The Medieval Coroner, by R. F. Hunnisett, published 1961 (Cambridge University Press) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 3029] & West Sussex Libraries

The Author is known to our Society from his Articles on the subject of Coroners in our Collections and his contributions to Sussex Notes and Queries. This is a very thorough and carefully prepared work embracing every aspect of the Coroner's activities and, though suited rather to the initiated yet can be read with pleasure and profit by anyone with only a rudimentary acquaintance with the subject. As the name implies it deals with the Office of Coroner from its inception in 1194 down to the beginning of the Tudor regime - after which the "decline and fall" set in, though it seems that the Coroner may still have to empanel a jury if the Sheriff is personally concerned. It might be useful in a future edition to give a specimen Writ de coronatore eligendo with alternative forms as to the vacancy. The Glossary gives the impression that it is a stock form for the Series and might be made more applicable to the particular Work.

Medieval Clearances in the East Sussex Weald, by P. F. Brandon, published December 1969 in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers (vol. 48, article, pp.135-153, ISSN: 00202754)   View Online

An attempt is made to define the extent and establish the chronology of the medieval clearances of woodland within a fragment of the Sussex Weald in relation to edaphic and other factors. The amount of clearing at different stages is first examined. The location of the cleared land is then delineated as accurately as the documentary evidence allows and an estimate is made of the extent of residual woodlands and waste c. 1500. Three case studies have been made of particularly well-documented areas as samples of the evolving agrarian landscape. In these case-studies, the value of post-medieval documents in throwing light on earlier developments is demonstrated.

Late-Medieval Weather in Sussex and Its Agricultural Significance, by P. F. Brandon, published November 1971 in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers (vol. 54, article, pp.1-17, ISSN: 00202754)   View Online

The references to weather afforded by the compotus rolls of the manors of the Abbey of Battle and other ecclesiastical and lay manors in coastal Sussex between 1340 and 1444 are summarized and the evidence of floods during the same period is considered. The departures of the weather régime from that experienced during this century appear to be small, but significant climatic fluctuations are identifiable. Particularly favourable and adverse seasons and runs of these are enumerated; their agricultural effects are examined in the light of the yield ratios of the principal cereals. The implications of the fluctuations in regions closer to the climatic margins for cereals, particularly in the case of the adverse periods in the early fifteenth century, are noted.

The Chairman's note in the last Bulletin raises a number of problems about the occurrence of late bloomeries in the Weald, over which the Group has made little progress. Compared with the satisfactory recording of Romano-British bloomeries, and the rather unexpected growth in the number of recorded sites for the blast-furnace period, progress for the medieval industry has been limited. There are several reasons why this should be so.

An Anglo Saxon and Mediaeval Settlement at Botolphs, Bramber, West Sussex, by Mark Gardiner, Caroline Cartwright and others, published 1990 in The Archaeological Journal (vol. 147, article, pp.216-275)   View Online

Three early Anglo-Saxon sunken-featured buildings dating to the late fifth or early sixth century were discovered during excavation. Finds suggest that stamp-decorated and grass-tempered pottery was made in the settlement. Burnt daub with a lime-washed surface was found, possibly from other, larger buildings. In the late tenth or early eleventh century the site was reoccupied. Traces of five timber buildings from this second phase of activity were recorded to the south of the parish church, which was built (or rebuilt) during this period. Other structures including a well and fence-line were excavated. During the later medieval period the area examined was probably part of the glebe of the parish of Botolphs. A ditch and rubbish pits of the later thirteenth and fourteenth centuries found here are to be associated with the nearby vicarage.

For many years I had thought that there must be information on water mills in the many manorial records in the record offices. I have extracted references to mills from the Sussex section of the Domesday Book translated by John Morris and published by Phillimore in 1976 which shows that there were many mills in Sussex in 1086.

