Monitoring of the excavation of service trenches and other works was undertaken in the farmyard west of the main house over a number of periods in 2015. This revealed more 17th-century walls, the first building laid out in the farmyard in the late 1760s/early 1770s as well as a host of 18th- and 19th-century features, several of which were previously unknown.
