Abstract:		 A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over an area of approximately 2.4 ha at Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire. The survey was undertaken as part of a wider multi-disciplinary research project in support of a bid to investigate and potentially restore the designed landscape at the site. The specific aim of the GPR survey was to enhance the existing, more limited, earth resistance and magnetic coverage over the remains of the original location of the house and to determine whether any remains of the former parterre gardens survive further to the south beneath the croquet lawns. The GPR survey confirmed the location of the original house and identified a number of anomalies known either from historic mapping, topographic or parch-mark evidence. Additional anomalies, recorded to a depth of approximately 2m, provided more detailed information from the croquet lawns where the recent land use history, including episodes of ploughing during the 1950s, were likely to have destroyed any near-surface remains.