The Rumenesea Wall and the early settled landscape of Romney Marsh (Kent), by J. R. L. Allen, published 1999 in Landscape History, the journal of the Society for Landscape Studies (vol. 21, issue 1, article, pp.5-18)   View Online

The Rumenesea Wall, a seabank of early medieval date, has been traced for almost 9 kilometres between Snargate and the coastal barrier at New Romney as a consistent rise in ground level toward the south-west averaging about 0.5 metres. It probably is rooted in the Wealden scarp at Appeldorn, but between there and Snargate is today subsumed within the structure of the younger Rhee Wall. The Rumenesea Wall lies north-east of the Rhee Wall and on the far side of the Rumenesea, a waterway recorded from early times with the characteristics, when it became fixed in the landscape, of a modest tidal inlet carrying some freshwater. Together with complementary earthworks identified in the north of Romney Marsh, and the coastal barrier, the Rumenesea Wall provided for the enclosure and defence against the sea of most of Romney Marsh proper. Its construction transformed the coastal wetlands, dividing the area into a north-eastern part, where permanent settlement was assured, from a south-western portion which largely remained for a long period under tidal influence and could not be exploited in this way without further embanking. After the Roman embanking of large parts of the Severn Estuary Levels, the Rumenesea Wall is perhaps the earliest seabank of any substantial length to be constructed on a British coastal lowland. The landscape changes its construction brought about illustrate a social and economic movement for which there is evidence on much of the north-west European littoral.

Adapting houses to changing needs: multi-phased medieval and transitional houses in East Sussex, by David Martin and Barbara Martin, published 1999 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 137, article, pp.121-132) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 14439] & The Keep [LIB/500291] & S.A.S. library   View Online

It is often asserted that the 150 years from 1380 witnessed an emerging nouveau riche class, able for the first time to construct houses incorporating a lofty open hall and substantial first-floor end-chambers, which were sufficiently well-built to survive to the present day. That this model is broadly correct there can be little doubt. But by implying that these houses were always constructed in one phase, wholly replacing their predecessors, we are in danger of over-simplifying the true picture. Research within eastern Sussex indicates that at least 29 per cent, and perhaps as many as 40 per cent of our surviving medieval and transitional housing stock are the result of piecemeal enlargement and reconstruction. The former figure is likely to rise as more examples are recognized for what they are.

End reversal during the conversion of medieval houses in Sussex, by David Martin, published 2000 in Vernacular Architecture (vol. 31, article, pp.26-31) accessible at: British Library   View Online

When in the post-medieval period chimneys and first floors were inserted into medieval open halls, the uses to which the rooms beyond the hall were put was reversed in a number of examples in southern England. In these, those rooms which had previously fulfilled a service function were now converted into a parlour, whilst the old parlour was down-graded to service use. Although there are occasional exceptions, the phenomenon usually occurs only in those houses where an axial chimney of three or more flues was to be inserted and one of the new fireplaces was intended to serve an end parlour. Obviously such a fundamental redesign of a building would not have been undertaken unless the modifications offered very real economic or functional advantages for the owner. This paper uses examples from East Sussex to explain why, in Sussex at least, such changes were carried out. It demonstrates that the changes were the result of a two-stage modernisation of medieval houses and reveals the need for caution in seeking a mechanism to explain such phenomena, for what at first seem the obvious reasons might, upon further research, prove to be only a small part of the story.

A medieval saltern mound at Millfields Caravan Park, Bramber, West Sussex, by Victoria Ridgeway, published 2000 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 138, article, pp.135-152) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 14509] & The Keep [LIB/500298] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Archaeological evaluation and excavation work in advance of redevelopment at the former Millfields Caravan Park, Bramber, West Sussex in 1997, revealed evidence of sporadic occupation dating from the medieval period to the present. The site was located adjacent to the strongly tidal, and originally estuarine, River Adur, approximately 6.4 kilometres inland from Shoreham-by-Sea.
Although residual prehistoric flintwork was recovered, the earliest excavated feature was a ditch of probable early medieval date which suggests attempts to drain the open marshland of the estuarine floodplain. Subsequently, washed silts and sands deriving from medieval salt manufacture were deposited, forming a saltern mound used intermittently from the 13th into the 16th century. The mound showed evidence of sporadic flooding until the mid-16th century, by which time the River Adur had been fully embanked and the land was used as pasture. A saw-pit was in operation by the early 19th century, possibly in connection with a wharf known from documentary sources.
This paper is primarily concerned with the evidence for salt manufacture. The saltern mound, buried beneath alluvium and previously undocumented, joins the many examples known to have been in operation in the valley during the late Saxon and medieval periods, but is the first to be extensively excavated and the first to produce evidence of buildings.

A rare opportunity to undertake excavations within the town revealed two grain-dryers, pits and a sequence of boundary and enclosure ditches spanning possibly the 10th to early 15th centuries. These are likely to have lain behind buildings on the High Street frontage and reflect Worthing's development as a nucleated village settlement from c. 1200. The finds include a locally-important assemblage of medieval pottery.

