Basing Grange, Old Basing and Lychpit, Hampshire: Chemical Analysis of Excavated Window Glass

Author(s): David Dungworth

The analysis of window glass fragments recovered during archaeological excavations on the site of Basing Grange provides information on the chemical composition of glass produced in 1677, when the house was built, and its destruction c1750. All but one fragment of the Basing Grange window glass are high-lime low-alkali glass and most of these share virtually the same composition and so are likely to represent the composition of the glass originally installed in 1677–78.
