The Manor House Ham Richmond-Upon- Thames

Oxford Archaeology have undertaken a trial trench evaluation within the grounds of
The Manor House in Ham, London Borough of Richmond, related to a proposed
development at the site. Three trenches were opened, one to the north of the house
on the footprint of a proposed guest house and two to the south of the house,
targeted on the site of a proposed sunken spa. The trench to the north of the house
did not contain any archaeological features but the two trenches to the south each
contained features apparently relating to the existing house and subsequent
alteration. Two possible quarry pits were revealed, backfilled with construction waste
as well as a garden feature apparently relating to the early phase of the house.
Other features relating to tree planting in the garden were also found as features
relating to later drainage.
