Notes about this historic site

1 Excavations were undertaken in 1956 on a school development with the intention of revealing the remains of a Medieval chantry (PRN 11). Instead the excavations revealed an 18th century or 19th century house with a cellar. A cellar wall with plaster and a flight of steps were uncovered. In addition a human skeleton was found, although its exact relationship to the building was uncertain.
2 Archival material relating to the site before the part excavation took place.
