Stow on the Wold

Stow on the Wold has a complex and interesting history. The hill top site was the location of a large prehistoric enclosure, probably covering a part of the site of the present settlement; a small portion of this enclosure (on the northeastern edge of the town) is designated as a Scheduled Monument.

The town is situated adjacent to the Fosse Way, and probably has Anglo-Saxon origins; in the medieval period it was a borough with a large central market place fringed with burgage plots; these features are still important elements of the plan and character of the town and now lie within the Conservation Area. Excavations in advance of development are identifying further important settlement sites on the edges of the existing settlement; such sites and the setting of the historic town will be significant factors in planning the expansion of the settlement. In addition a Roman settlement designated as a Scheduled Monument lies close to the northwestern side of the town adjacent to Abbotswood Registered Park and Garden, while to the southeast (and within the Conservation Area) is situated the remains of the gardens of Maugersbury Manor.

The significance of the local historic environment should be highlighted in the strategy.

4 Potential to include currently unknown heritage assets with archaeological interests

There is potential for currently unknown heritage assets due to the lack of previous archaeological investigation of this site.

5 Recent planning history

There is no record of any consultation regarding this area.

6 Recommendations

Assessment and evaluation should be undertaken prior to the determination of any planning application (where this has not yet been carried out), to include an assessment of the impact of the development on the significance of any heritage assets and their settings.

Significant amount of features dating from the Bronze Age to the Anglo-Saxon period mapped by NMP and faintly visible on AP.




There is limited potential for currently unknown heritage assets due to the assessment and evaluation detailed below.


This land forms part of a site for which a pre-planning application consultation in 2012 prompted desk-based assessment (SW11887; HER44406) and geophysical survey (SW11998; HER44473), and in 2013 a subsequent planning application (13/01856/FUL) for residential development prompted trial-trenching (SW12097; HER44625).

The work revealed archaeological remains of high significance. These comprised a late Bronze Age ‘ranch’-style boundary, extensive later prehistoric settlement, Roman activity and Anglo-Saxon settlement.

No objection was made to the proposed development on the proviso that archaeological excavation should be secured by means of an appropriate planning condition.

An appeal against the non-determination of the planning application is currently (January 2014) in progress.

In 2011 a pre-planning application enquiry prompted desk-based assessment (SW11069; HER39315) and trial-trenching (SW11393; HER42500) revealing the rampart of an Iron Age hill fort which is thought to underlie part of the modern town. The rampart is of very high archaeological significance. A nearby portion of the rampart is designated a Scheduled Monument in view of the national importance of the remains. The remainder of the Ashton House site is located within the interior of the hill fort, and so is archaeologically sensitive.

It was recommended that the area containing the bank and some adjoining land (together forming a zone c. 20m broad against the eastern boundary of the site) should be preserved and that no development should be undertaken there.

It was also recommended that adjoining zone measuring c. 40m broad (which contains a significant area of undeveloped land within the hill fort) should be protected against intrusive ground works, although development may be feasible there if this could be built above the level of archaeological interest.

There would be no objection to redevelopment elsewhere within the site, subject to an appropriate programme of mitigation recording being undertaken as a condition of planning permission.
