Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for The Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia during groundworks associated with the construction of a structure linking the church of Our Lady of the Annunciation in King's Lynn with the adjacent house thus providing a new entrance. Although the groundworks monitored during the watching brief were limited in extent, features recorded and the artefacts recovered appear to prove the existence of the earlier (1845) catholic chapel designed by Pugin. A possible brick foundation of this chapel was found close to the street frontage, while finds produced by the upper layer disturbed by the new foundations give a solid, mid 19th-century date. Located stratigraphically beneath these layers were clean silts originating from mud flats and a possible watercourse or drainage feature full of peaty silt, at the eastern end of the site. |
