Abstract: |
Halesworth, Town Farmhouse, Loam Pit Lane (HWT 042, TM 39322 77961) monitoring of ground works for a link extension, new cartlodge and the re-location and re-construction of a historic barn revealed pits of later 19th and earlier 20th century date at the site of what was formerly the town pest house or isolation hospital in the 19th century. While the potential presence of burials associated with the pest house was a possibility examination of the Holton tithe map revealed that the Halesworth Churchwardens and Overseers who ran it also owned the land to the south which became the town cemetery in the mid to late 19th century. Therefore fatalities from the pest house were almost certainly buried in this area. |
