The objective of the assessment was to identify the nature and extent of the heritage resource both within the site and its immediate environs. There are five previously recorded heritage assets located within the proposed development site. These consist of Moulton Park and its boundary, the West Lodge of Moulton Park (later the site of Moulton Park House), two World War II military sites associated with Boughton Green Road, and an undated ring ditch (a possible prehistoric burial site), although the evidence for this is unclear and no trace of it is recorded on aerial photographs, historic mapping, or during the walkover survey. Because the site was converted from the park to a university campus at the end of the 20th century, any remains of the military sites, undated ring ditch, and West Lodge are likely to have been destroyed. However, the park’s boundary wall is still defined by the boundary of the university campus and despite later additions and upgrading, aspects of the boundary wall may date to the 19th century and earlier. During the walkover survey, a ha-ha was noted within the landscaping of the university campus which ran along the same alignment as the garden boundary of Moulton Park House, shown on historic mapping and aerial photographs. Therefore, this feature is likely to date to the late 19th century. An entrance lodge, probably also of 19th century date, and trees within the site were also noted during the walkover survey as surviving historical components of Moulton Park. Potential effects of the proposed development upon the settings of designated heritage assets within the study area have also been assessed. No adverse effect upon any of the Listed Buildings within the study area or the Scheduled Monument, the Church of St John the Baptist, to the north, will be expected as a result of the development. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology 1. University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment INTRODUCTION Outline 1.1 In January 2014 Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by The University of Northampton to carry out a Heritage Desk-Based Assessment of land at the Park Campus, Northampton (centred on NGR: SP 76333 64427; Fig. 1). The site is proposed for residential development. Location and landscape context 1.2 The proposed development site (henceforth called ‘the site’) is approximately 22.6ha in size and is located c.3.8km north of the centre of Northampton (Fig. 1). The site comprises a university campus including teaching buildings, administration buildings, residential buildings, shops, car parks, playing fields, roads and footpaths (Fig. 9). 1.3 The site is located at a height of c.130m AOD, although the southern border slopes downhill to a height of c.125m AOD. The village of Kingsthorpe is located west and south-west of the site, a nature reserve to the south, agricultural land and residential estates of Spinney Hill to the east, and Moulton Park Industrial Estate to the north-east. Further residential blocks of Northampton University Park Campus are located north of the site. Scope 1.4 The assessment focuses upon the heritage resource of the site itself, as well as a minimum 1km ‘buffer’ around the site boundary, referred to as the ‘study area’ (Fig. 2). 1.5 The main objectives of the desk-based assessment are: • to identify designated archaeological assets within the site and the study area; • to gather information on non-designated recorded archaeological assets; • where sufficient information allows, to assess the significance of the buried archaeology present;. • where possible, to assess the impact of the proposed development on the significance of the buried archaeology present; and • assess the impact of the proposed development on designated heritage assets within the study area. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Summary of development proposals 1.6 The proposed development is a conversion from a university campus to residential buildings. 2. METHODOLOGY Desk-based assessment 2.1 The methodology is based on the guidance provided in the Institute for Archaeologists ‘Standards and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment’ (2012). 2.2 This desk-based assessment has considered a minimum 1km buffer study area centred on the site (Fig. 2). The size of the study area ensured that data sources provided sufficient information about the site and its surrounding landscape from which to assess known and potential impacts on the archaeological resource. 2.3 Known heritage assets within the study area are reported in Section 4. A gazetteer of known heritage assets in the study area has been compiled (Appendix A). All assets are referred to in the text by a unique reference number (1), etc... The locations of these assets can be seen on Fig. 2. 2.4 The desk-based assessment involved consultation of readily available archaeological and historical information from documentary and cartographic sources. The major repositories of information consulted comprised: English Heritage National Heritage List • World Heritage Sites • Scheduled Monuments • Listed buildings • Registered Parks and Gardens • Registered Battlefields Northamptonshire Historic Environment Record (OHER) • Database of known archaeological sites, findspots, historic buildings and previous archaeological works; and • Published and unpublished documentary sources (including development control site reports). 