Title Human Remains Found at Adelaide Street, Stamford
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2018

Abstract/Summary

Report on the finding of human remains, discovered during groundworks for the construction of a replacement extension to the rear of 4 Adelaide Street, Stamford. The inhumation was inspected by staff from Lincolnshire County Council's Historic Places team (Ian Marshman), and was believed to be medieval in date. The skeleton was contained within an east to west aligned grave cut, with the arms tight against the body, suggesting it had been wrapped in a burial shroud. It was thought very likely to be associated with the former Dominican Friary (Blackfriars), known to have extended across this area of Stamford.
