Abstract:		 During February 2017 Trent and Peak Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief on behalf of Twycross House School. The work was undertaken in February 2017 at Twycross House School, 1 Main Road, Twycross, Leicestershire (National Grid Reference: SK 33609 04950) prior to the erection of a theatre/drama school, as a condition of Leicestershire County Council planning permission 16/00671/FUL. Twycross House School is a Grade II listed building dating to 1703. The house, set at the centre of a farmstead, stayed in the hands of the Harcourt and Clare families up until the 1870s when it was acquired by the Howe estate and upgraded into a gentleman's residence. In 1978 it was purchased for use as a school. The building was extended to the west in c.1800, and was further extended and upgraded in the 1870s. During this latter phase of alteration to the building, the farm buildings and adjacent cottages were removed in order to create terraced lawns and gardens. The archaeological landscape of this site suggests a moderate use of the land including two small field boundaries or burgage plots and several small pits and post holes. The high level of modern disturbance, particularly in the south-eastern corner of the site may have truncated earlier archaeological deposits.
