Abstract:
Occupation of the site began in the Late Anglo-Saxon period (c. 850-1066), as shown by several large pits and an inhumation that was probably from the same period. Residual human bone in nearby features suggests that the burial was part of a small cemetery. During the 12th-13th century clay-and-timber buildings were constructed in the southern part of the site. These were perpendicular to Key Street, suggesting that it might have had earlier origins than has been supposed previously. In the late medieval period two cellared, masonry buildings were constructed on the Key Street frontage. One of them, known from the early 17th century as the Gun Inn, was a substantial structure measuring 18.5m long x 7m wide, with walls up to 0.60m thick. The other building was smaller and is assumed to have been a merchant's house. During the post-medieval period the Key Street frontage was developed intensively, while areas to the rear were retained as yards and gardens where quarries, cesspits and wells were dug. Many of these features dated from the Tudor period and produced significant finds assemblages that include imported Dutch pottery and building materials; these support documentary evidence for a significant Dutch presence in Ipswich from at least the 15th century. The 'merchant's house' survived until the early 20th century. The Gun Inn was rebuilt in the late 19th century as the Gun public house, which survived (as the Gun Café) until the 1980s when Cranfield's Mill redeveloped the entire site as a lorry park.
