Abstract:		 Small-scale archaeological trenching and watching-brief recording was carried out in 2008 around the fringes of the Grade II listed Passmore House before its conversion into a residential care home. The house was built in 1727 on the site of a medieval moated manor house, protected as a scheduled monument. The western, southern and eastern sides of the medieval moat were recorded, and the fourth side was formed by the Todd Brook. The moat was not closely dated, but appears mainly to have been infilled at the time of the construction of the existing house in 1727, but with its southern arm surviving as an ornamental pond. The flint foundations of a north-south wing of the earlier manor house were recorded to the south of the existing house, dated by a brick string course to the 16th century. Brick capping of the foundation is interpreted as 17th-century underpinning of a timber superstructure. These walls relate to earlier building remains recorded beneath the south-west room of the 1727 house by Wally Davey in 1999. It is argued that the earlier wing of the manor house was demolished in 1727, but that its northernmost room, a parlour, was retained as the south-west room of the present house.
