Abstract: |
Kenwood House is a Grade I listed house set within an estate at the northern edge of Hampstead Heath in the north London borough of Camden. The original 17th century house was remodelled by Robert and James Adam for the 1st Earl of Mansfield between 1764 and 1779. Alterations to the house and estate were carried out for the 2nd Earl of Mansfield between 1793 and 1797 by the architect George Saunders and the landscape architect Humphry Repton. Numerous further minor alterations were carried out between 1811 and 1840 by William Atkinson for the 3rd Earl of Mansfield. During February and March 1998 and in May 2001 service-trenching work was undertaken in the vicinity of the house, and archaeological watching briefs of the works were carried out by the Centre for Archaeology of English Heritage. This report details the findings of both of these phases of excavation. |
