Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations were recently undertaken on two riverside sites along the north side of Mortlake High Street, in an area where the sixteenth-century mathematician Dr John Dee once resided, and where Flemish weavers produced works for Charles I in the seventeenth century at the Mortlake tapestry works. A succession of late medieval and post-medieval buildings was discovered on plots between the river Thames and Mortlake High Street, in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. Two pits, a ditch and a structure, represented by stakeholes and postholes, pre-dated the late medieval buildings. The excavations revealed a complex sequence of floor surfaces and wall footings of houses, outbuildings and drains that once stood here. The earliest masonry structure may have been used as a fifteenth-century bakery or kitchen at the rear of a commercial property. Documentary research focusing on two seventeenth-century surveys has linked the changing ownership of properties with the development of the Mortlake tapestry works and the probable location of Dr John Dee's house. The changes in the architecture and plot layouts of the excavated buildings between the late medieval and post-medieval periods reflect urban building trends and show Mortlake increasingly becoming part of the City of London's trading hinterland.
