Time Team - Poulton Hall, Pulford, Cheshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results

Wessex Archaeology

As a result of the Time Team evaluation, it appears likely that the Abbey was never built at Poulton Hall. The evaluation suggested potential alternative sites for the Abbey through the analysis of the historical mapping, aerial photography and topography of the area. The most likely location is in and around the area of the small chapel.

The earliest phases of activity at the Poulton Hall site appear to date to the 14th century and probably relate to the use of a monastic grange. Occupation, activity and rebuilding of structures continued until the 16th century, when the grange evolved into a manor house, and then through to the 19th century when it was finally demolished.
