Abstract:		 In June 2008, the Worcestershire Historic Environment Service undertook a field evaluation in St Katherine's precinct in Ledbury (NGR SO 71045 37629), the site of a medieval hospital, and the proposed site of a new library. The fieldwork involved the excavation of a trench in the area of the proposed development. This was followed by analysis of the archive, and a limited amount of documentary research. The trench exposed significant remains of medieval date. The most significant discovery was a wall made of local stone rubble faced with lias. The wall suggests a substantial stone building on the same axis and scale as a 13th/14th century hall and chapel to the east. A few sherds of pottery were found in earlier and later contexts. These suggest that the building was built in the 13th century and demolished in the late 16th or 17th century. It certainly formed part of the medieval hospital of St Katherine, and may have been another hall or a range of private chambers. Other remains included a line of postholes that seem to indicate a timber scaffold. The medieval remains were buried beneath post-medieval and modern made ground.
