Abstract:		 The monitoring of extensive building renovation works at Prior''s Hall, Widdington was undertaken between January and March 2007. Part of the flint foundations of the late Saxon building were revealed during alterations to the Drawing Room, as was a post-hole of possible 14th to 15th century date. To the west of the house a 13th century pit and a probable linear medieval feature were excavated. In the garden area, later medieval pottery sherds and numerous fragments of tile were recovered from mixed soil layers that may be contemporary with construction work on an adjacent 15th-16th century outbuilding or with the insertion of mullion windows and an upper storey in the east half of the hall. Remains of the demolished 17th-18th century wing of an outbuilding were recorded in the yard/garden to the south of the house. Within this wing were fragmentary brick structural remains of probable ovens and chimneys and a rectangular ash rake-out pit from beneath a copper. In the Drawing Room of the house 18th century dwarf brick walls (floor supports) were recorded and evidence for a change in doorway position was noted. Elsewhere on site, two probable post-medieval flint pathways were recorded. Additional recording and photography was undertaken on a number of features of the standing building revealed during the works, including a Saxon doorway, a Tudor mullion window and the remains of 18th century and later timber framing.
