Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring during the installation of a floodlight at the east end of Great Yarmouth Minster, Church Plain, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk The medieval minster church of St Nicholas of Yarmouth is a Grade II* listed building, with Grade II listed railings and several Grade II listed groups of tombstones. The church was founded as a Benedictine priory church in 1119 and exhibits work from Norman through to modern periods, having seen a major programme of restoration following bomb and fire damage during WWII. Over a metre of graveyard deposits were removed from areas of the graveyard in the late 19th century, raising the potential for early skeletal remains to be disturbed. During the monitoring work numerous fragmentary human bones were collected, all of which were all reburied within the cable trench at a deeper depth. A gravestone was uncovered at the location of the lamppost setting, which may have been relocated/buried as a result of landscaping works associated with the 1883 ground reduction around the church walls. A relatively small quantity of finds collected from the cemetery soils and make-up deposits indicate that minor levels of domestic refuse of uncertain date have become incorporated into the deposits here. The presence of medieval brick and tiles suggests relatively high status structures making use of glazed tile roofing in the vicinity of the site, the most obvious source being that of the former Benedictine Priory.
