Geophysics in the garden: a survey of the gardens at Duncombe Park, North Yo...
Jane Wheeler
Arnold Aspinall
Roger A Walker
85 - 91
Geophysical survey has revealed lost details of the original garden that once fronted the eastern façade of Duncombe Park, North Yorkshire. In particular, through improved techniques and procedures, a series of magnetic and earth-resistance anomalies to the east and south of the existing nineteenth-century building have been located and interpreted as garden beds and the remains of a stable block associated with the original house, built 1713. Drawings of the house have been re-evaluated to provide a relative chronology of the complex phases of rebuilding which were undertaken in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The corroboration of architectural drawings and sketches of the house with modern aerial photographs of the site and geophysical survey data demonstrates the complementary strengths of these resources to reveal the hidden history of both house and garden.