4 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Northamptonshire Record Office • Historic maps and documentary sources English Heritage Archives • AMIE (Archives and Monuments Information, England) data including known archaeological sites, findspots and previous archaeological works; and • Aerial photography collections. Online sources • Including the British Geological Survey (BGS) Geology of Britain Viewer and Local Plan information. 2.5 A site visit was undertaken on 29th January 2014 to identify any visible potential archaeological assets not recorded by the desk-based sources and to more fully understand the potential constraints, if any, to the proposed development. Heritage asset significance 2.6 As described below, the significance of a heritage asset is defined in NPPF as the value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. The assessment of significance within this report has been undertaken in accordance with the policies and guidance contained in Conservation Principles (EH 2008). The significance of a heritage asset (termed ‘place’ within Conservation Principles) is defined with reference to four areas of value: • Evidential value, derived from “the potential of a place to yield evidence about past human activity” (English Heritage 2008, 28) and primarily associated with physical remains or historic fabric; • Historical value, derived from “the ways in which past people, events and aspects of life can be connected through a place to the present” (ibid 28). This can derive from particular aspects of past ways of life. Illustrative historical value provides a direct (often visual) link between past and present people, while associative historical value provides an association with notable families, persons, events or movements. • Aesthetic value, derived from sensory and intellectual stimulation and including design value, i.e. “aesthetic qualities generated by the conscious design of a building, structure or landscape as a whole” (ibid 30). It may include its physical form, and how it lies within its setting. It may be the result of design, or an unplanned outcome of a process of events; and 5 © Cotswold Archaeology • University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Communal value, derived from “the meanings of a place for the people who relate to it”. Communal value derives from the meanings that an historic asset has for the people who relate to it, or for whom it’s in their collective experience or memory. It may be commemorative or symbolic, such as meaning for identity or collective memory (ibid 31). 2.7 The significance of a heritage asset is typically derived from a combination of some or all of these values, and the setting of a heritage asset can contribute to, or detract from, any of these four values (EH 2011, 32). Within the settings assessment below (Section 5), the contribution setting makes to the significance of the asset is specifically discussed in terms of how it contributes to, or assists in the ability to appreciate, these four forms of value. The Setting of Heritage Assets 2.8 The English Heritage document The Setting of Heritage Assets (2011) provides guidance on setting and development management, including assessing the implications of development proposals. A five-step approach is recommended for the latter, of which this report contains steps 1, 2 and 3. The first step of which is to identify the heritage assets affected and their settings. Step 2 is to assess whether, how and to what degree these settings make a positive contribution to the significance of the heritage asset(s), i.e. ‘what matters and why’. This includes a consideration of the key attributes of the heritage asset itself, then considers: • the physical surroundings of the asset, including its relationship with other heritage assets; 2.9 • the way the asset is appreciated; and • the asset’s associations and patterns of use. The third step (where appropriate) is to assess the effect of the proposed development on the significance of assets through the consideration of the key attributes of the proposed development in terms of its: 2.10 • location and siting; • form and appearance; • additional effects; and • permanence. The fourth step is to maximise enhancement and minimise harm, which may be achieved through: • removing or re-modelling an intrusive building or features; • replacement of a detrimental feature by a new and more harmonious one; 6 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment • restoring or revealing lost historic features; • introducing a wholly new feature that adds to the public appreciation of the asset; • introducing new views (including glimpses or better framed views) that add to the public experience of the asset; or • improving public access to, or interpretation of, the asset including its setting. 2.11 Step five is making and documenting the decision and monitoring outcomes. 3. PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT Legislative framework, national planning policy and relevant sector guidance 3.1 The assessment is written within the following legislative, planning policy and guidance context: • National Heritage Act 1983 (amended 2002); • Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act (1990); • National Planning Policy Framework (2012); • English Heritage Conservation Principles: policies and guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment (2008); • Planning Practice Guidance: Conserving and enhancing the historic environment (2014); • The Setting of Heritage Assets: English Heritage Guidance (2011). National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)(2012) 3.2 The NPPF sets out national planning policy relating to the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment. It defines the historic environment as ‘all aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora.’ 3.3 Individual aspects of the historic environment are considered heritage assets: ‘buildings, monuments, sites, places, areas or landscapes identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of their heritage interest.’ 7 © Cotswold Archaeology 3.4 University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Heritage assets include designated sites and non-designated sites, and policies within the NPPF relate to both the treatment of assets themselves and of their settings, both of which are a material consideration in development decision making. 3.5 Key tenets of the NPPF are that: • when considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. The more important the asset, the greater the weight should be; • significance can be harmed or lost through alteration or destruction of the heritage asset or development within its setting. As heritage assets are irreplaceable, any harm or loss should require clear and convincing justification. Substantial harm to or loss of a grade II listed building, park or garden should be exceptional. Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, grade I and II* listed buildings, grade I and II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional; • where a proposed development will lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal; and • with regard to non-designated heritage assets a balanced judgement will be required having due regard to the scale of any harm or loss and to the significance of the heritage asset affected. 3.6 Local planning authorities are urged to request applicants to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected by a proposed development, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail required in the assessment should be ‘proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance.’ Local planning policy 3.7 The local planning policy is outlines in the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy Pre-Submission (February 2011). Modifications have been made to this document prior to its submission to the Secretary of State for examination in 2013. The relevant (modified) saved policies relating to the historic environment are: 8 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Policy BN5 – The Historic Environment and Landscape ‘Designated and Non-Designated heritage assets and their settings and landscapes will be conserved and enhanced in recognition of their individual and cumulative significance and contribution to West Northamptonshire’s local distinctiveness and sense of place. In environments where valued heritage assets are at risk, the asset and its setting will be appropriately conserved and managed. In order to secure and enhance the significance of the area’s heritage assets and their settings and landscapes, development in areas of landscape sensitivity and/or known historic or heritage significance will be required to: - Sustain and enhance the heritage and landscape features which contribute to the character of the area including: o Conservation Areas; o Significant historic landscapes including historic parkland, battlefields and ridge and furrow; - o The skyline and landscape setting of towns and villages; o Sites of known or potential heritage or historic significance; o Locally and nationally important buildings, structures; Demonstrate and appreciation and understanding of development on surrounding heritage assets and their setting; and - Be sympathetic to locally distinctive landscape features, design styles and materials in order to contribute to a sense of place. The retention and sensitive re-use of disused or underused historic assets and structures is encouraged in order to retain and reflect the distinctiveness of the environment, contribute to the sense of place and promote the sustainable and prudent use of natural resources; Proposals to sustain and enhance the area’s understanding of heritage assets, for tourism and historic interest as part of cultural, leisure and green networks will be supported.’ 9 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment 4. OVERVIEW OF THE HERITAGE RESOURCE 4.1 This section provides an overview of the historical and archaeological background of the study area and the region surrounding it in order to provide a better understanding of the context and significance of the heritage resource that may be affected by development. This assessment also determines the significance of any affected archaeological sites (Section 6) and assesses the potential for encountering buried archaeological remains within the site and to predict their likely nature, date, extent and condition. Designated heritage assets 4.2 No World Heritage Sites or sites included on the Tentative List of Future Nominations for World Heritage Sites (Jan 2012) are situated within the site or its vicinity. 