Details

The monument includes a complex circuit of fortifications along the periphery of The Garrison,the south western promontory of St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly.The Garrison,known as the `Hugh' until the 18th century,commands the main deep water approach to the islands through St Mary's Sound and The Road,and controls the chief harbour on Scilly,St Mary's Pool.The fortifications around the slopes of The Garrison were constructed,occupied and modified in successive stages from the early 17th century to the mid-20th century.The masonry curtain wall,batteries,redans and gateway in this monument are Listed Grade I and form part of a monument in the care of the Secretary of State.From the mid-16th century the defences on Scilly reflected national interests in defending the Western Approaches,initially to counter threats of war with France and Spain after the Reformation and due to increasing trade competition.Limited defence works during the 1540s and 1550s were not garrisoned into the later 16th century,but after the Spanish Armada the islands' defences were urgently reviewed.Consequently The Garrison was identified as the prime focus for future defensive fortifications.Following the building of an artillery castle,the Star Castle,on the northern crest of the Hugh in 1593-4,the controlling position of the promontory in the islands' defences was enhanced from C.1601 by reinforcing its landward approach with the first phase of this monument:a bastioned curtain wall from coast to coast along the eastern slope where it descends to the sandy isthmus that links the Hugh to the main body of St Mary's and where the Scillies' main settlement,Hughtown,grew from the later 16th century,fronting St Mary's Pool to the north.The C.1601 curtain wall survives,incorporating later modifications and rebuilds,from the present Gunner's Well Battery in the north to the Lower Benham Battery,330m to the SSE.It has a fabric of mortared uncoursed rubble,with irregular blocks packed by smaller stones.The wall top is generally 2m wide,though its present outward chamfer may result from 18th century refurbishment.Its inner,western,face is generally 1.3m-1.5m high,forming a parapet beside a thoroughfare,approximately 3.5m wide and now followed by a modern road except along the northern 100m.The wall's outer,eastern,face varies in height with the underlying topography,rising 4m-5m high in places.Early plans show the wall flanked along its entire length by an outer ditch,now largely infilled and masked but surviving as a visible feature over its southern stretch approximately 80m from the Duke of Leeds Battery to the Upper Benham Battery.This visible ditch is up to 4m wide and 0.5m deep from its outer lip;its inner face is cut over 1m into the bedrock beneath the curtain wall.Early records indicate the former outermost component of this defensive line was a broad earthwork called a glacis,a raised artificial slope,extending approximately 15m beyond the ditch to provide a clear field of fire from the parapet and bastions;no known remains of that glacis have survived following truncation by later development and landscaping.Early plans show the C.1601 curtain wall was provided with five projecting walled bastions,of quadrilateral and pentagonal forms,spaced 75m-85m apart except for the closely-spaced Upper and Lower Benham Batteries covering the steep southern descent to the coast.These bastions housed gun batteries which occupied the same sites,with similar plans,as the present batteries which are known as,from north to south: the Gunner's Well;King George's;Duke of Leeds';Upper Benham and Lower Benham Batteries.Those present batteries reflect varying degrees of later rebuild but portions of the early uncoursed rubble walling survive extensively in the facing walls of at least the Gunners' Well and the two Benham Batteries.The defences originally included a detached battery,since destroyed,on a natural rise called Mount Hollis,forward of the present King George's Battery and beyond this monument.The original gateway through the curtain wall has not survived.The early curtain wall is pierced by three underground passages,called sallyports.Each survives as a stone-walled and slab-roofed passage emerging at an eastern entrance framed by granite jambs and lintel.At the west,the sallyports were accessed by steps descending to a grooved portcullis recess;above the entrance,a slot along the recess carried the portcullis draw-chain to a small stepped superstructure.The northern sallyport,now blocked at the west,is between the King George's and Duke of Leeds' Batteries,and the central sallyport is between the present Duke of Leeds' and the Upper Benham Batteries,each passing beneath the thoroughfare and the wall.The southern sallyport curves south beneath the south west corner of the Upper Benham Battery from the inner face of the curtain wall.By 1655,the curtain wall had been extended south from the Upper Benham Battery for 200m,on its