Abstract

Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an excavation of the East Parterre
steps at Witley Court, Worcestershire (SO 769 648) on behalf of English
Heritage. The excavation revealed the brick bases of the removed
limestone steps S8,10, 13, 14 & 15. The limestone capping had been
entirely removed on all steps except the ballroom steps (S13), where a
remnant remained in situ. The brick bases incorporated a number of
fragments of limestone, sandstone, tile and slate. Some worked stone was
incorporated which appears to have been reclaimed from the structure of
the earlier buildings on site. A range of finds were recovered including
chandelier and window glass, architectural fragments, moulded plaster,
pot and tile