4.3 There are no Scheduled Monuments within the site. There is one Scheduled Monument, the Church of St John the Baptist, Boughton Green (Fig. 2, 1) located within the study area, c.1km north of the site. 4.4 There are no Registered Parks and Gardens, or Registered Battlefields within the site or study area. 4.5 There are no Listed Buildings within the site. There are two Grade II Listed Buildings within the study area comprising The Obelisk (Fig. 2, 2) located c.960m north-west of the site, and The Windmill House (Fig. 2, 3), located c.510m south-west of the site. Non-designated heritage assets 4.6 There are five previously recorded non-designated heritage assets located within the proposed development site. These consist of Moulton Park and its boundary (Fig.2, 22), the West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24) of Moulton Park (later the site of Moulton Park House), two World War II military sites associated within Boughton Green Road (Fig. 2, 44-45), and an undated ring ditch (possibly representing the location of a prehistoric barrow (burial mound)) (Fig. 2, 48). The evidence for the ring ditch is unclear and no trace of it is recorded on aerial photographs, historic mapping, or observed during the walkover survey. Because the site was converted from the park to a university campus in the late 20th century, any remains of the military sites, the undated ring ditch, and West Lodge are likely to have been disturbed. 10 © Cotswold Archaeology 4.7 University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment The western boundary of Moulton Park (Fig. 2, 22) is marked by the stone boundary wall of the university campus, aspects of which are believed to date to the 19th century and earlier. Although much of the wall has been updated and improved, this feature is an important component of the site’s heritage as it continues to define the medieval boundary of Moulton Park. Along this boundary wall, the entrance lodge of Moulton Park is situated and was identified on 19th century historic mapping, 20th century aerial photographs as well as during the walkover survey (Fig. 3-6 and 8). 4.8 A Ha-Ha feature was identified during the walkover survey (Fig. 7) and was noted on the same alignment as the house’s garden boundary, seen on historic mapping and aerial photographs (Fig. 4-6). It is likely, therefore, that this landscape feature dates to the 19th century. 4.9 Other surviving features of the historic landscape, within the site, consist of mature trees surviving from Moulton Park. These trees are shown on historic mapping and aerial photography (Fig. 3-6) and defined boundaries within the park. Geology, topography and the palaeoenvironment 4.10 The solid geology of the site is mapped as limestone of the Bilsworth Limestone Formation (BGS Online Viewer, consulted February 2014). The entire site, apart from the southern border contains Diamicton superficial deposits of the Oadley Member. No deposits of potential palaeoenvironmental interest are recorded within the site. Palaeolithic (pre. c. 10,000 BC) and Mesolithic (c. 10,000 BC – c. 4,000 BC) 4.11 There are no Palaeolithic heritage assets recorded within the site or study area. The Palaeolithic was a period of dramatic climate changes from ice ages to episodes of warmth and therefore, Britain was intermittently inhabited during this time (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). Palaeolithic evidence in Northamptonshire is rare and consists of flint artefacts, most of which have been found in the gravels carried along and deposited by the River Nene (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). 4.12 There are no Mesolithic heritage assets recorded within the site or study area. The Mesolithic period saw the isolation of Britain from mainland Europe as the seas rose following the end of the last Ice Age. Evidence for the Mesolithic in Northamptonshire consists mostly of flint artefacts. However, unlike the Palaeolithic, these tools present a more varied range of technologies (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). 11 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Neolithic (c. 4000 BC – c. 2400 BC) and Bronze Age (c. 2400 BC – 700 BC) 4.13 There are no Neolithic heritage assets recorded within the site. There is one Neolithic heritage asset recorded within the study area, an unstratified Neolithic find (Fig. 2, 4). Flint tools continue to be used in Northamptonshire in the Neolithic period, although the finds present more complex stone tool technologies than the previous periods (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). It is in the Neolithic period that pottery is introduced to the material culture and Northamptonshire also produces evidence for Neolithic funerary monuments and occupation sites, indicating a move away from the unsettled hunter-gatherer lifestyle (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). 