60 Long Garden Walk, Farnham

Watching brief carried out by D Graham of SyAS during construction of an extension to the existing building showed that the site had been terraced when the house was built and the topsoil dumped in the area of the new extension. Beneath this, a layer of chalk interspersed with occasional narrow 'Tudor' brick ran across the site. This layer probably represents the demolition rubble from a chalk and brick building, possibly of 17th century date, which presumably stood somewhere in the immediate vicinity.

St. Andrew’s Parish Church, Farnham

Monitoring of restoration works on the Church, and particularly the bell tower, by David Graham at the request of the Diocesan Archaeologist, David Bird. A number of re-used pieces of worked stone have been recovered from the inner face of the tower at the upper levels of the 16th century work. These all appear to be medieval and are presumably, though not certainly, re-used from an earlier phase of the church

Long Barn, near Waverley Abbey

Watching brief by D Graham of SyAS during the construction of an extension revealed a light scatter of Romano-British coarseware along the base of the topsoil. No features were present, and it is probable that the pottery has moved downhill from an occupation or kiln site (or both) at the top of the valley slope.
