Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted by NAU Archaeology in March 2010 for Reeve Property Restoration at St Stephen's Church during the demolition and reconstruction of a 13m length of retaining wall to the east of the church. The wall had a flint rubble core likely to be of post-medieval date. Repairs and maintenance over time meant little of this core had survived, most of the wall's fabric at the time of demolition consisting of red brick and cobbles. Documentary evidence suggests that the line of this wall defines a long-standing boundary of perhaps at least late 13th-century date; primary sources indicate that buildings of 15th- or 16th-century date occupied the eastern frontage of Malthouse Road until their destruction during the Second World War. |
