Geophysical surveys by English Heritage at Audley End House, Audley End, Saffron Walden, 2009-2010 - EEX56632

NRHE data transfer: Resistivity and ground penetrating radar surveys were undertaken at Audley End House grounds. The survey covered the lawn areas to investigate the enlarged Jacobean palatial buildings and the environs of Place Pond. Here historic mapping suggested remains of earlier monastic buildings associated with the Abbey of Walden may survive. A plethora of resistance and radar anomalies indicated the presence of substantial buried structures under the lawn directly west of the current house, likely to represent surviving remains of the outer court, as well as elements of the Tudor period landscape immediately predating the transition from the monastic to country house phase of the site.
