Abstract:		 On the 6th October 2014 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a photographic survey of WWII graffiti in the attic of Keswick Old Hall, Low Road, Keswick, Norfolk in advance of renovation works. Keswick Old Hall is known to have billeted military personnel during World War II and the graffiti in the attic was thought to date from this period. The survey identified inscriptions from at least nine individuals who occupied the attic rooms during World War II and originated from all over the UK and as far away as the Canadian coast of Lake Superior. Military ranks and regiments were sometimes recorded, with the names Royal East Regiment of Kent (The Buffs) and the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) identified in the graffiti. Four of the panels contained numerous drawings rather than inscriptions and these varied from profiles of faces, a cartoon dog, two phalli and a large drawing of a lady with a small dog. At least two artists were responsible for the drawings, which were of limited artistic quality, but rather of historical value to the Hall itself. A later phase of graffiti dating to 1969 was also identified and comprised mainly relief etchings into the plaster. These often added to the original pencil drawings, indicating that they were still visible by this date. The plaster walls were generally in a poor state of repair, however the graffiti was usually legible, if unintelligible in some cases. The survey was therefore successful in identifying and preserving by photographic record all surviving graffiti in the three attic rooms.
