| Summary: | The chief Lazar House (leper hospital) in England, founded 1138-62, accidentally burnt in the C14th and dissolved in 1546. It is said that elaborate waterways were constructed to make use of 'healing springs'. Earthworks include a garden, buildings, a moat and ponds. |
| Description: | Scheduled Monument description: The monument at Burton Lazars is situated on the west side of the village, 2km south of Melton Mowbray. It consists of a medieval hospital complex which includes a moated site and two fishponds. The hospital complex is defined by a series of earthworks enclosed within a bank and ditch boundary which survives on all but the eastern side. The earthworks represent the foundations of buildings including the infirmary, chapel and domestic ranges. These are surrounded by an elaborate system of ditches and ponds, some of which appear to have been used for treating the sick and infirm. The boundary ditch is about 0.5m deep and 6m wide, with a bank about 0.5m high located on the inside. In the north-east corner of the complex is a moated site believed to be contemporary with the hospital. This moat is partly waterfilled and the site measures 100m x 80m in overall dimensions. The southern arm of the ditch is now a dredged-out pond, whilst the remaining arms are up to 10m wide and 2m deep. The moat island has an internal bank all round, and displays slight evidence of medieval ridge and furrow ploughing, indicating that it was cultivated after abandonment. To the north of this are two long, partly waterfilled fishponds, measuring approximately 80m x 15m, which are connected to the moat by a channel on the eastern side. Burton Lazars was the principal English hospital of the monastic order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem, a military order especially devoted to the foundation and protection of Christian leper hospitals. It was founded by Robert de Mowbray between 1138-62 but was burned down in the 14th century and dissolved in 1546. The elaborate system of waterways is thought to have been used for curative bathing and inspired an attempt to make Burton a spa c.1760. Excavations were undertaken on the building foundations by Charles Lindsay and the Duke of Rutland in 1913, when a large piece of pavement was uncovered, and a group of 'round ovens' which have been interpreted as tile kilns. The site was probably never a leper hospital - confusion may have arisen because the site was associated with the monastic order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem. <1> The earthworks on site were surveyed in the 1980/90s(?). <2> In the C12th Burton Lazars had two open fields adding up to 2,800 acres; the preceptory was on a 50 acre site carved out from the area under cultivation. It appears that the site was never a leper hospital. The site had was an emphasis on agriculture, with fishponds, workshops and barns. Documents show that by 1291 the chief preceptory at Burton was administering dependencies in several parts of the country (including the leper hospital at Tilton, Cold Newton). <4> |

| Summary: | There is a well marked on the 1st edition OS map and a building shown on the early C19th Surveyor's drawing. This may be the site of the bath (spa) with 'ancient cross' nearby that Nichols refers to. He connects them to the Lazar House but does not locate them. |
| Description: | Nichols says there were plans in the late C18th to demolish the spa and build a grander bath house, but this never happened. He related many tales of remarkable healings. Various people in the village remembered the spa as being directly opposite Lime Street/to the rear of the houses in The Close. Several of them remembered a weir and a low wall. There was apparently, 'an unaccountable hump of ground immediately adjacent to this spot, of some dimension'. <1 & 2> John Ward in his Chronology of Melton Mowbray (1889) said, "So late as 1849, that which remained of the old bath and well, was taken down and by order of the Lord of the Manor, the spring was arched over and is now covered with soil so that the exact place of the bath and site of the spring are known but to a few." |

| Summary: | Archaeological work in 2001 recovered several phases of river crossing thought to date from the medieval/early post-medieval period. The remains included stone foundations and walls and areas of cobbled surfaces. There may have been a bridge and a ford. |
| Description: | Archaeological work in 2001 recorded several phases of activity. There is documentary evidence for a bridge here in the early C14th (Woodford Cartulary). Phase I: Possible Roman crossing consisting of cobbled areas (see MLE20549). Phase II: Limestone structure on the western bank. Two courses of well-faced limestone blocks formed the foundation, with two courses of some kind of superstructure on top. The foundations formed a neat, seemingly purposeful design, presumably designed to guide the water around the structure and minimise the pressure of flow. It was thought that the stone structure could have been an abutment to support an additional structure, perhaps a timber crossing. Phase III: Bridge walls on the western and eastern banks, built from roughly hewn and faced limestone blocks. The main structural span of the bridge was missing, probably as a result of robbing. Phase IV: A broad deposit of small to medium cobbles overlying the Phase III bridge structure. Numerous iron small finds, mostly large square headed rivets/nails and several horse shoes were found by metal detecting within the cobble layer. They may have been laid to consolidate the bank or as a ford crossing for when the water level was low. Phase V: C18th/C19th disturbance caused by ploughing, pit digging, etc. <1> |
