Abstract:		 . Archaeological recording was carried out in September 2017 at the Royal Grammar School, Worcester, during the erection of a theatre and performing arts centre extension. The works represented the second of two phases of construction, the first phase was associated with the insertion of ducting across parts of the school site. 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. The earliest map (Doharty. 1741) shows the layout of the pre-school landscape associated with the priory and the subsequent Tudor mansion. This shows that the Godfrey Brown Theatre and the new extension lie in an area to the east of the nunnery which functioned as orchards and cultivated plots within former boundaries marking the closed areas. This is supported by the results of the excavation which showed a stratigraphy characteristic of an open rural landscape with the evidence indicating periods of prolonged cultivation and manuring.
