed since before the advent of aerial photography. No photographic collections have therefore been consulted. Discussion In considering the archaeological potential of the study area, various factors must be taken into account, including previously recorded archaeological sites, previous land-use and disturbance and future land-use including the proposed development. 8

11 The site clearly lies within an area of historic interest. The survey of the SMR suggests that surrounding the site are both Roman and medieval deposits and work carried out on Castle Street itself has recorded medieval remains, albeit truncated, which may suggest that similar deposits could exist on the site at Castle Street. This plot is a relatively large portion of land within an urban setting and it would seem likely that some archaeological deposits, Roman, medieval or later, would be encountered. The cartographic sources indicate that the site has seen little development in its more recent history. The actual route of Castle Street did not appear to exist prior to the early 20th century and was originally further north. Since this time the majority of the plot has undergone little development. The portion of the site which fronts Castle Street has seen the bulk of the development which almost certainly will have impacted on any below ground remains that existed. The remainder of the plot appears to have remained undeveloped or used mainly as gardens or parking and therefore if archaeology were to be present it may survive intact in this area. It is worthy of note that the site visit revealed that the slope of the valley side is matched by the slope in the car park suggesting no truncation. The proposed development largely focuses on the street frontage but does extend into the rear. There is also provision in the layout for reducing the ground level to the rear of the plot for underground parking. This would have an adverse effect on any archaeology which may survive in this area. As a result further work may be required initially to establish whether archaeology survives on the site and to what depth. This is best achieved by a programme of trial trenching across the site which, for the area close to Castle Street, could only occur postdemolition. Any information gained from the programme of trenching could then be used to draw up a scheme to mitigate the impact of development on any below-ground archaeological deposits if necessary. A scheme for this evaluation will need to be drawn up and approved by the archaeological advisers to the Borough and implemented by a competent archaeological contractor, such as an organization registered with the Institute of Field Archaeologists.