present line,to the Lower Broom Platform facing the north west side of Porth Cressa.A plan of that date shows two small gun platforms projecting from this extended wall at the sites of the present Upper and Lower Broom Platforms,together with an outer ditch beside the curtain wall up to the northern platform.These early platforms were replaced by the present Broom Platforms by the later 18th century,however rubble foundations of both early platforms survive outside the present wall,the southernmost flanked by remains of its southern wall.During the English Civil War,Scilly was held by Royalist troops from 1642-6 and 1648-51,with an interlude of Parliamentary control between.The Royalist troops became increasingly isolated,forming the last outpost of Royalist strength after 1649.Their preparations for the anticipated attack included a major strengthening of the defences of St Mary's.Their fortification of the Hugh is shown on a slightly later plan of 1655,depicting the defences extended by a bank and inner ditch,called a breastwork,along the coastal perimeter of the promontory,south from the Lower Broom Platform and around to the Gunner's Well Battery,to complete the defensive circuit.This breastwork is virtually intact over much of the north western coast,surviving as an earthen bank,generally 2.5m wide and 1m high on the outer side,accompanied on the inner side by a ditch averaging 1.5m wide and 0.75m deep.In places,an inner and outer facing of cobbles and slabs is visible along the bank.Behind the south east and south west coasts,some sectors of the breastwork have been lost to coastal erosion,while much of the breastwork's northern course is masked by 18th century defences.Three large batteries and nine smaller ancillary batteries project from the breastwork.The larger batteries are at the major angles in The Garrison coastline:on the south east angle at Morning Point;on the SSW angle at Woolpack Point,and on the western angle at Steval Point.The latter two are defined by remains of curving banks,up to 1.3m high and 20m-28m in external diameter,with traces of an outer facing of slabs,plus,at Woolpack,coursed rubble walling up to 1m high revealed by coastal erosion.At Steval Point,associated deep midden deposits are considered to derive from a barracks depicted behind the battery on the plan of 1655.That plan also shows a battery south east of Steval Point called `Bartholomew Platform',of which no remains are visible.Besides these surviving large batteries,two others on the NNW and northern angles of the coastline are named `Resolution' and `Newman Platform' on the 1655 plan but their sites are masked by the later structures of the King Charles' Battery and Store House Battery respectively.Supplementing the major batteries,the nine smaller batteries survive from a total of fourteen-fiftee depicted along the breastwork on 17th and early 18th century maps.These are defined by banks resembling the breastwork bank but erosion reveals coursed rubble outer facing at several.Behind the bank is a levelled platform,usually trapezoidal and up to 8.5m wide and 4m long from front to rear.The platform is backed either by a slight levelling backscarp or,in at least one case,by a distinct bank with an access break to each side.One small battery has been lost to erosion north of Morning Point;parts of two of the three or four mapped batteries survive between Morning Point and Woolpack Point;parts of four of the six mapped batteries survive between Woolpack Point and Steval Point,and the three mapped batteries between Steval Point and King Charles' Battery all survive well.No known remains survive of a single platform mapped between the Store House Battery and Gunners' Well.The central battery along the north west coast is accompanied by a levelled hollow,5m wide and 3m long,backed by the breastwork;this feature,probably an ancillary store,appears as a distinct structure on a map of 1715.The defences on Scilly were critically reviewed by Colonel Lilly in 1715 following war with France over the Spanish Succession.From then until 1750,the implementation of Lilly's recommendations by Master Gunner Abraham Tovey produced a major refurbishment in stone of the defensive circuit around the Hugh,or `The Garrison' as it came to be known from this phase.Lilley's plan of 1715 shows the curtain wall already extended north west to the Store House Battery on The Garrison's northern tip,and both that battery and King Charles' Battery,to the south west, had by then been faced with masonry.This curtain wall survives,generally 1.9m-2m wide,1m high on the inner side and 2.5m high on the outer,with a turf-capped top chamfered outwards.By 1742 the curtain wall had been extended to King Charles' Battery.This latter wall shares many features of the other walling built during Tovey's refurbishment: coursed walling employing neatly dressed,squared slabs,called ashlar,facing mortared rubble infill;a steep outward slope on the outer wall face,called a batter,and