Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and excavation was undertaken, by ULAS, on behalf of Hallam Land Management, at the site of Mill Farm, Lutterworth, the former site of the medieval hospital of St. John the Baptist. Previous evaluations had identified the site of the old mill, a cemetery and some undated cobble surfaces. The 2001 evaluation and excavation targeted the main areas of proposed development, which had not yet been explored by the previous evaluations - around Mill Farm House itself and to the south-east within an area of concrete, and areas of known archaeological potential which had previously been evaluated, incorporating a medieval cemetery, cobbled surfaces and the old mill site. The excavations revealed a substantial medieval cemetery and cobble structures possibly associated with either the 13th-16th century hospital or the 17th-century mansion house, both of which are known historically to have occupied this site. |
