Product Description
The Vyne in Hampshire was built in the early 16th century by William, 1st Lord Sandys, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain. Much of the house has survived, but parts of the enormous structure have disappeared over the centuries. In 1996, therefore, the National Trust undertook a major survey of the house, gardens and park, including archaeological excavation. The fascinating results are written up here to show, not only how The Vyne functioned as a courtier's house, but also how it relates to the findings at Hampton Court Palace, and other Tudor great houses. For students of archaeology, and the general reader, the book will inform about the modern techniques and processes of the archaeology of standing buildings, how discoveries are made and interpreted, what other documents and artefacts are brought to bear on the work, and what issues are raied for future presentation and conservation.