splayed openings called embrasures in the wall's upper edge to cover the gun crew while firing the cannon.Tovey also refurbished the 17th century masonry defences across the neck of the isthmus,heightening parts of the curtain wall by a capping of ashlar blocks,notably in the north and along much of the wall's inner face,creating an outwardly chamfered wall-top.At the batteries in the curtain wall bastions the extent of Tovey's rebuild varies,affecting the upper surviving parts of the two Benham Batteries in the south and the Gunners' Well Battery in the north,but involving an almost complete rebuild of King George's and the Duke of Leeds Batteries in the central sector. By 1742,a new rectangular battery,Jefferson's Battery,had been created from an earthen platform built between 1655 and 1715,extending north within the curtain wall from the 17th century guardhouse beside the Garrison Gate.General features of Tovey's refurbishment at these batteries include a parapet,usually with drainage slots,along the battery platform edge;paved hardstanding for guns around all or parts of the platform periphery and, in at least some cases,a low rear wall behind the battery.In 1742,Tovey re-modelled the Garrison Gate,the 18th century ashlar replacing the earlier 17th century fabric for several metres each side of the gateway.Tovey's gateway survives with an arched vault carrying the curtain wall and a wall-walk over the top,flanked to each side by a parapet.The outer wall of the gateway is constricted by a flattened arch and closed by two wooden doors.On its outer face,the arch has a moulded frame beneath a drip moulding.Above the mouldings a plaque bears Tovey's initials `AT';above that is a sunken panel with the Royal monogram `GR', the date 1742 and the initials `FG' of Francis Godolphin,the islands' governor.The gateway is surmounted by a small bell-cote.The outer approach to the gateway is flanked for several metres by low walls,stepped along their inner faces.Between 1742 and 1750,the masonry curtain wall was extended behind the southern coasts of The Garrison.Plans show the intention to extend the curtain wall around the entire coastal margin but the north west sector was never built and the wall ends at a ragged western terminal behind Steval Point.The extended curtain wall runs well back from the breastwork line to minimise the risk from coastal erosion;it averages 1.3m-1.7m wide at its chamfered top,1.2m-1.5m high on its vertical inner face and 2m-3m high on its outer face batter.At irregular intervals it incorporates embrasures and drainage slots,often with projecting spouts.The quality of masonry improves and the size of facing blocks employed increases as one progresses clockwise around the defensive line;these fabric changes often occur abruptly,reflecting differing building phases,changes in stone supply and/or work-gangs deployed in the construction.The thoroughfare behind the 17th century curtain wall was extended as a levelled,partly rock-cut,track behind this new curtain wall,facilitating the supply of cannon to the batteries but by 1750 this track had already become a popular walk for islanders.The curtain wall linked three large new batteries to replace the breastwork batteries at Morning Point,Woolpack Point and the earlier Bartholomew Battery on
the south east,SSW and south west of The Garrison coast respectively.Tovey also added a small battery on the south west,inland of an earlier ancillary battery between the Woolpack and Bartholomew Batteries.Confusion in the 18th and 19th century about battery names results in Tovey's battery landward of the breastwork's `Bartholomew Battery' now being known as `Colonel George Boscawen's Battery';the present `Bartholomew Battery' is the small battery Tovey added on the south west coast.Each battery is defined by a steeply battered ashlar wall,2.3m-2.6m wide at the top,though at Morning Point thinner walls were later added to increase the cover of natural outcrops on the north.Wall-heights vary considerably with the topography,rising to 3m high at the Woolpack Battery.The walls had embrasures, though these survive largely intact only at Woolpack.The batteries' levelled interiors all had paved gun hardstandings,most of which survive except at Colonel Boscawen's Battery whose interior was excavated to house an early 20th century military generator.Each large battery is accompanied by a break in the curtain wall.Beside the Morning Point and Woolpack Batteries,this comprises a narrow foot-passage through the wall;beside Colonel Boscawen's Battery,a broad ramp slopes down to the outer side from the corner between the battery and curtain wall.The batteries differ markedly in plan Morning Point Battery is a flattened pentagon,38m long,WNW-ESE,by up to 19m wide internally;the gun hardstandings here are unusual in having edge-set slabs along their rear edges,backed by slight earth banks,acting as back-stops to the guns' recoil.The Woolpack Battery is pentagonal,30m long,NNE-SSW,by up