The Forty Hall Estate have uploaded a series of pdfs describing the work we've done since 2014 investigating a service range belonging to Henry VIII's Elsyng Palace, containing what we now think was the palace "boiling house".

You can read about the work on the Forty Hall website or directly below:

2014 Excavation Report

First exposure of the southern facade wall, the double 'moats' and the first garderobe.

We'll be back in Forty Hall in July to (hopefully) finish our exploration of this building range.
