&
Oxford Archaeology (OA) was commissioned by Chase Homes to carry
out archaeological and historical analysis of the White Hart Hotel
Chipping Norton prior to and during its conversion to residential and
retail use. This important local building retained its elegant 18th-century
stone frontage, behind which lay the remains of earlier timber-framed
structures.
During building work a number of elements were exposed. These
included the main timber frame of the building and an almost intact late
medieval timber gallery at the rear. A high quality stone cellar was also
examined. During the building work much was revealed about the
historic development of the building as well as its decoration and its
fixtures and fittings.
