Abstract:		 In January 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an historic building appraisal at Bisham Abbey in advance of proposals to remove two nib walls as part of a planning application to construct a hydrotherapy pool extension adjacent to the English Institute of Sport building. The former monastic precinct at Bisham is still traceable in outline within its square, formerly moated, enclosure, now protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM No. 19021). The site preserves a number of important buildings and fragments related to the monastery, associated secular buildings and elements of its subsequent development. A retaining wall lying adjacent to the appraisal structures was probably constructed on the foundations and lower courses of a 16th century precursor, which was raised in the 18th century to create an enclosed kitchen garden. The latter recorded on 19th century maps. Technical analysis suggests that the nib walls are contemporary with this period and probably relate to a doorway leading from the former shrubbery to the kitchen garden. The walls are, however, constructed of reused medieval masonry, including clunch, Reigate stone and flint.
