2 Honiley Hall garden, Honiley Hall, Honiley, Warwick. Lovie reports that the original house was demoished in c. 1820. There is some evidence for the existence of 17th or 18th century gardens as shown by earthworks in fields adjoining the church. A new Arts and Crafts house was built to the south east in 1914 to the deigns of C. E. Bateman with contemporary formal gardens. Lovie adds that after being owned by Warwickshire County Council (c. 1960 - 1990) it is, at the time of Lovie's report (1996/7) a private house and appears well maintained.

Description  
technique Earthwork Earthworks can take the form of banks, ditches and mounds. They are usually created for a specific purpose. A bank, for example, might be the remains of a boundary between two or more fields. Some earthworks may be all that remains of a collapsed building, for example, the grassed-over remains of building foundations.

In the winter, when the sun is lower in the sky than during the other seasons, earthworks have larger shadows. From the air, archaeologists are able to see the patterns of the earthworks more easily. Earthworks can sometimes be confusing when viewed at ground level, but from above, the general plan is much clearer.

Archaeologists often carry out an aerial survey or an earthwork survey to help them understand the lumps and bumps they can see on the ground.
