Level 2 building recording by Cotswold Archaeology at Hamilton Lodge, Parsons Hill, Great Bromley, 2022 - EEX60668

Level 2 building recording was carried out on a group of buildings at Hamilton Lodge, comprising the lodge, associated coach house, walled garden remains and a gate lodge, in advance of 67 new dwellings at the site. The extremely poor condition of the house, coupled with appreciable levels of debris and damage, caused by the building’s vacancy and vandalism compromised certain aspects of the survey. The NW elevation of the house was mostly visually and physically inaccessible due to mature vegetation and, similarly, the Southern ground floor area of the Coach House was inaccessible. The principal built elements of the walled garden were substantially obscured by mature vegetation, allowing only partial visibility of the NE wall. Lastly, the dilapidated ‘vine room’ at the SE extent of the walled garden was inaccessible and partially obscured by vegetation.
