| Summary : The stone walls which surrounding the grounds of Lyddington Bede House. The walls on the north western and north eastern sides, and on the south eastern side bounding the churchyard, are principally of post-medieval date. Running south from the Bede House, between the Bede House garden and the churchyard, it overlies the remains of a medieval building which lay within the palace precinct. In the southern part of the Bede House garden, the present wall represents a rebuilding of part of the palace's precinct wall. Part excavation in this area has demonstrated that the first precint wall was constructed in the 14th century, rebuilt on a slightly different alignment in the 15th century and finally replaced by the present wall in the 18th century. At the southern corner of the precinct is a projecting stone tower of octagonal plan which dates largely from the late 15th century. |