Excavations on a late medieval ironworking site at London Road, Crawley, West Sussex, 1997, by Nicholas Cooke, published 2001 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 139, article, pp.147-167) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 14916] & The Keep [LIB/500292] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavations by Wessex Archaeology in advance of redevelopment of land off London Road in Crawley revealed considerable evidence for late medieval ironworking on the northern edge of the town. This included substantial deposits of smelting and forging slag, several ironworking hearths and a sequence of associated clay floors. Sufficient evidence was recovered to suggest a variety of ironworking processes including ore roasting, smelting and forging/smithing took place either on, or in close proximity to, the site. Of particular interest were the remains of a structure, probably a smithy, in one of the properties on the London Road frontage. Archaeomagnetic dating indicates that the main period of ironworking was during the late 14th and early 15th centuries, a date broadly supported by the small quantity of pottery recovered. A series of regular field boundaries to the west of the street frontage appeared to represent a planned medieval field system, probably established in the 13th century. Post-medieval activity, not associated with ironworking, was represented by the remains of a 17th-century building and well, and three 19th-century buildings.

Church building fabrics on Romney Marsh and the Marshland Fringe: a geological perspective, by Andrew Pearson and John F. Potter, published 2002 in Landscape History, the journal of the Society for Landscape Studies (vol. 24, issue 1, article, pp.89-110)   View Online

Romney Marsh is a region where few historic buildings now remain in the modern landscape. This paper examines the only group of historic monuments on the marsh in which stone was the principal medium, and where it was employed on a major scale - the parish church.
A fieldwork programme determined the types of stone present in eighteen churches on Romney and Walland Marsh, and a further eighteen in the immediate upland hinterland. The objectives of the study were to establish the types and provenance of the principal stones used in church building in the region, and using these data to examine the pattern of historic quarrying and supply from the Anglo-Saxon period to later medieval times.
Building stone supply was shown to vary according to several factors, including the geographical location of each building site, the date of construction, and the relation to known or surmised communication routes. The study pointed to an increasingly sophisticated quarrying industry, relying initially mainly on opportunist collection of beach boulders up to the thirteenth century, before sources of hewn stone for ashlar began to be increasingly exploited. The coast was the major resource at all times, and it is tentatively suggested that the removal of foreshore stone contributed to long-shore drift, and thus indirectly to dramatic coastal changes in the region. Most material was of local origin, although rare, high quality imports were also utilised.

A prehistoric and later medieval agricultural landscape at Dean Way, Storrington, by Christine Howard-Davis and Bryan Matthews, published 2002 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 140, article, pp.7-19) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15109] & The Keep [LIB/500299] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavations at Dean Way, Storrington revealed a palimpsest agricultural landscape incorporating elements dating from at least the 1st millennium BC to the 20th century. Evidence of earlier activity, in the form of late Mesolithic microliths and a range of Neolithic flintwork, was found as largely residual material in later contexts. Analysis determined four phases of development on the site. Phase 1 was long-lived, and represents intermittent domestic and agricultural activity over an extended period, possibly from as early as the mid-late Neolithic to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. Phase 2, a rectilinear field system and again long-lived, was possibly late Iron Age in origin, but might have been considerably later. Phase 3, parallel field boundaries and tracks, appears to have been of later medieval date and onwards, and Phase 4, plough and topsoils, is relatively recent.

Two possible medieval bloomery sites in Alfold, Surrey, by Judie English, published 2002 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 22, article, pp.5-9, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506569]   Download PDF

Fieldwork at two high status medieval settlement sites in the Weald of Surrey has produced bloomery tap slag. At Great Wildwood Golf Course the slag was found close to a moated site and in a context insecurely dated to the late 12th or early 13th century. At Monktonhook the slag was found during field walking on a site known to have been occupied from at least 1325 until the mid-20th century.

Recent recognition of a building stone, now named Lavant stone, has led to investigations of the quarry site, its history and the use of the stone. Lavant stone is a distinctive phosphatic chalk with fossils, particularly sharks' teeth. It was used in the later Roman period and extensive medieval use ranged from Chichester Cathedral and Boxgrove Priory to parish churches. The historical use of Lavant stone is considered, and the social and economic influences upon its distribution pattern and opportunities for further research are discussed.

