Abstract: |
In February 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation at Oldchurch Hospital, Romford (NGR TQ 5090 8801). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a new residential development of the site. The evaluation comprised Phase 5 of the project. The site is situated in close proximity to the medieval core of Romford. Prehistoric and Roman finds have also been found in vicinity. The site is the location of the 19th century Union Workhouse converted to a hospital, and now demolished. It is possible that a cemetery related to the Workhouse mortuary, and/or the chapel believed to have existed nearby, is located within the site. In the event the evaluation revealed only the remains of a late 19th/early 20th century foundation wall. The site was characterised by significant modern disturbance. No indication of the possible cemetery was found. |
