HER 3807 - Nonsuch Palace Privy Gardens: possible fountain
A storm on the night of 15-16 October 1987 blew down a tree near to the centre of the former palace privy garden. The corner of a brick wall was lifted in the roots, which appeared to relate to the palace privy gardens. One arm of the brick work, of which about 0.85m was lifted, would have run approximately north from the corner, whilst the other arm, of which about 1.5m was lifted, ran roughly east. The walls were made of honeycomb brickwork in which a layer of stretchers alternated with a course of headers, with a gap left in place of alternate headers. The feature may be a drain beneath the former Privy Garden central fountain which is known about from documents.
