Monument record TR 36 SE 890 - Post Medieval garden features at The Grange

Summary

Archaeological investigation in 2002 confirmed the layout of the historic garden at The Grange. The investigation confirmed the accuracy of the 1872 Ordnance Survey map, revealing original garden layouts, paths, and a central fountain. Most paths were chalk-based with flint surfacing, and few original edgings survived. The dividing wall between upper and lower gardens was robbed out, and later modifications—especially during the site's use as a school—introduced significant overburden and structural changes. Excavations also uncovered remnants of the original kitchen bay window and foundations of the Billiard Room and chapel extension
