1. SCOPE OF THE REPORT 1.1 This report comprises a record of the historic cellar structures at Heckfield Place, Heckfield,
Hampshire (NGR SU 730 612), made by Souterrain Archaeological Services Ltd (Souterrain) on the 1st December 2010, during, and prior, to groundwork for an extension to the mansion house building (Fig. 1).
2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 Planning permission (Reference 10/01861/MAJOR) was granted by Hart District Council
(HDC) on the 10th November 2010. The cellar area forms a part of combined development proposals which will include an extension to the basement area to the west of the historic Manor House, and is itemised as: ‘3. Demolition and re-construction of north gable wall of Manor House’.
2.2 Due to the archaeological sensitivity of the locality, Condition 04 of the planning consent
required the applicant to secure the implementation of a programme of archaeological work in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI), in order to enable archaeological records to be made within the area of new ground works. This was in accordance with the Department of Environment’s Planning Policy Statement 5 (PPS 5 2010), Hampshire County Council (HCC) policy and the saved policy CON11 of the Hart District Local Plan.
2.3 During a site visit on the 26th November 2010, Hampshire County Council’s Planning
Archaeologist (archaeological representative for Hart District Council) advised that a Historic Building Record would be the appropriate form of archaeological mitigation for the historic basement cellar area. A WSI would not be required for this element of the archaeological works.
2.4 The work was commissioned by Operis Construction Ltd, on behalf of Pomegranate Investments Ltd, the planning applicant and site owner.
3. SITE LOCATION 3.1 Heckfield Place Park comprises 25.4 hectares classed as a Grade II Registered Park and
Garden (England), No. 4037. It is located on high ground, the lower slopes of the estate facing northeast over the valley of the River Whitewater.
3.2 The mansion house is situated in the south-west part of the estate at approximately 79.50m
above mean sea level. The cellars are located on the west side of, and partly beneath, the mansion house (Fig.1), covering an area of approximately 126sq.m.
4. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE 4.1 Little is known about the site on which Heckfield Place was built. In an historical gazetteer
of the locality compiled in 1843, J G Robertson recalled: “a handsome modern building, worthy of a visit for its own merits” which occupied “the most sheltered corner of the Heath [i.e. Heckfield Heath], deeply embowered in the wood”1. The Listing Building text for the Grade II edifice describes a ‘large mansion of classical form, its earlier origin masked by 19th century restoration’2.

4.2 The house was built by John Lefevre, a wealthy businessman of Huguenot descent who purchased the land in 1785 for the purpose of building a country house. Lefevre is thought to have built Heckfield Place for his daughter Helena. He had, in the previous year, bought The Grove, a small early 17th century mansion house which stood about 500m to the north-west of the development site. The Grove appears to have been the most significant property in this area at that time; it was demolished sometime around 1818 and archaeologically excavated in the 1990s3. Lefevre died in 1790, the same year of the completion of Heckfield Place. Helena and her husband inherited the estate4, adding two wings to the house in c.1818. The terraces and pleasure grounds were also laid out in the early 19th century creating the setting of a country house.
It is understood that there was a farmhouse somewhere in the vicinity of Heckfield Place called Baker’s Farm, and it has been assumed that the stable yard and the cellars and at the northwest end of the house belonged to this farm5. Nineteenth century maps (Figs. 2 to 4) reveal little change to the layout of the mansion house.
5. METHODOLOGY 5.1 The archaeological work was carried out in accordance with the Institute for Archaeologists’
Code of Conduct and observed current Standard and Guidance6. 5.2 For ease of description, the main cellar structures are referred to as A to E in this report.
Figure 5 shows the plan and suggested phasing of the structures, and Figure 6 shows the direction of photographic Viewpoints for subsequent Figures 7 to 22.
5.3 The photographic record comprises digital images and black and white prints, all of which
are to be submitted as an archive, to Hampshire County Council’s Archaeology and Historic Environment Record on completion of the project.
5.4 The Site Code/ Accessions Number allocated for this site by Hampshire County Council
Museums Service is A2010.78
6. OBSERVATIONS 6.1 The cellar comprises two large barrel vaulted cells situated directly beneath the northeast
corner of the mansion house (Fig.5, A and B), and three smaller barrel vaulted cells to the west and south west (Fig.5, C to E). There appears to have been two phases of construction, followed by alterations and additions made in the 19th century and in more recent years.
6.2 The cells hang off a single corridor of irregular width (Fig.5, 16 and 21), two on the south
side (D and E) and three on the north side (A, B and C). The complex is accessed via a flight of steps at the northwest end of the ground floor (Figs.5 and 11).

6.3 The two large cells, A and B (Fig.5), possibly represent the earliest building phase. Symmetrical in form, their original dimensions are c.7.45m x c.3.45m. Each was served by a light in the north wall (Figs.15 and 17); the one in cell B was later blocked in. It is probable that cell B was the inner store and accessed only through cell A and via a door in the dividing wall (Figs.14 and 18), the latter which was later blocked in when an access corridor was created from the south end of cell A. At some stage the roof structure of cell B was reinforced by three brick arched ribs, two of which were extended to ground level as internal partitions (Figs.16 and 18). A brick built shaft for a dumb waiter was a modern addition to cell A (Figs.5 and 10). Bricks used in the vaulting are in English Bond, comprised of alternating courses of stretchers and headers; brick dimensions being generally 222 x 100 x 60mm. Bricks used in the secondary phase are generally 222 x 100 x 70mm or 222 x 110 x 70mm. The height of cell A was c. 2.44m and cell B was 2.36m although the floor is likely to have been re-surfaced. Opening up works in the floor of cell B revealed the ‘toe’ foundation of the north wall to comprise at least three courses of brick (Fig.20).
6.4 Cells C, D and E (Fig. 5) probably represent a single construction episode. Cell D was separated from Cell C by a short length of barrel vaulted corridor (2.75m length x 2.29m width x 4.2m height; Fig.21). Cells C and D are partially situated beneath the 19th century west wing extension of the mansion house. There was no evidence of another cell to the west of cell C. As with cells A and B, the bricks used in the vaulting comprise alternating courses of stretchers and headers, and brick dimensions are generally 222 x 100 x 60mm.
6.5 Cell C (Fig. 5) measured c.4.28 x 1.9m and appears to have been appended to the west wall of Cell A. Most of the structure had been demolished at the time of recording although there was still evidence of the barrel vault (Figs. 7, 8, 12 and 13), its overall height being approximately 2.25m. Cell D measured approximately 4.78 x 2.03m; it was inaccessible, having been reinforced by brickwork throughout. Two relieving arches were exposed in the lower west wall face of the mansion house above the barrel vault of cell D (Figs.21 and 22).
6.6 Only the lower part of the east wall of cell E remained (Figs. 7, 8 and 9), though is thought
to have been similar in dimensions to cell D. 6.7 There was no evidence to suggest that the cellars belonged to a previous farm building. It
is reasonable to infer from the evidence, that the two larger cells (A and B) belonged to the original design of the 18th century mansion house, while other, smaller vaults were appended not long afterwards.
