Desk-based assessment by P. Ryan of the earthwork remains of Woodham Walter Hall, before 1999 - EEX61951

Documentary research was undertaken in the Public Record Office, the Essex Record Office and the Winchester Record Office. Long standing residents of Woodham Walter provided information about the more recent history and village lore associated with the 'Ruins'. The Essex Sites and Monuments Record was consulted for aerial photographs. The detailed survey of the earthworks surrounding the site of the Hall compiled by the staff of the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments was also consulted. Note: The dates of this research is not made clear in <1> and as such the event has been titled 'before 1996'. It was probably undertaken by Pat Ryan in preparation for her unpublished thesis (<2>) which is dated 1996. It is also possible that the research was ongoing since Ryan's field survey in 1979 (EEX24936).
