Full Description
March 2024. Wendling Beck and Fransham Aerial Investigation and Mapping (AIM) Project.
Earthwork banks (since levelled) which most likely relate to probable parkland features or boundary banks associated with Lexham Hall (NHER 4089) and park (NHER 30469), are visible on aerial photographs (S1). The features are not visible on visualised lidar data (S2) from a survey flown in 2017 and have presumably been levelled. The features most likely date to the post medieval period. However, an earlier medial date for some of the features cannot be ruled out. The features are not visible on the readily accessible historic maps such as S3-S5
