16 The Park, Great Bookham

A third season of excavation by L Spencer of SyAS on the postulated site of Bookham Courte revealed an extension to the demolition layer initially uncovered in 2014 (SyAC 99, 224). It was found to overlay a succession of sterile layers above the remnants of a packed chalk floor, itself partially overlying an extensive area of flint cobbles that may relate to the ‘Great Yarde’ referred to in a 1616 description of Bookham Courte.

Wix Farm Barns, Epsom Road, West Horsley

Historic building recording by G Elliott and D Milbank of TVAS of two barns and the adjoining cart-shed and stables. In their original form, both barns were for threshing and consisted of five bays with waggon entrances within the central bay. The south-west barn is largely unchanged from its original form. The north-west barn has been altered, with the removal of the covered waggon entrance and possibly a north aisle. A sixth bay was added to its west end and the roof extended further to include stables and a cart-shed. Another stable block abuts the south wall.
