Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation and historic building appraisal were undertaken by AC archaeology in January 2013 on land at the former Bluecoat School site, White's Lane, Great Torrington, Devon (NGR SX 8104 5981). The work was undertaken in support of a forthcoming planning application for the redevelopment of the site. The evaluation entailed the excavation of three trenches totalling 39.8m in length, with each trench 2m wide. Buried soil layers were exposed within all trenches and produced pottery dating from the medieval period through to the 19th century. Exposed features include a probable burgage boundary ditch, a pit, and the foundations of a school outbuilding. No preschool building remains were found. The building appraisal established that the surviving buildings are the remains of a 1870s Board School of some architectural merit and interest. The original schoolrooms and classrooms are well preserved, but restricted to the northern and southern parts of the complex, the central part having been entirely rebuilt following a fire in 1968.
