About Nonsuch Palace: The Material Culture of a Noble Restoration Household (Oxbow Monographs, 79)
Nonsuch in Surrey was Henry VIII’s last and most fantastic palace. Begun in 1538, at the start of the 30th year of Henry’s reign, the palace was intended as a triumphal celebration of the power and the grandeur of Henry VIII and the Tudor dynasty. The site was chosen for its fine countryside and hunting potential. Although the layout was fairly typical for a house of this period, arranged around two main courtyards, there its ‘ordinariness’ ends. The palace was ornately decorated with intricate Renaissance designs in carved and gilded slate and plasterwork, with two great octagonal towers, five storeys high at either end. The king wanted people to be astonished at his new palace, and to say that they had never seen such a fine palace before, hence its name – ‘Nonsuch.’ Excavations in 1959-60 uncovered a large amount of material from all periods, from occupation to demolition (1538-1684). The finds fall into two architectural and domestic. This volume, the second in the series, publishes the domestic finds, including a large amount of complete or reconstructible glass, ceramics (such as tin-glazed wares, stoneware and earthenware), coins and tokens, clay pipes, pewter vessels, objects of iron, bone, ivory and leather, and a wooden pocket sundial.Table of ContentsIntroductionGeneral introduction ( Martin Biddle )Methods of recording and study ( Martin Biddle )CuddingtonThe excavation of Cuddington ( Martin Biddle )The finds from Cuddington ( Jacqui Pearce et al )The Domestic Material from the Occupation of the Palace and Banqueting House in the Later Seventeenth CenturyThe groups of finds and their dating ( Martin Biddle )The analytical database ( Jane Webster )Tin-glazed ware ( Michael Archer )Stoneware ( Robin J C Hildyard )Fine vessel glass ( Robert J Charleston )Green glass bottles ( Marton Biddle and Jane Webster )Wine-bottle seals ( Martin Biddle )Coins, jettons and tokens ( Hugh Pagan and Robert H Thompson )Clay pipes ( D R Atkinson )Pewter vessels ( Rosemary Weinstein, with Roger Brownsword )Lead objects ( Geoff Egan )Window lead ( Geoff Egan )Copper-alloy objects ( Alison Goodall, with Catherine Mortimer )Iron objects ( Ian H Goodall )Spurs ( Blanche M A Ellis )Wooden pocket sundial ( Francis R Maddison and Penelope Gouk )Worked bone and ivory ( Arthur MacGregor )Leather ( J H Thornton )Miscellaneous objects ( Martin Biddle )Animal bone ( Alison Locker )Mollusca ( June Chatfield )The archaeology of a Berkeley household ( Martin Biddle )ConcordancesIndex
