Abstract: |
This report describes the reuslts of historic town-plan analysis and archaeological evaluation of the Open Markets and its surrounding area in Birmingham City Centre. Analysis of the historic maps suggests that the boundary of St. Martins Church land has contracted from where 18th-century properties originally fronted onto the market place and Corn Cheaping, back to the grassed limit of the churchyard itself. Archaeological evaluation of the site, by trial-trenching, demonstrated that the only surviving feature of the site''s medieval role was a well which had been cut into the sandstone ridge and which was located close to the present-day boundary of the churchyard. |
