In March 2016, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at Coton
House, Rugby, Warwickshire. The evaluation was commissioned by Coton House Rugby Ltd
and was undertaken prior to the residential development of Areas C2-C6, which form part of
a wider development scheme at the Coton House Estate.
The evaluation demonstrated that the areas between the recently demolished 20th-century
buildings had undergone widespread disturbance, with layers of recently deposited made-
ground overlying the geological substrate. However, truncation was generally minimal and if
archaeological remains had been present they would have been encountered in the trial
trenches.
With the exception of two modern pits, no archaeological remains were encountered and
there were no finds in the excavated deposits, other than modern material.

Coton House (Phases C2-C6), Rugby, Warwickshire: Archaeological Evaluation
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 In March 2016, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation
at Coton House, Rugby, Warwickshire (site centred on NGR: SP 5180 7946; Fig. 1).
The evaluation was commissioned by Coton House Rugby Ltd and was undertaken
prior to the residential development of Areas C2-C6, which form part of a wider
development scheme at the Coton House Estate (Areas C1-C9 and BHH1-BHH3;
Fig 2).
1.2 Four separate planning applications have been submitted to Rugby Borough Council
(RBC), the local planning authority, for the overall development at Coton House; the
current stage of evaluation relates to planning application R12/1353 Hybrid and
fulfils the requirement for a programme of archaeological evaluation of the part of
the site covered by this application (Condition 33). The area covered by the Hybrid
application has been divided into eight phases (C1–C6 and BHH1–BHH2), five of
which are the subject of this report (Phases C2–6); archaeological evaluation of
Phase C1 was completed in 2015 (CA 2015a) and Areas BHH1 and BHH2 were not
suitable for evaluation.
1.3 The site has been subject to two previous stages of evaluation, undertaken by
Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA 2014) and CA (CA 2015a); the current
evaluation has targetted areas in Phases C2–C5 that were not accessible when the
earlier evaluations were undertaken. The scope of the current evaluation was set out
in a Written Scheme of Investigation prepared by CA (2016), following consultation
with Anna Stocks, Warwickshire County Council’s Planning Archaeologist (WCCPA),
archaeological advisor to RBC.
1.4 This report also includes the results of the archaeological monitoring of the
remachining of Area C6, which was carried out by CA in February 2015. This area
was formerly a car park that had been stripped of its tarmac surface and sub-base
prior to agreement of the evaluation strategy with WCCPA.
1.5 The project was carried out in accordance with the WSI and abided by the Chartered
Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Evaluation
(CIfA 2014) and the Historic England (formerly English Heritage) procedural
documents Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (EH 1991) and Management

2. SITE BACKGROUND
Site location, topography and geology 2.1 The site is located within the grounds of Coton House, off the A426 Rugby to
Lutterworth road, approximately 4.5km to the north-north-east of Rugby town centre
(Fig. 1). It comprises a block of land to the west and south-west of the refurbished
18th-century house, which was until recently occupied by a complex of 20th-century
buildings and associated landscaping. The buildings were demolished in 2015 and
much of the area has undergone ground remediation prior to redevelopment. The
ground is generally flat and lies at c. 129m above Ordnance Datum (aOD).
2.2 The solid geology of the site comprises Jurassic mudstone of the Charmouth
Mudstone Formation (BGS 2016). The bedrock is overlain by extensive superficial
deposits of the Oadby Member, comprising unstratified and poorly-sorted deposits of
glacial till (diamicton).
Archaeological background 2.3 The site has been the subject of a desk-based assessment carried out by PJO
Archaeology (2009), from which the following summary has been taken.
Prehistoric 2.4 The earliest known site in the vicinity is a possible Bronze Age barrow, located c.
300m to the south-west of the site (MWA2780). It is shown on the First Edition
Ordnance Survey map as a tumulus, although the HER suggests that alternatively it
may be the remains of a medieval windmill mound (WSP 2009). A Middle Bronze
Age cremation cemetery and pits have been investigated nearby, approximately
400m to the south-east of the supposed barrow, prior to the construction of industrial
units on the south side of the M6 Motorway (MWA7953 and MWA 10312; NA 2001).
The remains of a Late Iron Age settlement were investigated at the same site (MWA
10314).
Roman 2.5 There are no known Roman settlement sites in the vicinity, although finds dating to
the Roman period have been found in the general area, suggesting that there is

