Abstract:		 The 2014 excavation follows on from various earlier archaeological work done on the quarry, the most recent in 2013. It provides a fitting conclusion to what amounts to an exploration of the development of a landscape from the Mesolithic era to the Medieval period. No similar area has previously been explored in this way and represents an expansion of knowledge of regional if not national importance. A Bronze Age cremation deposit and a non-domestic post-hole building are of interest. The medieval evidence from North Park Farm Quarry forms an unusually complete picture of the functioning of a landscape in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its regularity suggests a carefully planned development and its demise was the consequence of a fundamental reorganisation of the local economy, itself part of a dramatic shift in the regional organisation of the landscape in the century or so between 1150 and 1250. The detail and relative completeness (especially of the evidence from the quarry) with which this development can be demonstrated at Bletchingley make it the best example of this change, and of very great importance.
