Vachery Forge and Furnace, Cranleigh, Surrey, by Judie English, published 1999 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 19, article, pp.19-29, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 16400] & The Keep [LIB/506566]   Download PDF

Documentary and field evidence for the forge and furnace sites at Vachery, Cranleigh, have been described previously (Straker, 1941) but whilst the location of the forge site is uncontroversial, field evidence for the furnace site is scant and it is thought that it was destroyed, or at least flooded, by the creation of Vachery Pond as the summit water for the Wey and Arun Junction Canal in 1814. Evidence will be given here for either an alternative, or possibly a second, furnace site. The identity and background of some of the people associated primarily with the forge site will also be discussed.

Two possible medieval bloomery sites in Alfold, Surrey, by Judie English, published 2002 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 22, article, pp.5-9, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506569]   Download PDF

Fieldwork at two high status medieval settlement sites in the Weald of Surrey has produced bloomery tap slag. At Great Wildwood Golf Course the slag was found close to a moated site and in a context insecurely dated to the late 12th or early 13th century. At Monktonhook the slag was found during field walking on a site known to have been occupied from at least 1325 until the mid-20th century.

Analytical survey and landscape context of Saxonbury hillfort, Rotherfield, East Sussex, by David Lea and Judie English, published 2015 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 153, article, pp.29-40) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18934] & The Keep [LIB/509033] & S.A.S. library   View Online

The results of an analytical survey of Saxonbury hillfort are reported and include the presence of a probable prehistoric field system. A possible re-interpretation of earlier excavation results is offered, as is some consideration of the relationship with nearby iron production sites.
