Small-scale excavation and observation of construction works at Sutton Place, near Guildford, in the 1980s recorded a hint of earlier medieval occupation at the site and some archaeological evidence for the gatehouse (north) wing, the foundations of the east wing, a few buried features elsewhere around the house and earlier landscaping to the north. Subsequent research on the appearance of the north wing leads to the suggestion that elements of the demolished gatehouse were re-used in the late 18th century to make the existing grand entrance to the south range.
