Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted at the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts for the construction of two new buildings - a residential Boarding House and a mixed-use Hub building. The school occupies the site of a late 17th-century Mansion House by Sir Christopher Wren with other historic buildings and gardens. The trial trenching revealed no archaeological features, deposits or artefacts earlier than the modern period. Trench 1, within the footprint of the proposed Boarding House, revealed a large tree-planting pit, contemporary with the gardens of the historic Mansion House and a raised bank of made ground dating to the 1970s development phase. Trench 2, within the footprint of the proposed Hub building, revealed a series of layers to a depth of 2m. The upper levelling layer contained modern brick associated with the buildings constructed in the 1970s. The lower layers contained un-frogged brick and tile fragments, some of probably 18th-century date; the layers are probably associated with the demolition of buildings illustrated on the OS map of 1877, near this location. The lowest layer encountered, situated above natural clay, was a black silt deposit containing china fragments of 19th-century date.
