Description: | Semi-collegiate Hall, suppressed 8.1334, by Edward III at request of Oxford University SK03370735. College gate of early C14 date and part of old wall, situated at corner of Brasenose Lane and St Paul's St.{1}{2}{3}
First reference to Brasenose in 1559 (although C13 Building) when repairs taking place. Old building pulled down in 1688 - sounds like open hall with central hearth. The gate which formerly stood more backward rebuilt on present site. In 1704 building rebuilt from old material. Change of use. In 1739 became workhouse. In 1822 demolished.{4}
Site and Gate scheduled.{5}{6}
Floor tiles from college.{7}
DURING AN EVALUATION AT STAMFORD SCHOOL IN 1992, A DEMOLISHED WALL WAS REVEALED, WHICH INDICATES THAT A MASONRY STRUCTURE ONCE STOOD AT THIS LOCATION. ROOF TILES SUGGEST THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS A BUILDING, RATHER THAN A SOLITARY WALL. THIS WALL HAS BEEN INTERPRETED AS BEING PART OF BRASENOSE COLLEGE OR AN ANCILLIARY BUILDING. {10}
IN JUNE 1995 AN UNDATED, STONE-LINED WELL SHAFT WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CAR PARK ON THE SITE. IT WAS RECORDED AND THEN SEALED WITH A CONCRETE SLAB. {7}{8}{11}
IN OCTOBER 1995 TREES WERE PLANTED ON THE WESTERN PART OF THE SITE. THE DIGGING OF THREE TREE HOLES WAS OBSERVED. A LIMESTONE WALL, ROUGHLY 0.4M IN WIDTH WAS OBSERVED. THE LIMESTONE BLOCKS WERE IRREGULARLY SIZED AND ROUGHLY FACED, AND THE WALL HAD A RUBBLE CORE. IT APPEARS TO BE OF MAINLY DRY STONE CONSTRUCTION. IT IS THOUGHT THAT THIS WALL MAY REPRESENT PART OF THE BRAZENOSE COLLEGE, OR IT MAY BE A GARDEN FEATURE. IT IS OVERLAIN BY A DUMPED LAYER WHICH IS INTERPRETED AS A LEVELLING LAYER FOR GARDEN CONSTRUCTION.{9} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1066 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
