The research group from the University of Newkal and the University of Exterpathies conducted new research and repeatedly analyzed past excavations in Boshme, Western Sassedex. This village appears twice on a tapestry from Bayo - a medieval embroidery depicting events that preceded the Norman invasion.

In one stage, Harold feasts in the Great Hall before leaving for France. Later he returns to Bosh in front of the battle at Gastings, where he met his end. The exact location of his estate remains uncertain, but fresh archaeological data convincingly indicate that it is under a modern private house.

To trace the history of the estate, researchers used geophysical research, historical maps and finds from the excavations of 2006 conducted by the Archaeological Service of the Western Sussex. These efforts were discovered by two previously unknown medieval buildings - one built into the existing house, and the other in the garden.

The key opening was the excavations of 2006, which found the restroom in a large wooden building. Private restrooms were a characteristic sign of elite residences, starting from the 10th century, which enhances the likelihood that this building was the residence of Harold. The estate also included the church, which stands today.

Dr. Duncan Wright, senior teacher of medieval archeology at the University of Newkal, said: "

Professor Oliver Kreuton from the University of Exterpathies added: “The Norman conquest changed the English aristocracy, which left behind a little physical evidence, which makes the finds in Boshem incredibly important - we identified the Anglo -Saxon House of High Status”.

This discovery is part of the project " Financed by the Council for Research in the Flood and Humanities, the project aims to overestimate the archaeological significance of these historical objects.
