Abstract: |
October 2006, Oxford Archaeology carried out a field evaluation and building assessment at The Music Hall, Shrewsbury. The evaluation revealed evidence for a mortar surface and two phases of an associated wall. The wall was constructed from Tudor bricks and red sandstone blocks, and may have been associated with the medieval hall. It is also possible that the wall was constructed from reclaimed material from the 19th century demolition of parts of the hall. The evaluation also revealed a slate lined pit, brick walls and a brick soak-away. These features were probably associated with the 19th century Music Hall. The building assessment exposed part of the southern wall of Vaughan''s Mansion, where it was constructed from rough hewn sandstone blocks. A timber beam was revealed within the wall fronting College Hill, and areas of the Music Hall''s 19th century brick walls were also seen. |
