Former school, 41 Beadles Lane, Oxted

Historic building recording by L Brooks of Brooks Building Consultants of a purpose-built National School and attached Headmaster’s house, prior to their demolition, revealed a construction date of 1872, as recorded on a date stone in the front elevation. Small extensions added to the front of the school in 1912 were probably constructed to provide separate entrances for girls and boys. Original timber windows and staircases, cast-iron fireplaces, rainwater goods and airbricks, and decorative and gauged brickwork were recorded.

Abbey Lodge, Abbey Gardens, Chertsey

Evaluation by J Aaronson of CA within the Scheduled Monument of Chertsey Abbey revealed a considerable amount of residual medieval material, including pottery, tile and brick that undoubtedly derives from Chertsey Abbey, but is believed to be material previously sifted out during excavations carried out in 1954. Gravel layers were also revealed that may have formed part of an earlier path skirting the south and western sides of the mid-19th century Abbey Lodge.

Aldi site, Gogmore Lane Chertsey

Evaluation by O Good of CA revealed evidence of low level, late post-medieval to early modern activity across the eastern part of the site in the form of a ditch, a large pit, two postholes and a short section of wall foundation. The features identified correlate well with the known development of the site in the mid–late 19th century by the Lion Brewery and its eventual demolition and redevelopment in the mid-20th century.

Land west of Folly Hill, north of Farnham

A detailed gradiometry survey by T Richardson of Stratascan was conducted over c 5.8ha of grassland. With the exception of a single cut feature that might be archaeological in origin or equally related to modern agricultural activity, the survey did not identify any anomalies of probable archaeological character. The majority of the anomalies detected were modern in origin, including ploughing, services and land drains.
