Abstract: |
Archaeological exhumation of a former Quaker burial ground on Coach Lane, North Shields, was undertaken April-September 2010 by PCA. The work was undertaken ahead of a residential development. The site was a burial ground for the Quakers between c. 1711 and the 1850s. A plan dated 1822 shows 32 graves or burial plots, mostly named. The work was undertaken in accordance with site-specific directions issued by the Ministry of Justice under the Disused Burial Grounds (Amendment) Act 1981. The entire area of the former burial ground was excavated, with a total of 245 individual graves recorded, 229 of which produced evidence for coffins. Six graves did not contain a skeleton, although three of these contained evidence for coffins. In addition to the in situ interments, an additional 24 charnel features were recorded and the minimum number of individuals represented by all disarticulated bone from the site was 100. 1.5 |
