Abstract: |
Enhancement works and the Installation of new drainage at St Philips and St James Church, Ilfracombe required the excavation of a service trench and soakaway (Trench 1 and 2 respectively). The finds from this site mostly comprise of post-medieval and modern pottery, with one sherd of medieval handmade coarseware possibly from North Devon from Trench 2. The post-medieval pottery found was mostly North Devon Gravel Tempered and North Devon Plain Slipware. There were also three sherds of C18th Bristol/Staffordshire ware from Trench 1. Post-medieval Imports were also recovered including examples from Portugal, Holland and Germany. This post-medieval pottery collection from the site is one of the few assemblages known from Ilfracombe and the presence of high class imports at the town is important to note. |
