Abstract:		 An archaeological and historical assessment was carried out and comprised a review of existing data on the Somerset County Council Historic Environment online database and maps held at Somerset Record Office. In addition, a site walkover was carried out. The site covered an area of approximately 0.5 hectares, the land-use comprising the now redundant Taunton Technical College and associated buildings. The Taunton St. James Tithe map and a plan of Taunton by John Wood, both dating to 1840, show the site as crossing two land parcels each containing buildings. Some of these structures had been removed by 1887, while two others were still standing and were statutorily protected as Listed buildings. The technical college structure was likely to have been built originally as a local authority school in the early 20th century and was a good example of an Edwardian Baroque style building. In the southern portion of the site, one of the standing historic buildings was recorded in 1975 as containing four painted glass roundels reputedly by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones.
