Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Historic building survey and limited excavation of the Former St Mary's Vicarage in the Newarke, Leicester in respect of proposals to repair and convert the building into a music practice studio by De Montfort University. This is a grade II listed stone building of probable late 14th century date, though subsequently much altered. It may have been built to accommodate the dean or one of the canons of the College of the Annunciation of St. Mary. The college was dissolved in 1547 and little is known of the later history of the building until it became the vicarage to the Church of St. Mary de Castro in the late 17th century, hence the appellation. In the mid 19th century major refurbishment was undertaken and the building may have been raised in height from two to three storeys at this time; certainly the façade was refaced in stone and the present doorway and windows on the east (front) elevation are attributable to this period. The building functioned as St. Mary's vicarage until about 1920 and then housed the junior class of Wyggeston Girl's school for a time. Roberts and Sons who occupied the adjacent Portland Shoe Works (now De Montfort University's Portland Building) acquired the former vicarage in 1934. In 1947 the upper two storeys were removed and a makeshift roof added over the vestigial lower storey. Various other alterations were made around this time when the building was used as a leather store. De Montfort University acquired the building in 1991 and it has been used most recently as a bicycle store.