Coton House (Phases C2-C6), Rugby, Warwickshire: Archaeological Evaluation
some potential for Roman remains to be present. The route of Watling Street, the
Roman road from London to Wroxeter (Viriconium), passes within 700m of the site’s
eastern boundary.
Medieval 2.6 The origins of the medieval hamlet of Coton or Cotes, the site of which lies
immediately to the south of the M6 Motorway, dates to the late Saxon period (mid-
10th century). At this time it comprised a complex of rectangular and square
enclosures, possibly focussing on a sub-circular mound located in the south-eastern
part of the site. The date of the mound is uncertain, but it was used in the post-
medieval period as a windmill tump.
2.7 The hamlet, which derived its name from the Middle English word for ‘cottages’ (low-
status dwellings), was part of the parish of Churchover and is first mentioned in a
charter of 1206 (NA 2000). Following an initial gift of parish land to Combe Abbey in
the late 12th century by Robert de Wavre, the abbey gained further land within the
parish and by the end of the 13th century Coton was the largest of the abbey’s
granges outside the three home farms. It is likely that the grange buildings were
located on or near the site of Coton House. Excavation at the site indicates that the
hamlet was abandoned at the end of the 13th century (NA 2001) and the land was
eventually turned over to park land.
Post-medieval and modern 2.8 In 1551, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the estate was purchased by
William Dixwell, who built a moated manor house at Coton, either on the site of or
incorporating elements of the former grange buildings. In 1757, on the death of Sir
William Dixwell, the estate passed to his nephew William Dixwell Grimes, whose son
Abraham Grimes demolished the early manor house and built the current Coton
House. This was built in 1787 to designs by the architect Samuel Wyatt and it
remained in private hands until 1948, when it became an apprentice hostel and then
a management training centre. The house, a Grade II* Listed building, was severely
damaged in a fire in 2010 and is currently being renovated.
2.9 The stable block, a Grade II Listed building, is broadly contemporary with the main
house; with the exception of the house it is the only building within the site to date
from the late 18th century (CA 2015b). It comprises three two-storey ranges
arranged around a courtyard, with the principal range facing to the north-west.

Coton House (Phases C2-C6), Rugby, Warwickshire: Archaeological Evaluation
2.10 The geophysical survey (NA 2013) and evaluation (MOLA 2014) of the site
undertaken by MOLA (formerly NA) identified the remains of a walled garden and
located the south-eastern section of the moat, which was c. 6m wide and over 1.2m
deep. A brick revetment against the outer face of the moat was dated to the 18th
century, suggesting that the moat was refurbished when Coton House was built in
the late 1780s; this section of the moat had probably silted up by the late 19th/early
20th century and was eventually backfilled. The water-filled north-western section
and northern corner of the moat are still extant.
2.11 The evaluation of Area C1, carried out by CA in December 2014, revealed the
foundations of glasshouses and ancillary buildings to the south-west of the main
house (CA 2015a). These foundations included a large conduit or flue topped by
substantial limestone slabs, which may be the remains of an underfloor heating
system associated with the glasshouses.
3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
3.1 The objectives of the evaluation, as stated in the WSI (CA 2016), were to provide
information about the archaeological resource within the site, including its
presence/absence, character, extent, date, integrity, state of preservation and
quality, in accordance Standard and guidance: Archaeological field evaluation (CIfA
2014). This information will enable RBC, as advised by WCCPA, to identify and
assess the particular significance of any heritage asset, consider the impact of the
proposed development upon it, and to avoid or minimise conflict between the
heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the development proposal, in line
with the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012).
4. METHODOLOGY
4.1 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of ten trenches (1.9m wide and between 20-
30m in length, totalling 245 linear metres) in the locations shown in Figure 2. The
original trenching scheme had been for fourteen trenches (350 linear metres), but it
was not possible to access Area C2 (Trenches 6, 7 and 10) due to ground
contamination identified by the principal contractor and Trench 3 could not be
excavated as the area had already been stripped for development (no

archaeological features were noted in this area). The locations of Trenches 2, 11
and 14 in area C3-C5 were altered on the ground due to live services, spoil heaps
and modern intrusive works already undertaken prior to trenching.
4.2 Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS
and surveyed in accordance with Technical Manual 4: Survey Manual (CA 2014).
The trenches were excavated using a 360-degree mechanical excavator equipped
with a toothless ditching bucket. All machine excavation was undertaken under
constant archaeological supervision to the top of the first significant archaeological
horizon or the geological substrate, whichever was encountered first. Where
archaeological deposits were encountered they were excavated by hand in
accordance with Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (CA 2007).
4.3 Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential in accordance with
Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other
Samples from Archaeological Sites (CA 2003); no deposits were encountered that
were suitable for sampling. There were no finds.
4.4 The archive from the evaluation is currently held by CA at their offices in Milton
Keynes and will be deposited with Warwickshire Museum on completion of the
project. A summary of information from this project, as set out within Appendix B, will
be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain.
5. EVALUATION RESULTS
Areas C2–C5
5.1 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of ten trial trenches (Fig. 2) that were
positioned to investigate areas that had not been accessible during earlier phases of
evaluation (MOLA 2014; CA 2015a). To avoid digging through areas of recently
prepared made-ground, where any archaeological remains would likely have been
entirely truncated, the trenches were located in the areas between the sites of now-
demolished modern buildings. Area C2 was not accessible due to ground
contamination. With the exception of two modern pits in Trenches 5 and 8, no
archaeological features were encountered in any of the trenches. Modern service
trenches were identified in five trenches (Trenches 2, 8, 12, 13 and 14).

