Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological watching brief at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, High Pavement, Nottingham (National Grid Reference SK 57670 39656). The work was carried out in June 2017 by Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) on behalf of MSM in response to proposals to improve the below ground drainage and maintenance access to the Chapter House. The Church of St. Mary Magdalene is located within the historic core of Nottingham City Centre and the Lace Market Conservation Area. The current Church of St. Mary the Virgin is a Grade I listed building (LB1270726) and was constructed between the late 14th to late 15th centuries in the perpendicular style using red, buff and pale brown Carboniferous Sandstone. Groundwork on the tower during the 1840s revealed evidence of the 12th century church fabric reused in the foundations. The groundwork comprised the excavation of a small north-south aligned trench which extended approximately 3m from the north wall of the Chapter House. The trench measured a maximum of 0.45m in width and 0.52m in depth. No analysis could be made of the foundations of the north wall of the Chapter House due to its truncation by modern drainage. Beneath the modern path (0001) grave-earth (0002) was encountered truncated by a single grave [0003]. The shallow nature of the grave at 0.5m, taking into consideration some truncation during the construction of the Chapter House in 1890, suggests that it is likely to be 17th century or earlier in date with much deeper burials being the norm in the 18th-19th centuries. The survival of the grave cut within the grave-earth indicates that it was one of the later burials in the immediate vicinity, undisturbed by any later burials. It is probable that further shallow unmarked burials are present below the path and close to the Chapter House walls.
