Abstract:		 The programme of archaeological observation undertaken to the rear of No 19 St Thomas Street, a house of mid 18th century date, revealed evidence of medieval and post-medieval deposits and structures. The earliest evidence of occupation identified was a chalk masonry passage and semicircular chamber that was revealed after the removal of the floorboards within the house, which appear to have predated construction of the existing mid to late 18th century house and were subsequently incorporated into the layout of the cellerage beneath the house. An early date for these features is indicated by the fact that the alignment bears no relationship to the layout of the cellerage and the nature of its construction and the materials used contrast markedly with the regularly coursed brickwork of the later structure. Documentary records indicate the existence of a tenement or dwelling house on the site of No 19 St Thomas Street in the early 14th century. This tenement was demolished in about 1369 and the site was subsequently converted into a garden. It is possible that the masonry passage and chamber area are of medieval date and could represent part of a larger undercroft beneath the medieval tenement known to have occupied the site during the early to mid 14th century. No further building activity is recorded on the site until the mid 18th century, when the present house was built, together with two ranges of outbuildings to the rear which are shown on Godson's plan of 1750. Further demolition activity and new building work took place between c.1790 and 1870 with the addition of an annexe to the rear of the house and the laying-out of landscaped gardens consisting of a raised parterre with extensive lawns to the S. The three trenches excavated to the rear of the house revealed evidence of a considerable accumulation of garden soils, which probably relates to the late 18th - 19th century landscaping activity indicated by the cartographic sources.