Rethinking the early medieval settlement of woodlands: evidence from the western Sussex Weald, by Diana Chatwin and Mark Gardiner, published 2005 in Landscape History, the journal of the Society for Landscape Studies (vol. 27, issue 1, article, pp.31-49)   View Online

The assumptions underlying the interpretation of the early medieval settlement of woodland are challenged through a detailed study of the Weald in western Sussex. The patterns of usage of woodland in England were very varied, and each area needs to be looked at individually. Systems of woodland exploitation did not simply develop from extensive to intensive, but may have taken a number of different forms during the early medieval period. In one area of the Weald, near to Horsham, the woodland appears to have been systematically divided up between different estates. This implies that woodland settlement may not always have developed organically, but this type of landscape could have been planned. It is argued that the historical complexity of woodland landscapes has not been recognised because the evidence has been aggregated. Instead, each strand of evidence needs to be evaluated separately.

Rescue excavations by Archaeology South-East (University College London Field Archaeology Unit) revealed evidence of parts of a Romano-British and medieval ditched field system, medieval smithing slag and traces of a possible building made of flint with a tiled roof. Roman activity falls within a broad date range between the mid- 1st and 4th centuries AD. Medieval pottery suggests a focus of activity in the late 13th-14th centuries, although some continuation into the early 15th century is also indicated. The presence of worked and burnt flint at the site, in addition to a solitary Middle to Late Bronze Age feature, suggests prehistoric activity in the vicinity. A single, poorly preserved Anglo-Saxon grave, carbon dated to cal. AD 680-890, with an east-west orientation, was also located.

Red-and-Black Painted Medieval Architecture: St Mary's Church, New Shoreham, Sussex, by Giles Standing and Catherine Hassall, published 2006 in The Archaeological Journal (vol. 163, article, pp.92-121)   View Online

Recent survey of the late twelfth- to early thirteenth-century chancel of St Mary's church, New Shoreham (Grade I listed) has revealed traces of two consecutive medieval paint schemes on the architecture, dating from c. 1210. No previous research or publication has taken account of these remains, which indicate the original interior appearance of this large and historic parish church. Samples of the paint have been scientifically analysed, revealing the pigments used and their stratigraphic relationship across the survey area; the identification of carbon black on architectural features is particularly important. Comparison with other ecclesiastical buildings in England and on the Continent indicates that St Mary's chancel is a key example of a widespread decorative scheme of red-and-black architectural polychromy, reinforcing its significance as an exemplar of early Gothic style in medieval England.

Prehistoric and medieval environment of Old Town, Eastbourne: studies of hillwash in the Bourne Valley, Star Brewery Site, by Michael J.

The prehistoric (Iron Age), Roman and medieval environment of the Bourne valley was examined via the study of dry-valley sediments, comprising a prehistoric lynchet overlooking the 'floodplain', and sediments on the Bourne 'floodplain' in Old Town. This research discovered an Iron Age site at the face of the lynchet, and investigated the area of the valley floor and the former Bourne Stream. Analytical investigations of magnetic susceptibility and archaeomagnetic dating were applied as novel techniques to examine their applicability to colluvial sediments and utilise any results they yielded. This research has provided a rare glimpse into the environment and land use of early Eastbourne and complements that from the downs and the results of the Eastbourne Urban Medieval Excavation Project (directed by Lawrence Stevens), under whose auspices this excavation was undertaken. This report, though long in gestation and fruition, is dedicated to Lawrence Stevens whose concept this excavation was, and who has, for so long, tirelessly championed the archaeology of Eastbourne.

Romano-British and medieval occupation at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, West Sussex, by David Godden, published 2008 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 146, article, pp.75-94) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15997] & The Keep [LIB/500364] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavation in a little-investigated part of Chichester's historic core revealed Romano-British and medieval features. There was no evidence to support the existence of a Romano-British forerunner of the road now known as North Pallant; indeed, only a north-south aligned ditch and the remains of two wells were identified suggesting relatively sparse activity in an area away from any street frontage. The principal phase of occupation dates from the second half of the first century AD, although quantities of later material (mostly residual) hint at occupation on or near the site. Near the western edge of the site, late-Saxon - early medieval pits (tenth-twelfth century) indicate renewed activity, perhaps to the rear of properties fronting a road then recently laid out. Later medieval cesspits and refuse pits occurred over the rest of the site, with indications of a gradual westwards shift in focus towards East Pallant. Associated food and artefactual remains are typical of urban medieval assemblages: the one notable find was an ornate thirteenth-century ceramic roof finial. Otherwise there was little to relate to the presumed high status of the only structure from the site, a fourteenth- to early-fifteenth-century vaulted undercroft, part of a building fronting onto North Pallant.

