Abstract:		 Between April and October 2007, a watching brief was maintained on groundworks at Manor Farm Cholsey, during conversion of the site to commercial office use. It has been suggested that Manor Farm is on the site of a monastic grange belonging to Reading Abbey, and a large tithe barn known as Cowper''s Barn existed on the site until 1815 when it was taken down. No evidence to confirm the existence of the grange was found during the watching brief. The only features exposed within the farmyard were a number of compacted post medieval yard surfaces, a brick-lined well which later in its life had been converted to pump use by capping the top and inserting a metal pipe, and a short length of southeast to northwest wall footing in one of the service runs. This footing was constructed of modern frogged bricks and older handmade bricks. The presence of older reused bricks may indicate that there had been older buildings predating the current farm buildings on the site. Five 85m trenches for a geo-thermal heating system were excavated in the field between Manor Farm and the church. Other than modern services, the only features exposed were a number of irregular pits which might have been excavated for sand and gravel extraction
