Abstract:		 Resistance survey was carried out across the lawn using a twin-probe configuration with three different electrode separations: 0.5m, 1.0m and 1.5m. It was hoped that these might provide greater information of features surviving at depth; a greater penetration is achieved with the wider separations, but with a consequential loss of resolution. The results of the survey are clearly affected by past landscaping and consolidation that has taken place at the site. In addition, the large amounts of building debris, as seen in the excavation trenches, has masked many of the structural elements. Despite these problems, particularly clear responses were obtained from wall foundations on the croquet lawn close to Trumpeters House and along the western edge of the main lawn. ExcavationTrenches 2 to 4 confirmed the main resistance results but indicated a more complex arrangement of building remains. Elsewhere, Trench 1, indicated that broad changes in resistance coincided with a wall line that had deeply filled rubble to the north and relatively stone- and brick-free deposits to the south. It is believed that the low and high resistance bands in the southern half of the lawn are associated with former channels of the Thames and possibly embankments, though these areas were not investigated archaeologically.