4.14 There are no Bronze Age heritage assets recorded within the site. There are two Bronze Age heritage assets recorded within the study area, two possible Bronze Age burial areas, including barrows and ring ditches identified on aerial photographs (Fig. 2, 5 and 6). Evidence for the Bronze Age in Northamptonshire consists of a varied material culture, with the introduction of bronze and gold, although flint continued to be in use through this period, as well as well-made, highly decorated pottery. The large funerary monuments of the previous period are discontinued and instead round barrows indicate burial sites. Occupation sites, however, are rare in the archaeological record of Northamptonshire (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). Iron Age (c. 700 BC – AD 43) 4.15 There are no heritage assets, dating to the Iron Age, recorded within the site. There are three Iron Age heritage assets recorded within the study area. These consist of a late Iron Age/early Romano-British settlement which was excavated in 1971-2 (Brown 1979; Fig. 2, 7), a possible Iron Age, Romano-British and Saxon settlement identified through aerial photography and findspots (Fig. 2, 8), and further Iron Age findspots discovered through fieldwalking (Fig. 2, 9). 4.16 The Iron Age period saw the ordering of the Northamptonshire landscape with an expansion of farming and the population. Centralised sites were created which developed into hillforts, of which the county has at least six examples (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). The Iron Age also saw the emergence of other settlement forms, such as open settlements or individual farmsteads, some of which have produced evidence for a high degree of land division and organisation (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). 12 © Cotswold Archaeology 4.17 University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment There are no heritage assets dating to the prehistoric period in general recorded within the site. There are four heritage assets recorded within the study area which date to the prehistoric period in general. These consist of evidence for prehistoric activity, in the form of enclosures and barrows identified on aerial photographs (Fig. 2, 10), prehistoric burial activity (Fig. 2, 11), the Jurassic Way, a prehistoric routeway to Lincolnshire located c.510m west of the site (Fig. 2, 12), and a barbed and tanged flint arrowhead findspot (Fig. 2, 13). Roman period (AD 43 – AD 410) 4.18 There are no Roman heritage assets recorded within the site. There are six Roman heritage assets recorded within the study area. These consist of a late Iron Age/early Romano-British settlement which was excavated in 1971-2 (Brown 1979; Fig. 2, 7), a possible Iron Age, Romano-British and Saxon settlement identified through aerial photography and findspots from fieldwalking (Fig. 2, 8), Roman findspots (Fig. 2, 9, 14 and 15), and the London to Derby road, which may have been used as a Roman road (Fig. 2, 16). 4.19 The introduction of roads and towns to Northamptonshire in the Roman period would have been a marked change from the previous period as well as imposing features (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). The county does not possess large, major towns but does contain three defended by walls; Towcester, Irchester and Bannaventa (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). In the countryside, Roman villas can be found in Northamptonshire, especially along the line of the River Nene. Market economy and industry also developed in Northamptonshire (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). Early Medieval (AD 410 – 1066) period 4.20 There are no heritage assets, dating to the early medieval period, recorded within the site. There are six heritage assets within study area which date to the early medieval period. These include the Scheduled Church of St John the Baptist located c.1km north of the site (Fig. 2, 1), a possible Iron Age, Romano-British and Saxon settlement identified through aerial photography and findspots from fieldwalking (Fig. 2, 8), Saxon Age findspots (Fig. 2, 9), the London to Derby road believed to have been used in the early medieval period (Fig. 2, 16), Boughton Green deserted settlement (Fig. 2, 17), and Commercial Street road, also believed to have been used in the early medieval period (Fig. 2, 18). 4.21 The early medieval period was a time of great change in Northamptonshire, as well as Britain as a whole. The material culture shows a dramatic change in settlement 13 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment form, burial sites, styles in pottery, which have been closely linked with other northern European societies, and industry reverts back to local production (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). Early medieval burial sites in Northamptonshire, unlike other counties, have produced evidence of more diverse mortuary rites and stylistic elements suggesting the county contained mixed populations which were on the edge of other more core areas (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). 