Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Thomas Ford Architects on behalf of the Heritage of London Trust to carry out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks at the ruined Royal Garrison Church of St George, Woolwich, Royal Borough of Greenwich, centred at OS NGR TQ 43346 78286. The Heritage of London Trust is an historic building preservation group. The ruined church is Grade II Listed. It was built in 1863 to the designs of T H Wyatt. It was bombed in World War II and is now roofless and fragmentary. The archaeological watching brief was carried out as a condition of planning consent for the installation of an independent roof structure over the remains. The watching brief was carried out in 2014 and 2015. A 13th/14th century tile-built kiln was recorded. The kiln, as well as a nearby pit and another tile-built structure all contained fragments of green-glazed London-type ware pottery in both its decorated and undecorated forms. By inference it is likely that the kiln was one of the few known centres for the production for this type of pottery making it a discovery of local importance. A church room was added to the north of the church in 1902 and 1903. Remains of walls found during the watching brief were from this building and an extension to it. Other walls found to the south of the church were the remains of a flight of stairs up to the south doorway of the church. |
