ENN111357 - Newton Field Centre, 2023 (Desk-Based Assessment)

The site of Newton Field Centre (formerly the Church of St Faith), Newton, Northamptonshire has been assessed for its below ground archaeological potential. The site comprises the church, two paths within the churchyard, a triangular-shaped piece of land and an access road. Based on the available information, it could be conceived that the part of the study site located beyond the churchyard wall, has a potential for Saxon, Medieval and Post-Medieval remains associated with the Deserted Medieval Village of Little Newton. However, it is probable that settlement would have been set back from the church. Accordingly, this assessment identifies a moderate potential for Saxon, Medieval and Post-Medieval archaeological remains within the proposed garden site. A low potential is identified for all other periods of human activity. Any surviving remains are likely to be of local or regional interest. The development proposes the use of land as a garden.