4.22 The introduction of Christianity led to the development of settlements around churches and minsters. Northampton became an administrative centre in the 8th century around the area of St Peter’s church, and also stood at the centre of a prosperous road network. After the Viking invasion in the 9th century, Northamptonshire lay on the border between English and Danish control and Northampton itself became the headquarters of the Danish army in 910AD (Northamptonshire County Council 2007). Medieval (1066 – 1539) period 4.23 There are two medieval heritage assets recorded within the site: Moulton Park (Fig. 2, 22) and the West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24). Moulton Park is recorded over the majority of the site. At the time of the Domesday Survey of 1086, Moulton was recorded as two small estates (Salzman 1970). They were turned into a park, attached to the Castle of Northampton. In the 13th century, the park was used specifically to hold animals for the royal household in winter. 4.24 The West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24), also recorded within the site, as well as the East Lodge of the park (Fig. 2, 25), located to the east of the site, are recorded as being in existence by 1397, but were pulled down in 1861. Keeper’s Lodge, identified in two possible locations (Fig. 2, 20 and 21) was believed to have been a predecessor to the East Lodge of Moulton Park. Unstratified medieval and post-medieval finds have been discovered within the recorded park area (Fig. 2, 23). 4.25 The remaining medieval heritage assets within the study area consist of the Scheduled Church of St John the Baptist (Fig. 2, 1), medieval findspots (Fig. 2, 9, 29), the London to Derby Road (Fig. 2, 16), Boughton Green deserted settlement (Fig. 2, 17), Commercial Street road (Fig. 2, 18), evidence of medieval activity (Fig. 2, 19, 26), medieval buildings identified in quarried area (Fig. 2, 27), medieval quarry (Fig. 2, 28), a turf maze (Fig. 2, 30), Kingsthorpe settlement (Fig. 2, 31), and Kingsthorpe windmill (Fig. 2, 32). 14 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment Post-medieval (1540 – 1800) and Modern (1801-present) 4.26 There are two post-medieval heritage assets recorded within the site. These consist of Moulton Park (Fig. 2, 22), which is recorded over the majority of the site, and the West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24) believed to have been in existence until 1861. The Victoria County History of Northamptonshire (Salzman 1970) records that by the 16th century the park was in bad condition due to poor repair. The park was passed from keeper to keeper to hold for the king until the 17th century when it was bought and held privately until the 19th century. Moulton Park is recorded within the Victoria County History of Northamptonshire as an extra-parochial area, except between 1851 and 1861, when it was a parish (Salzman 1970). In 1877 it became the property of the governors of St Andrews Mental Hospital (Salzman 1970). 4.27 The West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24), in existence until 1861, is recorded at the same location as Moulton Park House, shown on historic mapping of 1885 (Fig. 3), and therefore was probably superseded by the house. There is no trace of the house or lodge remaining within the site as the area has been converted into a university campus. However, during the walkover survey, a ha-ha was noted on the same alignment as the house’s garden boundary, seen on historic mapping and aerial photographs (Fig. 3-7). A ha-ha was a landscaping feature, comprising a retaining wall within a ditch, used to prevent lifestock entering a garden whilst preserving the long range views across the landscape. Therefore, the presence of this ha-ha within the campus indicates that Moulton Park House had key views eastwards from the house across the parkland. The western boundary wall of the university campus also follows the line of the boundary wall of the park and aspects of it may date to the same period. 4.28 There are 17 other heritage assets recorded within the study area which date to the post-medieval period. These include the Scheduled Church of St John the Baptist (Fig. 2, 1) located c.1km north of the site, the Grade II Listed Obelisk (Fig. 2, 2), located c.950m north-west of the site, post-medieval findspots (Fig. 2, 9, 23, 29), post-medieval roads (Fig. 2, 16 and 18), East Lodge in Moulton Park (Fig. 2, 25), post-medieval activity c.450m south of the site (Fig. 2, 26), quarrying and industrial activity (Fig. 2, 27, 28, 33-35), a turf maze (Fig. 2, 30), Kingsthorpe (Fig. 2, 31), and Kingsthorpe windmill (Fig. 2, 32). 4.29 There are two modern heritage assets recorded within the site, a modern military site (Fig. 2, 44) which included defensive structures and a World War II anti-tank roadblock (Fig. 2, 45). These features were concentrated towards Boughton Green Road. 15 © Cotswold Archaeology 4.30 University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment There are 15 other modern heritage assets recorded within the study area including the Grade II Listed The Windmill House (Fig. 2, 3) and its windmill (Fig. 2, 32), a turf maze (Fig. 2, 30), Kingsthorpe (Fig. 2, 31), industrial activity (Fig. 2, 34-35), a World War II factory (Fig. 2, 36), White Hills cemetery (Fig. 2, 37), allotments and gardens (Fig. 2, 38-41 and 46) and other military sites (Fig. 2, 42 and 43). Recorded land-use within the site and its vicinity 4.31 The Northamptonshire Record Office does not hold any mapping of Moulton Park which predates 1885. A small part of the site on its southern border however was included in the 1767 enclosure map of Kingsthorpe parish and states that these southern fields belonged to Thomas Powys ‘for his birth rent’. There are no features shown within the fields although a pond or building feature is outlined on it northern border, possible indicating Moulton Park House. The rest of the map to the north is labelled ‘Moulton Park’. 