<strong>Houses</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lackham</strong> 2 nd ed 7<br />
Norman remains were found. It may be that the original Saxon and Norman<br />
manor house might be located some 200 meters south, close to the Ponds<br />
that are east <strong>of</strong> the Back Drive and Home Farm. This remains to be seen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> house located in 2001 is almost certainly that which is shown in<br />
seventeenth and eighteenth century records<br />
Illustrations <strong>of</strong> the house.<br />
Of the few illustrations <strong>of</strong> the old house the earliest is dated 1684.<br />
<strong>The</strong> original is found in Dingley‟s History from Marble, which is held in the<br />
Bodleian Library. <strong>The</strong> Camden Society produced a facsimile in 1869, which is<br />
faithful to the original 11 . Fig. 1 is not the original, however, but a<br />
reproduction by the author <strong>of</strong> a sketch by <strong>Ed</strong>ward Kite 12 .<br />
11 A copy <strong>of</strong> this edition was kindly made available to me in the Library <strong>of</strong> the Society <strong>of</strong><br />
Antiquaries in London. My sincere thanks to the Society for allowing me access<br />
