Source Number  

1 Archaeological observation at Tredington House, which incorporates part of a late 15th century rectory, recorded an undated stone wall. The wall cut a medieval ground surface, which contained 12th/13th century pottery. The wall also contained a fragment of stone jamb in oolitic limestone, presumably from an earlier building on the site. This must have been a relatively high status building as the stone for its masonry details was not local, being imported from Ilmington. The method of construction of the wall suggested that it may also have been medieval and it was possible that it was part of the former 15th century rectory. The re-used masonry within the wall may have derived from rebuilding part of the church.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
