St Catherine's Estate, Windermere, Cumbria: Historic Landscape Survey Report

Oxford Archaeology North was invited by the National Trust to undertake an historic landscape survey of St Catherine’s, Windermere, Cumbria (SD 4090 9970 centred). This was intended to record and evaluate the archaeological and historical features within the 32ha (0.32sq km) of pasture, woodland and parkland, and to inform the future management of the estate.

The project was funded by the Local Heritage Initiative, which enables local communities to gain an awareness and develop a sense of ownership of their local heritage.

The project entailed a documentary study, an identification survey, a detailed survey of the gardens, a boundary survey and a parkland and veteran tree survey.
