Abstract:		 Passmores House is an 18th century country house incorporating 16th century elements, with a 19th century stable block. It is built on the site of an earlier, medieval, moated manor house. The medieval manor house is documented from the 12th century, and part of the moat survives as an ornamental pond to the rear of the existing house. Monitoring of 8 trial pits excavated around the outside of the house proved that potential medieval deposits survived at a depth of between 0.45 and 0.75m. One trial pit located the organic fill of the eastern aerm of the medieval moated enclosure. Documentary research identified a summary report on atrench dug in 1999 in the south-west corner of the existing house, which revealed a complex sequence of structural remains beneath the house, dating to the 15th-16th centuries. An undated earlier wall is probably medieval. A garderobe infilled in the 15th century contained large quantities of pottery and wooden and lether artefacts in its waterlogged lowest fill. Parchmarks in the grass behind the existing house probably indicate the foundations of the original medieval manor house.
