Ankerwycke Ruins 2023

3D Model

This model was captured following conservation work undertaken by Cliveden Conservation and National Trust as part of the Heritage Lottery funded Runnymede Explored Project.

The chalk walls retain evidence of use during the Medieval Nunnery phase from 1160 and then the later Tudor Mansion built in 1550. The structure became a picturesque ruin from 1805.

Conservation work saw the removal of past interventions using hard mortars that were accelerating the deterioration of the historic chalk fabric and soft capping to reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations and water ingress.

During conservation works a trench was excavated at base of ruins which you can explore virtually here: https://skfb.ly/oJMDG