Michelham 'Find': History of 'medieval' figurine forgeries, by Leslie Weller, published August 2008 in Sussex Past & Present (no. 115, article, pp.5-5, ISSN: 1357-7417) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/500475] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Whilst carrying out a revaluation of the Collections of Michelham Priory I was looking for a 17th century Iron Strong Box in the meeting room, when I found on a window ledge a metal figurine which at first glance appeared to be medieval, but on closer inspection I realised that it was a "Shadwell Dock Forgery" (known as Billies and Charleys).

Origins of Meeching: Carol White researches Newhaven's medieval settlement, by Carol White, published August 2008 in Sussex Past & Present (no. 115, article, p.6, ISSN: 1357-7417) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/500475] & S.A.S. library   View Online

In 2006, I undertook a research project, the final module towards an undergraduate Diploma in Archaeology at the University of Sussex. My subject was the origins of Meeching, the medieval settlement that became Newhaven. Rescue excavations by Martin Bell, precipitated by the construction of a ring road around Newhaven town centre in the 1970s, revealed a second century AD Romano-British settlement as well as features filled with loess containing flint flakes dating to the Palaeolithic. These excavations were sited to the south of the town, between South Road and the River Ouse. Finds dating to the Bronze Age and Iron Age are documented at Castle Hill.

A substantial moated site was excavated by A. Barr Hamilton between the late 1950s and early 1980s. The remains uncovered within the moat indicated a multi-phased arrangement of buildings and other features including a substantial wooden revetment in the southern moat. The purpose of the various buildings is uncertain, but it is possible that they may have been used by the bishops of Chichester, who were also the Lords of the Manor, when visiting Stretham. The site was probably in use from the thirteenth century to the early/mid fifteenth century, when it appears to have been abandoned possibly as a result of flooding. Although the excavations were not to what may be considered modern standards the site is of sufficient importance to merit publication even in basic form.

In May and early June 2008 Brighton and Hove Archaeological Society (BHAS) returned to Hog Croft field at Ovingdean, East Sussex. BHAS Field Unit previously excavated here in 2002, 2003 and 2006, confirming a substantial medieval complex: 13th century manor house, barns and out-houses, a well and several large ditches. This project by Carol White, MA student at Sussex University, was to focus on an area of interest from the 2006 excavation, the location of a possible detached kitchen, discerned by finds of bone and large amounts of marine shell. Boundaries to south and east were defined by robbed out wall foundation ditches, revealing a large dressed stone block at the eastern terminus. The interior was littered with large flint nodules, mortar, roof and medieval floor tiles. The 2008 investigation aimed to confirm the kitchen location, and to examine the south west quadrant of the manor house.

Rye Rebuilt: Regeneration and Decline within a Sussex Port Town, 1350-1660, by David Martin and Barbara Martin, published 19 October 2009 (Domtom Publishing, ISBN-10: 1906070113 & ISBN-13: 9781906070113) accessible at: East Sussex Libraries

This is one of two volumes arising from an integrated research project co-ordinated and managed by the Romney Marsh Research Trust. The Trust exists to promote, co-ordinate and disseminate research into the historical, social, economic and physical development of Romney and Walland Marshes and their immediate hinterlands.
Now land-locked, lying two miles from the sea, throughout the medieval period Rye fulfilled a significant role as a seaport, in tandem with its much-larger sister town of Winchelsea. When Winchelsea collapsed, Rye experienced meteoric growth both in terms of population and prosperity. By the 16th century, it was a packed and bustling town, with a vibrant community, being home to one of the greatest concentrations of houses in south-east England. Fuelled by its prosperity and responding to pressures of population, it was during this period that many of the houses in Rye were rebuilt. However, regeneration was short-lived, followed by drawn-out decline, extending through the 17th century.
This volume is a study of the town's built heritage, placed within its historical context.

The excavation of prehistoric remains, a Roman road and post-medieval kiln at Stane Street, Westhampnett, West Sussex, by Greg Priestley-Bell, published 2010 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 148, article, pp.47-70) accessible at: W.S.R.O.

