Please read our .

Summary

Late 14th century pottery and fragments of Medieval ridge tile were recorded in trench 3 below the foundations of a north south section of sandstone wall, during archaeological evaluation of a lift shaft prior the conversion of Chronicle House in 2014. The wall was 2.1m long 0.3m wide and 0.8m high. Five courses of sandstone were surviving. During the dismantling of the wall a rim sherd from a Cistercian ware cup dating to the 15th/ 16th century was recovered from the clay bonding which suggests the wall dates to the 15th century or later
