Description

Results from the magnetic survey show responses associated with the Georgian hall. The majority of the data is magnetically disturbed which may indicate brick rubble associated with the Tudor hall or past landscaping. Modern responses are also visible within the data in the form of metal pipes. GPR survey has clearly identified the position and width of the west, south and east ranges of the Tudor house, including the southwest tower. The central entrance tower was only partly surveyed due to trenches and spoil material. Some responses relating to the northern range were also identified thereby delimiting the footprint of the Tudor dwelling. Part of the footprint of the Georgian mansion was mapped, the data also revealed, with depth, the extent of the more recent house’s cellars.
