| Abstract: |
Excavations established the presence of an early-second-century Roman building, which is interpreted as part of a baths building. In the fifth century the building was levelled and a timber mausoleum built in which was a group of three burials. Two of the graves were emptied of their occupants and the head of the third was removed; the mausoleum was destroyed by fire. A sequence of buildings on the site thereafter, preserving the alignment of the mausoleum, is interpreted as a series of churches, culminating in the medieval church of St Mary de Lode. The documentary evidence is examined and research suggesting that St Mary's was a British church is cited. Finds were of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval date. Includes: |