to 39m wide internally;this battery has a substantial rear wall,to 1.75m high,with a formal entrance arch at its centre.A plastered recess in the battery's east corner derives from an ancillary building,its lean-to end incorporated into the battery's rear wall.Colonel George Boscawen's Battery is semi-octagonal,20m long,north east-south west,by 35m north west-south east internally,much modified by the later generator.The small battery now known as `Bartholomew Battery' is an irregular quadrilateral,up to 12.5m long,north east-south west, by 24m wide.Supplementing these batteries,Tovey replaced the breastwork's smaller gun batteries by six triangular walled platforms called redans,projecting from the curtain wall and ranging up to 15m long and 24m wide.Rubble and facing stone for this major extension came partly from nearby quarries;two large examples,up to 40m across and approximately 6m deep,are cut into the hillslope in this monument behind the Morning Point and the Woolpack Batteries.Wedge-split boulders on this coast may also derive from this building activity.After this massive refurbishment,the later 18th - early 19th centuries saw few changes.Coastal erosion at the 17th century Upper and Lower Broom Batteries required their rebuild after 1750 by extending the curtain wall across the bases of these formerly projecting batteries,reducing them to steps in the curtain wall line;vertical joints in the masonry mark the limits of the refurbishment at each platform.A stone sentry box was also built on the north west corner of King George's Battery,overlooking the approach to the main gateway.On the south eastern coast between the Lower Broom Platform and Morning Point Battery,the narrow strip between the breastwork and the masonry curtain wall was divided into small cultivation plots,recorded in 1796 as used by Garrison soldiers.Those plots survive,abandoned,but defined by low banks up to 1m high.They are linked by a path along the curtain wall's outer foot,reached by stone steps down the wall's outer face at intervals beneath embrasures.By the early 19th century the plots had been extended along the south coast to the Woolpack Battery;these are still visible.The Garrison was re-armed during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars,1793-1815,but no major structural changes were made.After 1815 the troop strength was drastically reduced and The Garrison was staffed by veterans and invalids.By the 1830s,and probably during the 1793-1815 wars,a small prison and guard room had been built against the landward side of the curtain wall's unfinished western terminal above Steval Point.The building was rented in 1853 to the mason at Bishop Rock lighthouse but by 1888 it was ruinous;its north wall survives,5m long,faced with uncoursed rubble.In 1834,Master Gunner Porterfield drew plans for a men's and women's privy-house on the curtain wall east of the Store House Battery for the new Coastguard Force.The privy-house survives largely intact,built as drawn.By the mid-19th century,the Garrison's military installations are recorded as largely rented out or neglected and in 1863,their troops were disbanded,leaving only a caretaker in charge.In the 1890s,an Army and Navy Review recommended the Isles of Scilly should be established as an advanced naval signalling and re-fuelling station and be classed as a defended port against perceived threats from the French Atlantic naval bases.Implementation of this between 1898 and 1906 produced a range of defence works focussed largely on The Garrison.Most were sited beyond this monument on The Garrison's summit plateau,where two large batteries and a barrack block were built between 1898 and 1901.By 1902,those batteries' six-inch guns were felt to give inadequate defence against motor torpedo boat attack and two more batteries were approved,armed with twelve-pounder quick-firing (QF) guns.One of the twelve-pounder QF batteries,the Steval Point Battery,is located in this monument at the crest of the western slope above Steval Point.Shielded by a steep `L-shaped' earthen rampart,the battery has two concrete gun emplacements situated 15m apart behind the rampart's west flank,each with a low concrete parapet along the forward edge of a platform incorporating a circular studded holdfast for the gun mount.The rear faces of the emplacements contain lockers,called expense magazines,to hold ammunition for immediate use.Behind the emplacements a deep rectangular access and light well leads to an underground brick-vaulted ammunition magazine.The well,with original tubular steel railings,is faced by rendered concrete walling including a 1904 date slab.A door in the west wall leads to shell and cartridge stores;doors in the north and south walls lead to smaller storage and workshop rooms.Ventilation pipes ascend the upper walls of the light well from the magazine and southern store.Behind the rampart and magazine well is a levelled area protected by a concrete parapet on the south.In the north of