Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology has been commissioned by Amey, on behalf of Severn Trent Water, to conduct an archaeological watching brief during the renewal of a water main along Church Walk, Ludlow. The scheme was located within the boundaries of the medieval settlement of Ludlow, defined by the remains of the town walls (now designated as scheduled monuments) originally built in the 13th century. The archaeological watching brief confirmed that the original extent of the church yard of St Laurence's extended further south into the present Church Walk. A total of 13 in situ burials were identified extending for the full length of the 75 m pipe trench. An area of sandstone paving was identified within Trench 1 to the south of the south entrance to St Laurence's. It is possible that this represents an earlier paved area in front of the entranceway but the narrow dimensions of the trench make it difficult to confirm the exact nature and extent of this feature. |
