Warsop Old Hall has been reputed to be the most important medieval house in Nottinghamshire...
Warsop Old Hall known locally as ‘The Tudor Barn’, has been awarded a fantastic grant by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Mercian Archaeological Services CIC are proud to be delivering an exciting archaeological research project as part of this grant.
We will be working alongside some great partners to deliver an amazing community archaeology project which will:
- Record and interpret the Old Hall via photogrammetric survey and measured building survey,
- search for any buried remains of foundations of possible former wings of the Hall -
by using a whole suite of geophysical techniques, - and search for the origins of the settlement of Warsop via field walking, and test-
pit excavation.
Project Partners:
The project has been designed to answer key research questions and to enable volunteers to experience all aspects of an archaeological investigation

Settlement development research:
The project is also designed to research the origins of Warsop village itself, as part of Mercian’s ongoing Sherwood Forest Archaeology Project.
The working theory is that Church Warsop near the Old Hall is likely to be the oldest part of the settlement.
In September 2020 and in May 2021, Mercian have already found Saxon pottery in the vicinity of the Old Hall, and in the Church Yard, which points towards a Saxon age origin for the settlement … exciting times ahead…
