Description

MOLA conducted an archaeological desk-based heritage assessment for Abington Park, Northampton. The five proposed locations for new toilet facilities within Abington Park lie between Park Avenue South and the boating lake, close to the children’s play area. an assessment of the settings and significance of The Church of St Peter and St Paul and Abington Park Conservation Area concluded that two of the proposed toilet locations have the potential to cause harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets but two are unlikely to have a negative impact. Proposed Location 1 is the least likely to cause harm and the least likely to affect buried medieval and post-medieval remains of the village of Abington.
