Description

NRHE data transfer: In March 1996 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England carried out archaeological survey work at Tiptofts Manor, Wimbish, Essex. The survey was carried out at the request of English Heritage and was designed to tie in with excavation and extensive refurbishment of the Manor House. The Manor House was not surveyed, but it is hoped that a survey will be carried out by the Royal Commission in the near future. The survey was designed to look at the essentially Medieval and later landscape around Tiptofts which incorporates a moat, fishponds and pillow mound within a framework of probably Medieval fields. The survey was carried out at 1:1000 scale using a Wild electronic theodolite with integral EDM (using Trimmap survey software) and traditional graphical methods. A report and survey plan were produced to RCHME Level 3 standard specifications. See archive report and survey.
