19^th to 30^th June 

Trevor Coombs and Andrew Hutt have been involved with a site in Cholsey which may have been the site of one of the three Cholsey mills referred to Domesday.  The site is currently occupied by a house which started as a Medieval hall house, had a chimney and first floor added to it and has brick walls dating to Georgian times. Last December Martin Labram and Andrew carried out a resistivity survey of the garden to the east of the house and identified a number of anomalies (see the dark areas in the image below).

On 5^th May, Trevor and Andrew met the owner who invited us to excavate some of these anomalies in the two weeks 19^th to 30^th June.
