An historic environment desk based assessment was carried out during July and August 2016 at 1 Foxcote Hill, Ilmington, Warkwickshire in connection with an application for the conversion of an existing rear garage to residential. The assessment has shown that there has probably been continued settlement activity at Ilmington from the prehistoric period, including Roman and medieval occupation as evidenced by a number of stray finds and recent archaeological discoveries. The study lies on the south-eastern periphery of the village, at the base of the lane leading up Foxcote Hill, in an area that appears to have historically been a separate hamlet. The assessment concluded that the property was historically part of a farm, one of three that appears to been established during the 17th century as a result of further expansion of the village. The house itself represents a building associated with one of these former farmsteads, possibly a barn later converted into labourers' cottages, one of which was subsequently demolished.
