Abstract: |
The desktop study revealed that Orchard Street was developed on land that formed part of the orchard of the medieval St Mark's Hospital founded c.1220. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 the hospital's estates were surrendered to the Crown and subsequently came under control of the Common Council of Bristol. In the mid 13th century a drain was constructed from the hospital to the banks of the River Frome and it is possible that the line of this drain passed on or near to the site. The building survey revealed at least eight different phases of construction, the earliest phase being in 1722 and the latest in 1915. [Au(abr)] |
