83 Remuera Road, Newmarket (Lot 2 DP 44814): archaeological assessment (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
An archaeological assessment was conducted for the property at 83 Remuera Road, Newmarket, in response to a requested plan change from Residential 7b to Residential 8c to assess potential impacts on heritage values. The assessment highlights the historical significance of the site, including its association with St Mark's Anglican Church, and examines the changes in ownership of the property over time. The report underscores the necessity of preserving archaeological sites as protected under New Zealand law and provides insights into the potential archaeological features that may remain on-site.

Post Reformation Church Architecture in the Marischal Earldom
This paper will focus on the impact of the Reformation on parish churches and rural chapels within the lordship of the Earls Marischal from 1560 to 1625. The immediate problem for the Reformed Church was that of pre-Reformation neglect and a shortage of funds. Superfluous chapels were abandoned (Cowie, Kincardine) and old kirks were adapted as best they could, even if they were ill suited as preaching boxes (Fetteresso). Gradually there was more intervention in the fabric of parish churches by landowners and the nobility, in the form of burial aisles and vaults (Dunnottar, Benholm). Once the reformed kirk had consolidated its position in the 1610s it entered a period of rationalisation, for which the noble patrons of the parishes were intimately involved. Some churches were abandoned (Fetterangus, Keith Marischal) some moved to more convenient locations (Longley) and wholly new churches were built in newly created parishes (Longside and New Deer). The new kirk of Longside (1620) is considered in detail as it shows the notion of what a reformed kirk should look like as well as the process by which it was made. This chapter argues that often the kirk and its patrons had an uneasy relationship and parish reform could be slow and painful.
The history of parish church architecture reflects the ever changing religious state of the area which surrounds it and the cultures which inhabit it. The churches that survive today are a microcosm of the story of the parish of which it serves. Before 1750 parishioners had little concept of heritage and altered and modified their place of worship frequently: churches that remain in their original Saxon, Norman or early medieval state are likely to have been in a poorer area or abandoned, as ordinarily any spare money would have usually gone to either updating or replacing the original architecture. As a result we are left with relatively few examples of parish churches that are in their original state, but what this does is gives a record of the changing religious practices that have come and gone since the introduction of Christianity of Britain and they now stand as a record of these changes.
A new dimension to an old church (text)
This paper is the results of a project conducted as part of a course taken at Lund University in the autumn of 2014. The project focused on complementing the documentation of the S:t Olofsholm excavation of 2013/2014, through the use of digital techniques. The site was documented using Image-Based Modelling and the project aimed to discuss and evaluate the use and implications of such technologies in archaeological work and building documentation. The project is presented as a more detailed text version as well as in the form of a poster.
ST. LAURENCE'S CHURCH, WINSLOW: TOWARDS A NEW STRUCTURAL SEQUENCE
The paper proposes a structural sequence for St Laurence's Church, Winslow. It suggests that at the heart of the building is a nave, originally of the 12th century, and that aisles and a west tower were added no later than the early 13th century. The earliest elements in the nave arcade and tower arches date to the early 14th century, and represent a reworking of the original openings. Further reworking of the nave arcade took place later in the same century. The chancel comprises a rectangular chancel of the 13th century, extended in the 14th century. The windows and decorative features such as buttresses date to a variety of periods from the early 13th century to the 16th century. The east window dates to the 1450s, the porch to the 1460s, and the belfry stage to the 1470s.
Scottish medieval parish churches: the evidence from the dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld
The Antiquaries Journal, 2010
The great majority of Scottish parish churches owe their present appearance to reconstructions carried out from the later eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. It was the view of the authors of this paper, however, that in many cases those reconstructions had been relatively superficial, and that medieval work might have survived under what could, in some cases, be little more than a modern veneer. To test this view, a survey was carried out of all medieval parish sites within the dioceses of Dunblane and Dunkeld. The findings from that survey are summarized in this paper.
