Abstract:		 Work undertaken in 2006-09 on a site in Maidstone by Museum of London Archaeology concentrated on those remains that could be identified as relating to the hospital of SS Peter, Paul and Thomas the Martyr. This was probably founded between 1244 and 1260 but disused by the end of the 14th century. Evaluation identified the masonry drain of the 13th century hospital, whilst the excavation phase focused on inhumation burials surviving in the north-western part of the site. A series of medieval ragstone walls representing a room of unknown function were also recorded. Detailed analysis of the hospital cemetery population demonstrated a high number of adult males, with women and children also represented. This was comparable to evidence recorded from previous hospital infirmary assemblages. The report includes an overview of documentary evidence relating to the site. LD
