A geophysical survey undertaken by the University of Bradford Department of Archaeological Sciences in 2009 ( Bonnington House, Geophysical Survey Report s2137. (Unpublished DSR produced by the University of Bradford Department of Archaeological Sciences on behalf of CFA)indicated that the area to the east of the house where the new wings will be

constructed had been heavily landscaped in the past. The GPR data indicated the presence of paths, roadways and garden features, the majority of which occurred at a depth of 0-0.5m. There was no clear evidence of the wings depicted on Roy’s map, supporting the cartographic evidence that they lay further to the east than those currently proposed.
