Monument record 1301/14 - Peverel's Manor

{1}The site of the manor of Peverel is not certain. The fact that the Dovecote, Barn and Stables, all in Grove Street imply the manor is next to them. That these buildings are part of the Peverel Manor is likely. According to the DOE listing manual, "probably formed part of the Peverel Manor at Raunds." (1992, 59).

{2} The presence of quarrying in the vicinity is well attested and similarly extensive evidence has been revealed close to Thorpe Street and at the Smith's Containers site c.50m to the east. The areas of quarrying that were identified occupy the part of the site that was initially seen to have the highest potential for medieval and early post medieval remains associated with the site of Peverel Manor. It is likely that any possible remains will have been truncated by this activity, although it cannot be ruled out that the quarrying itself may in part have been related to the construction of the manorial complex.

{3} Sites within the study area include a probable manorial complex of Peverel Manor.