4.32 The First Edition Ordnance Survey (OS) map of 1885 depicts the parkland containing ‘Moulton Park House (Lunatic Asylum)’, situated at the same location as the West Lodge (Fig. 2, 24; Fig. 3). It is surrounded by parkland containing trees and the entrance road leads to the house from Boughton Green Road. At the entrance to the Park on this road, a building is depicted. A building is still located here and was identified during the walkover survey (Fig. 8). The gardens to the main house are located to its east. Also identified during the walkover survey was a ha-ha, which appears to fit along the alignment of the boundary of this garden and has since been incorporated into the landscaping of the university campus (Fig. 7). Therefore, the ha-ha is likely to be of same date, late 19th century, as the Moulton Park House. 4.33 The Second Edition OS map of 1900 also depicts the lunatic asylum and its grounds (Fig. 4). In the parkland west of the house and south of the entrance road, an earthwork is clearly depicted. No other earthworks of this kind are shown in the park on the map. The remainder of the site is unchanged since the First Edition OS map. The Third Edition OS map of 1926 continues to depict the ‘Moulton Park House Mental Hospital’ situated within the parkland. The lodge is labelled by the entrance to the park from Boughton Green Road and a chapel is also depicted north of the house. The earthwork identified on the Second Edition OS map is also depicted in 1926. The rest of the site is still shown as parkland containing trees and footpaths. 4.34 Aerial photographs of 1944 depict the site as Moulton Park House and its immediate parklands. The house, entrance road, entrance lodge and chapel can clearly be identified as well as a road running north-east from the house to the site border. An 16 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment area of previous activity can also be depicted in the location of the earthwork, identified on historic mapping. This possibly indicates quarrying activity. By 1945, this area had grown over. 4.35 Aerial photographs of 1947 depict the site as unchanged apart from the quarrying area which appears to have been reopened. The aerial photograph of 1953 shows the parkland west of the house and south of the road as having been cleared of trees and the quarry area expanded (Fig. 2; Fig. 5). Further areas of quarrying activity can also be depicted in the northern part of the site along with two buildings (Fig. 2; Fig. 5). By 1954, these areas had overgrown. The buildings in the northern part of the site are still shown on aerial photographs of 1956 (Fig. 6). The photographs also show some activity near the road running north-east from the house. The Moulton Park House, gardens, chapel, entrance lodge and track, and immediate parklands within the site are still depicted on aerial photographs of 1963. 4.36 The next available aerial photographs date to 2001 which depict the site as the university campus. Moulton Park House has been replaced by the main university building but the outline of the garden can still be identified. The northern, southern and western borders of the park, which consisted of trees, have been maintained for the borders of the university campus. A north-south line of trees which previously divided the parkland, has also been maintained as part of the campus’ landscape. A small number of isolated trees have been preserved from the parkland and are situated within the playing fields in the north-western area of the campus. The university buildings are all modern and only the entrance lodge remains as a building associated with the park. Ordnance Survey mapping indicates that the site had been converted from the Moulton Park House and parkland into a college by 1972 (www.old-maps.co.uk – accessed 04/02/14). Despite the majority of the parkland having been removed for the university campus, some survived, in the form of trees, borders and divisions, and have informed the landscaping of the university campus. 4.37 Undated heritage assets There is one heritage asset of unknown date recorded within the site consisting of a rig ditch (possibly representing the remains of a prehistoric round barrow (burial mound)) (Fig. 2, 48), although no trace of the feature could be identified on historic mapping, aerial photographs or during the walkover survey. 