Evaluation and excavation on the line of Stane Street at Westhampnett, near Chichester, West Sussex revealed significant remains relating to the Roman road, including part of the agger, a flanking ditch, both zonal ditches and the rutted surface of a metalled 'carriageway'. Roman Stane Street at this location was c. 25 m wide in total, with c. 7 m between zonal ditch and flanking ditch (all measurements taken from the centres of the ditches). While the flanking ditch produced mid first-century AD pottery, a small quantity of Early Saxon pottery, together with fourth-century Roman pottery, was recovered from the surface of the rutted southern 'carriageway'. A brick kiln of probable mid sixteenth- to seventeenth-century date was revealed during the evaluation and preserved in situ. A small number of prehistoric features were also identified, including four possible Bronze Age pits, a Middle Iron Age ditch and a Late Iron Age/Early Roman pit.

The medieval hospital of St Nicholas, Lewes, East Sussex: excavations 1994, by Luke Barber and Lucy Sibun, published 2010 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 148, article, pp.79-110) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18613] & The Keep [LIB/500366] & S.A.S. library   View Online

During the spring/summer of 1994 excavations were undertaken at the former site of the medieval hospital of St Nicholas, Lewes, East Sussex prior to redevelopment works. Two areas were excavated but little structural evidence for the hospital buildings was located. One area revealed part of the hospital cemetery and 103 burials were excavated. Also within this area were two large quarries thought to have been dug during a construction phase at the hospital, probably in the twelfth century. The second area contained yet another quarry, used for the disposal of large quantities of domestic refuse, particularly pottery, in the early thirteenth century. This area also contained the remains of a sill wall for a timber-framed building, which may have served the hospital.

In 2009 the Brighton and Hove Archaeological Society returned to Hog Croft field at Ovingdean. The new season of excavations was designed to uncover and plan the medieval house found in 2003 and partially exposed in subsequent seasons. Previous excavations had uncovered the north/east and south corners of a substantial building constructed of flint and mortar. The corners of the house revealed previously had shown a distinct difference in construction, and raised a number of interesting questions.

Excavation of medieval burgage plots and further evidence of iron working on land off Pegler Way, Crawley, West Sussex, by Stephen Hammond, published 2011 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 149, article, pp.49-58) accessible at: W.S.R.O.

Excavation at Pegler Way has extended the evidence of medieval burgage plot boundaries recovered from an adjacent site on the Crawley High Street Relief Road and added more evidence of the local disposal of iron-working waste, although again the primary working site has not been identified. A rare find of a wooden scutching knife suggests flax processing. The site appears to have been used only for a short span, from the late 12th to the 14th century.

Excavation of a post-medieval cottage at Eartham, West Sussex, by David Butcher, published 2011 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 149, article, pp.185-198) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18614] & The Keep [LIB/500367] & S.A.S. library   View Online

In June 2009 an excavation was conducted in the village of Eartham, near Chichester, to investigate a group of buildings shown on 18th- and 19th-century maps. The remains of at least one building were located, together with large quantities of building material. Finds included pottery, animal bone, clay pipes, metalwork and glass; these suggest a date range for occupation of the buildings from the mid 17th century to the mid 19th century. Evidence was also found of occupation on the site from the medieval period, including a 13th-century cesspit

Since joining the staff as head gardener in September of 2007, I have been conducting research into medieval gardens as part of an ongoing programme of refurbishment and improvement of the gardens at Michelham Priory. This research has focussed on the relationship between the Monastic life of the Augustinian Canons (the Priory's original inhabitants), and the developing horticultural practices of the period. It has been undertaken with a view to improve the way the history of the Priory gardens is explained to the visiting public, and aims to appeal to the more dedicated horticulturist as well as someone looking for an interesting day out in beautiful surroundings. The intended outcome is to include more of the gardens' story as part of the planned reinterpretation of the Priory.

The Battle of Winchelsea, 1350, by Graham Cushway, published 19 May 2011 in Edward III and the War at Sea: The English Navy, 1327-1377 (pp.136-145, Boydell & Brewer, ISBN-10: 1843836211 & ISBN-13: 9781843836216)   View Online

Although Alfonso XI died of plague on 27 March the Castilian fleet continued their attacks on English merchant shipping. Edward's government feared the French might use them and a small knot of French vessels gathering at Leure to 'dominate the English Sea', in a spate of raids similar to those of the late 1330s. It was feared that they might land an invasion force, and rumours also abounded that they planned to intercept the annual English wine convoy. That the Spanish vessels were famously valuable tarets also influenced Edward and his commanders.

