Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire: Report on Geophysical Survey, November 2014
Author(s): Andy Payne, Neil Linford
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over two separate areas of approximately 1.3ha at Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedfordshire. The survey was undertaken to determine evidence for the presence of any significant buried remains in these areas, prompted by a request to erect ground tethered event marquees. Possible building remains were detected in the area immediately north of the Evergreen Garden, and appear to survive beneath the modern gravel Broadwalk path, although few significant anomalies were found over the lawn to the south. Interpretation of the results collected in the vicinity of Le Petit Trianon were complicated by the presence of modern planting and the recent removal of modern buildings from this area.
