Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out during September 2017 and April 2018 at Worcester Royal Grammar School, Worcester during the insertion of ducting across parts of the school grounds. The works represented the first of two phases of construction, the second phase was associated with an extension to the Godfrey Brown Theatre. The Historic Environment Record (HER) showed the school to be situated on the site of the nunnery of the White Ladies of Aston. This was a Cistercian House dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, it was founded some time before 1255 and dissolved in 1536. All that remains of the Priory fabric are the end walls of the C13 chapel, these had been incorporated in the Tudor house which was built on the site. Trenching for the new ducting was mainly focused an area which currently slopes down from the north side of the chapel in what is now garden between the school buildings. The earliest map (Doharty,1741) shows this area was associated with orchards. The most significant discovery in this area was a probable medieval masonry wall which corresponded with the alignment of a boundary also depicted on the 1741 map. The fabric of the wall consisted of a red sandstone similar with the chapels remains incorporated in the gable ends of the existing school building. The position of the wall within the proximity of the former nunnery suggests that it marked the eastern edge of the close area around the priory.
