Abstract: |
In October 2016 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording at The Priory, Priory Road, Blythburgh, Suffolk IP19 9LR (NGR TM 451 753; Figs.1 - 2). The monitoring was required to comply with a condition of listed building consent/planning approval attached to planning approval for the construction of new underfloor heating (Suffolk Coastal Council Ref. DC/16/3611/DRC, DC/16/2201/LBC), based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). The Priory is a Grade II listed building with a 17th century core and later 19th and 20th century additions (LB 1377199). The chapel has been incorporated as an annexe on the western side of the building. It is believed to be a later reconstruction of a medieval chapel, though the listing notes that the west and north walls appear original. The site lies within the medieval and post-medieval core of Blythburgh (HER BLB 025). It is adjacent to the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the Augustinian Blythburgh Priory, founded around 1125 and dissolved in 1537 (HER BLB 001; NHL Ref. 1005962). The HER records the discovery of a grave containing human remains during works for an extension to the northern side of the Priory building (HER BLB 070), indicating there may be part of a cemetery within this part of the site. The monitoring revealed the footings of the chapel walls (M1001, M1010, and M1012) and a small rectangular masonry structure (M1007) in the centre of the chapel that may have been used to house charnel remains. |