the battery is the flat-roofed `L-shaped' battery caretaker's quarters,with a low concrete parapet along its roof's seaward edge.These quarters,currently a dwelling,are excluded from this scheduling.Other structures in the monument that complemented the batteries of this phase include two range-finding searchlight installations, termed `defence electric lights' (DELs),together with the searchlight director stations that controlled them,and the engine room that powered them.The DELs are located close to the tips of Woolpack and Steval Points,within the 17th century batteries there. Each survives as a `D-shaped' rendered concrete building,5m long by 3.8m wide and 2.9m high overall,with a flat,concrete roof supported by steel girders.The curved end faces seaward and contains the searchlight aperture,1.25m high,with a 180 degree field of view and corroded iron shutter-guides along its upper and lower edges.A doorway is located in the recessed right-hand corner of each DEL.The floor of the Woolpack DEL has the square outline of its searchlight mounting with an angled cable-supply trench.Each DEL is partly masked by an earthen bank,rising to the base of the aperture but higher at the rear,leaving an access gap.The bank joins the 17th century battery bank at the Woolpack DEL where,beyond the bank's seaward edge,a drainpipe emerges and cut T-section stanchion bases and grooves survive from former fences and barbed wire entanglements.A pipe to the coastal cliff also drains the Steval DEL.Two searchlight observation posts to control these DELs overlook them on the midslope behind the Woolpack and Steval Points.Each is a subrectangular rendered concrete building with chamfered forward corners.Partly sunken into the hillside,each has a flat,girder-supported concrete roof,3.7m long by 2.7m wide.The Woolpack post survives intact,with a shutter-closed viewing-aperture at the chamfered end facing seaward and metal pipes through the roof and the west wall.The Steval post was modified to form a pillbox in World War II.Each post has a rear doorway;at Steval a single stairwell extends back from the rear wall but at Woolpack two stairwells rise to each side.The Woolpack post also has a slit-trench beyond its forward walls.Electricity for the DELs was supplied by an oil-fired generator housed in a large,subterranean engine room occupying most of the interior of the 18th century Colonel Boscawen's Battery.The engine room has rendered concrete walls and facings and a flat roof with raised ventilation points,now blocked.The roof is sunk into the interior of the battery and measures approximately 11m by 17.5m overall.The engine room's doorway and windows,all now blocked,are in its north east wall,facing a deep access well with concrete steps.A tunnel,approximately 1.5m square in section and now blocked,is cut south west from the engine room,emerging at the coastal cliff as a visible feature.Other features from this phase include a rock-cut well north east of the Bartholomew Battery and now enclosed within a modern brick wall.A small square building shown in the northern corner of the Bartholomew Battery on the 1907 OS map has been removed but its former presence explains a missing paved gun hardstanding behind the embrasure at that point.A rectangular structure shown on the same map within the north western 18th century redan near Steval Point is now visible as a flat concrete raft,11m long,north east-south west,by 6m wide,partly covered by thin turf,surrounded by sawn-off bases of metal fence posts.During construction of these defences,a radical review of national defence policy shifted the percieved dominant threat,and the emphasis of coastal defence,to the east to face growing German power and ambition.This re-orientation was strengthened by the Entente Cordiale with France in 1904 and reflected in the Owen Report of 1905,recommending the abandonment of the Isles of Scilly as a naval station and defended port.Some of the 1898-1906 fortifications had been used for training but the guns were dismantled in 1906 and by 1910 had been removed to storage in Falmouth.The eastward emphasis was maintained in the First World War; then the Garrison housed some naval personnel and an observation-balloon base but this monument contains no new defensive structures of that period. In World War II,troops were again stationed on The Garrison,which housed a radar cell and aviation fuel stores.Protection against enemy landing parties was provided by five pillboxes around the periphery of the Garrison,all within this monument.Four survive largely intact but the fifth,by the Garrison Gate,presents no known remains.Three pillboxes are built into forward points of 18th century batteries:in the Upper Benham Battery,the Morning Point Battery and the Woolpack Battery.Each is built from concrete blocks with a flat concrete roof;at Upper Benham and Morning Point,they are sunk into the battery interior with their forward upper faces,with gun slits,projecting slightly above