Full Description
PRN 13620
LOCAL TRADITION CLAIMS THAT THERE WAS A HOUSE, KNOWN AS DRURY HOUSE, IN THIS AREA, APPARENTLY BUILT IN THE MID 1600s. A WATCHING BRIEF WAS CARRIED OUT TO THE SOUTH OF THE CLAIMED HOUSE SITE ON LAND AT THE JUNCTION OF DRURY LANE AND FRIEST LANE. A SEVENTEENTH CENTURY RUBBISH DEPOSIT, APPARENTLY A POT KILN WASTER DUMP, WAS IDENTIFIED WITHIN A FORMER DRAINAGE DITCH PERPENDICULAR TO DRURY LANE. LARGE PIECES OF SIXTEENTH TO EIGHTEENTH CENTURY GREEN GLAZED PANCHEONS SIMILAR TO TOYNTON-BOLINGBROKE AND BOURNE TYPE WARES WERE RECOVERED. THIS MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH DRURY HOUSE. {1}{2}
