Excavation of a red brick cup-and-dome icehouse, below a mound at the north-east end of a long canal in the grounds of the convent, by the NAS [now EEHAS]. Only modern finds were recovered, but the design of the icehouse appears to be of early 18th century date. The icehouse formerly lay within The Elms estate, which was visited and described by Celia Fiennes during her travels in Surrey between 1708 and 1712. (291)