the rear of the 18th century battery wall.At Woolpack,the pillbox occupies the full thickness of the battery's forward apex and was effectively concealed,its forward facets being neatly faced with granite slabs,matching the fabric of the 18th century battery wall below.The earlier searchlight director station above Steval Point was converted into the other pillbox by removing its shutters and infilling the aperture with concrete blocks,leaving a gun slit in its forward facet and creating two new slits in the sides.The pillboxes were complemented by barbed wire entanglements and firebreaks leaving no known remains,though contemporary diarists discuss dumping the barbed wire at sites within the monument in 1946,marking the latest event in this monument's successive fortification.Excluded from this scheduling are all English Heritage fixtures and fittings;all modern road,track and drive surfaces;all modern power supply lines,electric lights,fittings and supporting poles;all modern drains,sewage pipes,breather points and collection chamber,service pipes,cables and fibres and their various service trenches and fittings;the modern flagpole and fittings and the modern bollards at the Duke of Leeds Battery;all modern garden furniture,sheds,greenhouses,fences,gates and gateposts; the battery caretaker's quarters at Steval Point Battery and its tenant's privately-owned fixtures and fittings;all modern buildings erected against the curtain wall faces;but the ground beneath these features is included.MAP EXTRACT The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.

Reasons for Scheduling

The Isles of Scilly,the westernmost of the granite masses of south west England,contain a remarkable abundance and variety of archaeological remains from over 4000 years of human activity.The remote physical setting of the islands,over 40km beyond the mainland in the approaches to the English Channel,has lent a distinctive character to those remains,producing many unusual features important for our broader understanding of the social development of early communities.Throughout the human occupation there has been a gradual submergence of the islands' land area,providing a stimulus to change in the environment and its exploitation.This process has produced evidence for responses to such change against an independent time-scale,promoting integrated studies of archaeological,environmental and linguistic aspects of the islands' settlement.The islands' archaeological remains demonstrate clearly the gradually expanding size and range of contacts of their communities.By the post-medieval period(from AD 1540),the islands occupied a nationally strategic location,resulting in an important concentration of defensive works reflecting the development of fortification methods and technology from the mid 16th to the 20th centuries.An important and unusual range of post-medieval monuments also reflects the islands' position as a formidable hazard for the nation's shipping in the western approaches.The exceptional preservation of the archaeological remains on the islands has long been recognised,producing an unusually full and detailed body of documentation,including several recent surveys.The strategic location of the Isles of Scilly in the Western Approaches assumed increased importance nationally by the mid-16th century.From that point the islands' defences have reflected national considerations,from initial works in the 1540s-1550s involving artillery castles on Tresco and on St Mary's to counter threats from France and Spain,through to defences of the mid-20th century designed to counter German landings.The early recognition of The Garrison as the chief defensive focus on the islands has resulted in 350 years of successive fortification of this promontory.The fortifications erected during most phases of this monument have survived well.Although the component batteries and other defences each have considerable importance in their own rights,the monument's value as a surviving defensive system is even greater.Spatially,the rare survival of such a complete defensive circuit allows the relationships of its components to be studied against their armament capabilities and the strategic methods by which those defences were intended to be used.Through time,the fact that each successive stage in The Garrison's defensive system has tended not to obliterate the previous defences is in itself rare and permits close study of the effects on ground defence works of developing armament technology and military strategic thinking through most of the post-medieval period,against the controlled background of a single location.Considerations of national defence have directly inspired each of the monument's successive phases.Even where such considerations led to the abandonment of the early 1900s naval base,the result has been a very rare survival of inter-related defences of the early 20th century,within and beyond this monument on the Garrison,barely modified by later works.
