  • Longforth Farm - A Medieval Manor House Rediscovered

    This booklet provides a summary of the exciting discovery in 2013 of a previously unknown medieval manor house at Longforth Farm. The area now covered by the Longforth Farm housing development was formerly agricultural land, but 800 years ago it was the location of a large and imposing complex of manorial buildings on the edge of the newly established market town of Wellington. The archaeological investigations have been entirely funded by Bloor Homes Limited, enabling the site to be excavated, the discoveries published, and an open day and other public events to be held. The project represents a successful collaboration between Bloor Homes Limited, Wessex Archaeology and Somerset County Council, and demonstrates how archaeological investigations can be accommodated within the planning and construction process to the benefit of all.
