Abstract:		 The watching brief was undertaken to monitor works associated with the proposed installation of new heating pipes running from the Boiler House, located under the Clergy Vestry, through a series of under floor ducts dispersed throughout the Minster. A series of significant structural and archaeological features were identifed and recorded during the watching brief including possible remains of a Saxon doorway beneath the north-east pier of the crossing/tower. The watching brief also identified architectural fragments, possibly of the Norman Church, reused as foundation of the North Chapel/Organ Chamber. Moreover, a possible column drum was recorded acting as part of the foundation of the south-east pier of the crossing/tower. Evidence of the external east wall of the 15th century Perpendicular North Chapel/Organ Chamber was identified within a brick blocking wall of the Boiler House, albeit with substantial truncation. Two reused fragments of post-medieval ledger stones were identified within the base of a heating duct which was built in the 1870s. Of note was an intact burial barrel vault which was incorporated into the construction of the ducts. This vault may date to the late 18th or early 19th century. An interesting stone wall was identified within the Chancel although its character and date was not ascertained. Nevertheless, the wall extends further east beyond the exposed duct and may have been standing up from a former lower ground level. Five disarticulated human bones were recovered from within the ducts which were recorded on site. All recorded bones have been retained by the Minster for future reburial. The presence of the disarticulated bones was due to previous disturbance, most likely during the 1870s restoration work.
