Knole Park, near Sevenoaks, Kent
James Wright of Triskele Heritage has a long-running relationship with the National Trust at Knole. Initially, this began as a result of leading historic building survey for MOLA during the extensive conservation programme between 2012 and 2016 for which he was a member of the team which won Best Archaeological Project at the British Archaeological Awards. Subsequently, Triskele Heritage have taught workshops on buildings archaeology for the Knole house stewards and have been been involved in further research on the estate…
North Range Cellars
A commission from the National Trust to record the cellars between the North Range of Stone Court. This area of the house dates to the mid-fifteenth century and is home to highly significant wall-paintings relating to the ownership of the property by Archbishop Thomas Bourchier. Fieldwork will be ongoing throughout the autumn of 2021 and is taking place as a result of conservation work to the space.
Ice House Interpretation Project
The National Trust commissioned Triskele Heritage to produce a report on the archival sources relating to the post-mediaeval ice house within the deer park of the Knole estate. The work took place during the summer of 2021 and our report will inform a new scheme of interpretation and presentation of the monument.
Conservation Management Plan
Building on several seasons of buildings archaeology, this piece of landscape survey was commissioned by MOLA as part of a new conservation management plan for the National Trust. The late mediaeval house at Knole, Kent, sits within almost 1,000 acres of deer park which has been intensively used throughout several millenia. The Triskele Heritage project served as a ground-truthing exercise to confirm or deny observations made during remote topographic survey.