Coton House (Phases C2-C6), Rugby, Warwickshire: Archaeological Evaluation
5.2 The geological substrate, which was largely consistent across the site, comprised
light yellowish-brown to mid orangey-brown silty clay. In Areas C3 (Trench 1) and
C4 (Trenches 2 and 8) the geological substrate was sealed by modern made-
ground, ranging between 0.10m and 0.45m thick, although remnant subsoil was
noted in Trench 2 (Fig. 3).
5.3 In Area C5 (Trenches 4, 5, 9, 11–14), which covered the southern part of the site,
there was generally far less disturbance, although in Trenches 4 and 5 the
geological substrate had been truncated to a depth of c. 0.3m (Fig. 4). In Trenches
9 and 11–14 the geological substrate was overlain by mid orangey-brown silty clay
subsoil, sealed by a greyish-brown silty clay topsoil (Fig. 5). Due to site constraints
(trees, shrubs, access roads etc.) it was not possible to position a trench over the
postulated line of the moat in this area.
Archaeological monitoring in Area C6 5.4 Prior to the start of the archaeological investigation of the site by CA, the area of the
former car park in Area C6 had been stripped to a depth of c. 0.5m with the removal
of the tarmac surface and sub-base. The stripped surface had subsequently
weathered and been colonised by weeds. As this location was in an archaeologically
sensitive area adjacent to the north-western section of the moat and had not been
subject to evaluation, it was agreed with WCCPA that the area would be
mechanically cleaned back and stripped to the level at which archaeological features
could be identified.
5.5 In February 2015, under archaeological supervision, the surface was cleared of
weeds and leaves to reveal that subsoil remained in situ across much of the area,
although it was extensively truncated and had been reduced from c. 0.25m to 0.05m
thick. In places the geological substrate, comprising mid yellowish-brown silty clay,
had been exposed. To determine if archaeological remains were present beneath
the subsoil, the remnant layer of subsoil was removed but no archaeological
features or deposits were encountered.
6. DISCUSSION
6.1 Previous archaeological investigation of the site (NA 2013; MOLA 2014; CA 2015a)
had found no evidence for any remains associated with Coton Abbey’s medieval

Coton House (Phases C2-C6), Rugby, Warwickshire: Archaeological Evaluation
grange or for any medieval activity within the site, although the area where such
remains are most likely to be have been located, beneath or close to Coton House,
were not accessible for trenching or lay beyond the boundary of the development
area. The findings of the current evaluation were consistent with those of the earlier
investigations in finding no evidence for activity on the site prior to the late post-
medieval period.
6.2 Due to site constraints it was not possible to excavate trenches across the
postulated line of the moat at the south-eastern edge of the site. The moat, which
was probably dug for William Dixwell in the mid-16th century to surround the manor
house he had built on or close to the site of the grange, had been located in Trench
1 of the MOLA evaluation. Partial excavation of this feature revealed a probable
18th-century revetment wall against its outer slope, suggesting that the moat had
been partly refurbished when Coton House was built in the late 1780s (MOLA 2014).
It subsequently silted up and was probably backfilled in the early 20th century when
a sewer was installed along its length. The north-western section and northern
corner of the moat can still be seen as a water-filled channel to the north of the 18th-
century stable block.
6.3 The precise site of the medieval grange and the 16th-century manor house are
uncertain and no evidence for either has been found within the moated enclosure by
any of the phases of evaluation. The revised edition of William Dugdale’s Antiquities
of Warwickshire, which dates to 1817 (first published in 1730), suggests that they lie
near but not under Coton House: ‘Near the site of the ancient pile, long known
residence of the Dixwell family, is a handsome stone mansion on elevated ground
with views over picturesque parts of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire’. Given the
scale of modern development at the site in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly
to the west of Coton House, it is likely that any remains of the grange and manor
house, if present in this area, would have been destroyed.
6.4 Although the site had undergone extensive modern disturbance associated with the
demolition of the 20th-century buildings that until recently occupied the central area,
the areas between the former buildings targetted by the current evaluation were not
truncated to any depth so if archaeological remains had been present, they would
have been encountered in the trial trenches. However, no archaeological remains
were encountered in any of the trenches and the results are consistent with those of

the pre-demolition evaluation undertaken by MOLA, which found no archaeological
remains in the central area.
