An English Heritage report discusses the park at Lewes. Paul Everson 2005 'Lewes Priory, Sussex : the post-dissolution mansion and gardens of Lords' Unfortunately, due to its age it is only available by request from the NMR Swindon. Wayne Cocroft English Heritage CAMBRIDGE -----Original Message----- From: Discussion List for Contemporary and Historical Archaeology [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of DE Ops North-PTS13g2 (Brown Martin Mr) Sent: 25 February 2010 12:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: It's a funny old game Interesting stuff. The entry for Lewes Town doesn't mention the fact that the ground is built within the medieval Cluniac priory precinct. The usual configuration of the ground, including those earth banks, are thought to have been part of the formal gardens created for Lord's Place, the Sackville Mansion that replaced the priory! Also, the car park adjacent to the ground is overlooked by a mystery mound, sometimes called the Tump, which may be a big barrow, small motte or mini Silbury, depending on who you believe! All of which is better than the quality of football played there. Anyone who knows Lewes will also appreciate the ban on fireworks mentioned on the sign!
