| Abstract: |
<summary>An evaluation followed by rescue excavation was carried out on a site between Regent Street and Kingly Street. Remains of St Thomas' Church, also known from documentary sources as the Kingly Street Chapel or Archbishop Tenison's Chapel, a proprietary chapel of 1702 which later became a parish church, were found. Two sets of vaults were also identified: one was related to the chapel, the other dated from 1821-2 and was used as storage vaults by a local wine merchant. Evaluation and excavation undertaken between September and November 1992 revealed that the natural gravels were cut by a ditch, provisionally dated to the early Roman period. A post-medieval ploughsoil, containing material dating to no earlier than the 17th century, was cut by a contemporary ditch to the east of the site. The foundations of a tabernacle dating to 1688 and the cellar of an associated house to the rear were found. The foundations were truncated by the extensive brick foundations of Archbishop Tenison's Chapel, which replaced the tabernacle in 1702. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea}{italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} GLSMR082712 - 082718 |
