ABSTRACT

Excavation beneath the standing building of the Prebendal Manor House at Nassington revealed the remains of part of a tenth-century structure and the plan of an early eleventh-century timber chamber and single-aisle hall. The eleventh-century remains are identified as the hall of the priest which was later transferred to endow a prebend at Lincoln cathedral. That building was modified in the twelfth century when the single-storey chamber was replaced with a two-storey structure. The timber house was replaced c.1200 on almost exactly the same site by an unaisled stone hall with a span of 7.6 m and a stone chamber. The chamber was conjoined with the hall, but entered externally. In 1433–50 a major reconstruction of the hall was undertaken, with the walls raised and a new roof constructed. The service wing was rebuilt in a slightly later phase, with a clasped purlin roof dated to c. 1455. The later development of the manor house is treated more summarily. Parts of the hall are still standing, while the chamber was not demolished until c. 1800. The persistence on the same site of a manorial building from the eleventh century onwards is notable, and the reasons for this are examined.

摘要

在纳辛顿 Prebendal Manor House 立式建筑下方的挖掘揭示了 10 世纪结构的一部分的遗迹以及 11 世纪早期木屋和单通道大厅的平面图。十一世纪的遗迹被确定为牧师的大厅，后来被转移到林肯大教堂的一个预弯中。该建筑在十二世纪进行了改造，当时单层房间被两层结构所取代。大约 1200 年，木屋在几乎完全相同的地点被一个跨度为 7.6 m 的无通道石厅和一个石室所取代。房间与大厅相连，但从外部进入。在 1433-50 年，对大厅进行了重大重建，将墙壁抬高并建造了新屋顶。服务翼在稍晚的阶段重建，带有可追溯到c的檩条屋顶。1455.对庄园后期的发展进行了较为概括的处理。大厅的一部分仍然存在，而房间直到 c. 才被拆除。1800. 从十一世纪起在同一地点的庄园建筑的持续存在是值得注意的，并且检查了其原因。
