Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of a car park at the former Royal Worcester Porcelain Works, located off King Street in the Sidbury part of Worcester city. It was commissioned by Cathy Patrick of CgMs Consulting Ltd acting on behalf of Berkeley Homes (the Client) who intend to develop this part of the Royal Worcester Porcelain site for residential use, for which planning application is in preparation. The proposed development site is positioned just outside the projected limits of the Roman town and within the historic core of the medieval city, defined by the city wall. As such, the site was considered to contain heritage assets and potential heritage assets. Four trenches of varying size were excavated across the car park. In addition to a general intention of establishing the existence of archaeological remains across the site, the trenches were specifically positioned in order to assess the extent and survival of previously identified archaeological features, such as the city wall and St Peter's church. Archaeological remains, although variable in their level of significance, were revealed across most of the site and the trenching demonstrated that complex structural deposits of medieval and later date are present. The most extensive of these were two phases of building remains from St Peter's church. Based on observations of the walls seen in the evaluation trenches, it is possible to suggest that the foundations and ground plan of an earlier medieval church will survive within the footprint of the Victorian structure. Numerous inhumations in a surviving cemetery layer were also encountered in close proximity to the church building. Part of the medieval city wall was exposed in the northern area of the site. This was abutted by a later 18th century cellar with associated structural features including a brick surface which lay immediately beneath the car park.
