Abstract: |
The Birchmeadow Centre, Broseley, Shropshire is located on the site of a former 19th century Baptist chapel and burial ground. The centre buildings incorporate the remains of the former chapel. In 2010 renovation work was carried out on the centre. This work involved the excavation of a number of drainage trenches in the car park on the west side of the centre, the site of the former burial ground. In the course of this work human remains were found. An analysis and report on this initial find was carried out by Teresa Gilmore, Finds Recording Assistant-Headley Trust at the Shropshire Museum Service. A watching brief was carried out by the Archaeology Service on the remaining excavations for the new drains. The partial remains of four skeletons were revealed and lifted. One of these was the upper half of the original find. The top of the skull of a fifth burial was revealed in the base of the contractor's excavations, but was left in situ. |