The Value of the Cinque Ports to the Crown 1200?1500, by Susan Rose, published 15 March 2012 in Roles of the Sea in Medieval England (edited by Richard Gorski, pp.41-58, Boydell & Brewer, ISBN-10: 1843837013 & ISBN-13: 9781843837015)   View Online

In the Safeguard of the Sea, the first volume of his naval history of Britain, Nicholas Rodger points out that the Cinque Ports are 'usually given a place of honour in medieval history as the main component of English naval power', but, he goes on to say, 'it is not clear that they ever deserved it'. In this he contradicts the belief of many medievalists including, for example, Colin Richmond and Michael Prestwich, that at some undefined period the Ports did indeed provide essential naval service to the crown.

During the summer of 1359 hundreds of English transport ships began to gather in the harbour of Sandwich, one of the founding members of the Cinque Ports. By August the assembled fleet had swelled to some 446 ships manned by 6,149 shipmasters and mariners. Aboard these vessels were the first contingents of what would become the most impressive army assembled by Edward III. Nobody aboard those ships would have considered that this would be Edward's last personal invasion of France.

Medieval occupation and clay extraction at Lewes Road, Ringmer, East Sussex, by Sean Wallis, published 2013 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 151, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18616] & The Keep [LIB/507730] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavation at Lewes Road, Ringmer, revealed evidence from several phases. One group of post-holes may very tentatively be interpreted as prehistoric; the few prehistoric and Roman finds were mainly residual in later features. Occupation on the site dated from the late 11th to early 15th centuries. In its first phase this consisted of field boundaries, a ditched trackway and rubbish pits. Activity on the site shifted north during the mid 13th to 14th centuries. A rectangular, post-built structure was identified, along with a chalk-lined well and a hearth, which could all be contemporary. A series of large irregular pits of this date were probably clay quarries. In the late 14th or early 15th century, a large pit was floored in chalk and chalk block walls were inserted. The function of this large feature is not clear; it may have been used as a settling tank for clay for ceramic production.

Medieval Pirates: Pirates, Raiders and Privateers 1204-1453, by Jill Eddison, published 2 September 2013 (192 pp., The History Press, ISBN-10: 0752481037 & ISBN-13: 9780752481036) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/508963] & West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

On coasts and in the ports of the Channel from the western approaches to Flanders Jill Eddison explains the potential for plunder, piracy and ship wrecking during the 250 years from 1204 to 1453. Early chapters guide us through the background and potential for conflict, describing the potential for loot from the medieval trade in Spanish iron, continental wines and salts, English wools, Cornish tin, and a host of rich clothes, tableware, furniture, and gradually, via the Genoese and Venetian merchants, the foodstuffs and medicines from Byzantium. The chapter on the evolution of shipbuilding gives a clear view of how the medieval mind grappled with boat design. Also how mariners hugged the islands and coasts which offered havens from Atlantic lows and the resulting storms, sailing without barometers, and utilising the experience of numerous voyages.
Fractured government during this era meant authority in ports was mediated by local merchants, their corporations, the barons, and the social strata sailing the boats; within which the consequent fluctuations between the power of local and national government gave space to privateering, piracy, ship wrecking and the plunder of ships seeking shelter from storms. The natural world added its woes and a social strata of mariners and townsmen emerged on both sides of the Channel, contemptuous of royal authority, a strata at once cruel and vicious, with little regard to ordinary sailors and folk ashore.
One is faced with legal and government evidence that numerous atrocities were committed by many in the south coast ports, especially by Cinque portsmen. This was certainly evident in times when kings declared war against France and Spain, though between such episodes the long stretches of uncertain conditions encouraged the portsmen to think only of themselves, to oppose regal authority when it suited, to attack supposed enemies, neutral shipping, and fishermen seen as competitors.
This book includes much material on the Cinque ports, which by the thirteenth century had morphed from basic trade and fishing communities into a cartel for looting ships, for attacking other ports, lounging around the Channel as a bandetti with piracy covered by the royal seal, conducting feuds both at home and abroad. Such warfare for self-interest, together with the royal claims to western France, leaves us a mass of useful archives.
This readable book is lavishly illustrated including 25 black and white drawings, photographs and well drawn maps, plus 15 colour photographs. Marcus Rediker's Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea drew our attention to the Caribbean pirates, and Jill Eddison's work will give a new focus to the history of our medieval channel, with its quite different social norms and cultures from the more civilised Europe of the early modern world.

