The latest project by the Faversham Society Archaeological Research Group focuses on Preston Next Faversham, an ancient parish that is nowadays mostly merged into Faversham Town. In 2013 investigations took place at six locations along the line of Preston Street and the Mall, a north'“south line connecting central Faversham with Roman Watling Street and marking the western boundary of Preston Within. Although all six yielded substantial medieval material, this article concentrates on the largest excavation, in the garden of the Old Wine Vaults public house. Here, of the medieval pottery recovered, the later sherds were larger and fresh-edged, implying a transition on the site from agriculture to settlement in the late medieval period. This fits with what is known about the Old Wine Vaults building itself, thought to date from around 1450. A large crushing wheel that had been placed into a courtyard surface in about 1800 was also found. Faversham has had many industries that involved crushing, so the original use of the stone is currently unknown. The excavation attracted roughly one thousand visitors from the local community over the course of the week. LD | ||||||||||
