Programme of community test-pitting directed by A Sassin and D Graham of SyAS. Nineteen 1m test pits were excavated at Farnham Park, High Park Road, Farnham Library, the Museum of Farnham, the Old Vicarage, Bishop’s Meadow, the Memorial Hall and the West Street allotments. All were generally outside the known medieval core of the town so little of that date was found other than some residual 12th/13th century pottery at the library and Memorial Hall along West Street, attesting to the ribbon development westward during that period. Most finds were of post-medieval and Victorian date, although a small number of prehistoric worked flints were found above the natural riverine sand at the West Street allotments, an area of known Mesolithic activity. A chalk wall footing was revealed at Farnham Park and possibly Georgian and Tudor floors relating to ancillary buildings at the castle and museum respectively. (Bulletin 448)
