Abstract: |
A trench excavated by contractors ran up to the west side of a building known as the 'Abbey Barn', which is traditionally associated with Syon Abbey (Bridgettine 1431-1539) although its superstructure has been almost entirely rebuilt in red brick, with the possible exception of a four-centred doorway in weathered Reigate stone near the south-east corner of the building. The trench showed that the west wall of the building had a stepped foundation of rough hewn Kentish ragstone and Reigate stone bonded with yellow/buff sandy mortar, the top of which lay c 0.9m below ground level, which accords with the view that it was originally an abbey building. |