Rusper Priory: A Medieval Sussex Benedictine Nunnery, by Michael J. Burchall, published December 2013 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 20 no. 8, article, pp.366-370) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/508979] & CD SFH40 from S.F.H.G.

Very little is known about the small nunnery that was founded by the family of De BRAOSE in the parish of Rusper on the Sussex/Surrey border in the mid-twelfth century and dedicated, like the parish church, to St Mary Magdalene. In 1852 Albert Way contributed an article to Sussex Archaeological Collection and in 1907 Louis Salzmann added some further information. Other authors have made similar, but smaller, comments. The family of De BRAOSE, who had held the Rape of Bramber from about 1070, were small benefactors to the Cluniac Priory of Lewes, the Benedictine Abbey at Battle and the Premonstratensian Abbey of Dureford, all great foundations, and founded the Benedictine Priory of Sele in Beeding parish following a disastrous attempt to found a priory at the gate of their castle at Bramber about 1070.

Community Archaeology is becoming increasingly popular across the country, but Sussex can claim a rarity - a project involving an entire primary school. Pupils from the school in Newick, East Sussex have recently enjoyed a second season of excavations as part of a scheme organised by University College London Centre for Applied Archaeology (UCLCAA). This year some 230 children aged between four and eleven years old dug at the site, some as seasoned veterans of the first school 'dig' in 2010, and some for the first time.

A medieval pottery production centre at Norlington Lane, Ringmer, East Sussex, by David Gregory, published 2014 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 152, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18617] & The Keep [LIB/508097] & S.A.S. library   View Online

The Lewes Archaeological Group (LAG) undertook a two-year excavation programme on a medieval pottery production centre which was under threat from deep ploughing. The first year showed that a substantial deposit originating from a waster heap had been spread over the workshop remains. The second year uncovered a kiln, for which it was a priority to obtain an archaeomagnetic date. Following the excavations, the LAG instigated a programme to evaluate the pottery by using a database, and to obtain a petrological analysis of the fabrics, along with a drawing record of the pottery types. The results would help with understanding of the medieval Ringmer pottery industry, accomplish a more accurate dating for Sussex pottery, and develop our understanding of medieval kiln technology.

Romano-British activity and medieval clay extraction at Osborne House, Chichester, West Sussex, by Julia Sulikowska, published 2014 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 152, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18617] & The Keep [LIB/508097] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavations on land at Osborne House, Chichester revealed evidence for activity dating from the early neolithic to the post-medieval period. Some residual early neolithic worked flint, as well as a few sherds of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery, were recovered from later features. A field boundary ditch provided evidence for Romano-British agricultural activity, and residual Romano-British finds, including pottery, ceramic building material and copper alloy objects, were retrieved from later features. The main focus of activity is related to the clay quarrying of late 12th, 13th and 14th century date, located in an unoccupied waste area within the outskirts of Chichester. It is likely that clay extracted from the site was used for pottery production, such as at the kiln sites near Southgate just north of the site, as it was a common practice to obtain clay in the vicinity of the production site. A number of possible medieval and post-medieval pits, some of which might have been used for rubbish disposal, were also recorded.

This paper discusses research into the area of the medieval and post-medieval deer park, at Downley in West Sussex, which is the focus of the Institute's current training excavations. The excavations constitute part of a wider project attempting to learn more about the development and function of the park through time. A range of information, which indicated the presence of a substantial lodge building within the park was considered and the 2014 excavations have revealed evidence almost certainly corroborating its presence. The project will continue both on and off site in 2015.

On many of my guided walks to look at historic church building stones, I refer to unpublished research that I've been working on since 2005. The following note records one of the more interesting areas of study, which started after I prepared building stone distribution maps for West Sussex in 2006.
Malmstone is a pale-grey, almost white, to dark grey calcareous siltstone, the local equivalent of the Upper Greensand. It is not the best material for a building stone, but is used extensively in the area of its geological outcrop through South Harting, Cocking, Duncton, Bury, Amberley, Storrington, Washington and Steyning.
