Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Rescue excavations in 1971 on four sites fronting medieval streets in the north-east part of Bedford showed no positive evidence of structures before the late medieval period, though Saxo-Norman pottery was found. At 43 Mill Street, three or more buildings had occupied the site from the fifteenth century. Footings for a post-medieval cottage were found in the south of the former Litson's Timber Yard, sealed in the nineteenth century by the dumping of earth from the adjacent Bunyan Meeting House basement. Notable finds from 43 Mill Street included 14th century floor tiles with line figures, a fifteenth century knight-on-horseback roof finial which is discussed in relation to other finds of this type, an early medieval lamp bowl, and a group of fifteenth century pottery containing both local and non-local wares. | |||