4.38 There are three other heritage assets within the study area which are of unknown date consisting of metal findspots discovered through metal detecting (Fig. 2, 9 and 17 © Cotswold Archaeology University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment 29) and cropmarks of pit alignments (Fig. 2, 47) identified on aerial photographs, c.970m north-west of the site. 4.39 Trees and Hedgerows A number of trees have been identified within the site which formed part of the landscaping within Moulton Park. These trees are therefore considered to be important surviving components of the site’s heritage. A number of trees within the site are included within the Tree Preservation Order (TPO). These are documented within the arboriculture report and are also considered in the Ecological Survey and Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment. 4.40 Hedgerows are located with fences or walls along the borders of the site and also form part of the university campus landscaping within the site. None of these hedgerows are considered to have statutory protection under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 (criteria for archaeology and history) as they do not meet the necessary criteria (reproduced in Appendix B). 5. SETTINGS ASSESSMENT 5.1 This section of the report is used to assess potential effects of the proposed development upon the significance of selected designated heritage assets within the study area, through the alteration of their setting. The assessment has been undertaken in accordance with the guidance contained in the Setting of Heritage Assets (English Heritage 2011). 5.2 The Scheduled Church of St John the Baptist (Fig. 2, 1) is located c.1km north of the site. This Scheduled Monument has been scoped out of the setting assessment at Step 1 (as per the English Heritage guidelines) as the site does not form part of its setting which contributes positively to its significance for the following reasons: • The immediate surroundings of the church comprise the area recorded as Boughton Green deserted settlement (Fig. 2, 17). This will not be impacted by the site; • There are no key views from the Scheduled Monument towards the site and no visibility between the Scheduled Monument and site due to the large distance between them and the development in Moulton Park; 18 © Cotswold Archaeology • University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment The site does not impact upon the experience of the Scheduled Monument, which is best appreciated from within the scheduled area. The proposed development will not detract or impact upon any historical associative attributes the settlement site has with other heritage sites, for example the deserted Boughton Green settlement. 5.3 There are two Listed Buildings within 1km of the site, The Obelisk (Fig. 2, 2) and The Windmill House (Fig. 2, 3). These Listed buildings have both been scoped out of the setting assessment at Step 1 (as per the English Heritage guidelines) as the site does not form a part of their setting which contributes positively to their significance for the following reasons: • There are no key views from the Listed Buildings towards the site and no visibility between the assets and site due to the later urban development in Kingsthorpe; and • The site does not impact upon the experience of the Listed Buildings, and does not detract or impact upon the monuments prominence in the landscape or any historical associative attributes the buildings have with other designated heritage sites. 6. CONCLUSIONS 6.1 There are five previously recorded heritage assets located within the proposed development site. These consist of Moulton Park and its boundary, the West Lodge of Moulton Park (later the site of Moulton Park House), two World War II military sites associated within Boughton Green Road, and an undated ring ditch (possibly representing the remains of a prehistoric barrow (burial mound)), although the evidence for this is unclear and no trace of it is recorded on aerial photographs, historic mapping, or observed during the walkover survey. Because the site was converted from the park to a university campus in the late 20th century, any remains of the military sites, the undated ring ditch, and West Lodge are likely to have been disturbed. However, the park’s boundary wall is still defined by the boundary of the university campus and despite later additions and upgrading, aspects of the boundary wall may date to the 19th century and earlier. 19 © Cotswold Archaeology 6.2 University of Northampton – Park Campus, Northamptonshire: Heritage Desk-Based Assessment During the walkover survey, a ha-ha was noted within the landscaping of the university campus which runs along the alignment of the garden boundary of Moulton Park House, shown on historic mapping and aerial photographs. Therefore, it is likely this feature dates to the late 19th century. An entrance lodge, probably also of 19th century date, and trees within the site were also noted during the walkover survey as surviving historical aspects of Moulton Park. 6.3 Previous impacts upon any potential buried archaeological remains within the site derive from the construction of the university campus over Moulton Park. It is likely any excavation or re-landscaping activity from this development would have impacted upon any buried archaeology. Other previous impacts, prior to this, may have been quarrying activity, noted on aerial photographs within the park, which will also have impacted upon any archaeology within those areas. 6.4 Potential effects of the proposed development upon the settings of designated heritage assets within the study area have also been assessed. No adverse effect upon any of the Listed Buildings within the study area or the Scheduled Monument, the Church of St John the Baptist, to the north, will be expected as a result of the development. 20 © Cotswold Archaeology 7.
