Abstract: |
In May 2007, Carried out a DBA ot nos. 2 to 22 Northgate St., Warwick. The work was commissioned in advance of redevelopment and conversion. A search was made of all readily available published and unpublished documentary records. The assessment revealed a site with a rich history in a town with evidence of settlement dating back to the Neolithic. The study area is located along an important medieval street dating back to 1086, which was on the main route between Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle. The great fire of 1692 saw the destruction of the medieval dwellings on the site, which were replaced by high status 'fireproof' townhouses. In the 19th and 20th centuries these townhouses were converted for the administration of the Warwickshire militia, Warwickshire County Council, and the County Eduacation Department. Recommendations were made for future archaeological work. |
