Type and Period (2)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
Unmortared stone wall foundations were revealed in August 2001, during a watching brief at St Mary's School. Although this part of the roughly north-west to south-east aligned wall was unmortared, an adjacent robber trench contained a high proportion of mortar. This indicated that at least part of the wall was probably mortared. This has been tentatively identified as part of a walled passage, possibly the course of St Peter's Lane. Cutting through the robber trench a tile lined drain was recorded. Roughly constructed with reused ceramic roof tiles as a lining it has been dated to the 14th-17th centuries. {1}{2}
The remains of possible medieval wall foundations were recorded in 1993, during a watching brief to monitor new development at St Mary's School. The wall was aligned roughly north to south, and survived to only two courses high, lying approximately 1.4m below the modern ground surface. It was thought to be associated with previously identified remains of the east range of St Mary's School. No associated finds were recovered however, and no trace of St Peter's Lane could be identified. {3}{4}
