Site Event/Activity record ECH5784 - Excavations to the rear of 140 Hospital Street, Nantwich in 1976 (D.Wilson)

Excavations carried out in 1976 by David Wilson, on behalf of Cheshire County Council, to the rear of the 140 Hospital Street to investigate the site of the medieval Hospital of St Nicholas (CHER 179/5). The stratification had been damaged by the lowering of the garden level which had removed the post medieval layers and cut into the medieval; this would not have destroyed any structural evidence should the hospital have been sited there. A considerable amount of medieval pottery was found, both green-glazed and unglazed.
