Welcome to the Surrey Heath Archaeological & Heritage Trust's Chobham Park Archaeology web page.

These pages are devoted to our current project researching the medieval origins of Chobham Park, just east of Chobham village, Surrey.

When the project is complete, the results will be published in the Surrey Archaeological Society's Bulletin.

These pages are designed for users who wish to follow the work in progress. They will be updated regularly, and reports from the project team will appear here in draft form as soon as they are available - click on 'Results' in the top left margin of this page.

You are welcome to download them for personal use, but please note that some elements of the reports may change as analysis progresses. All reports remain the copyright of the authors and Surrey Heath Archaeological & Heritage Trust.

You can read the history of the owners of Chobham Park House here and of the manor here

The Project

The Chobham Park project focuses on a gravel terrace on a tributary of the Mill Bourne in Chobham.

It forms part of an archaeological research programme exploring the region making up the valleys of the Bourne and Windle streams. This research programme is directed by Phil Stevens and David Stokes.

Simplified map of the modern site. Chobham Park house with its formal gardens can be seen in the centre. The house is on a raised platform. The Ram brook flows nearby to the east.
