The site of the medieval manor house and associated buildings is north of of Kingston Lacy House, Dorset. The location was identified in the late C20 and was investigated through documentary research, geophysical and earthwork surveys and a small-scale excavation.
Speaker: Dr Martin Papworth, former Archaeologist for the National Trust in SW England. His MA dissertation was based on an analysis of the Kingston Lacy account roll 1295-1462, which provide detailed records of the manorial buildings, the types of repairs carried out on them and their layout.
Remote lecturer. £4.00 visitors.
