Abstract:		 The results of an excavation of soils within a modern planter, located immediately west of the north door of the north aisle at St Marys Priory Church. The excavation of the planter soils was necessary to allow for measures to be taken against rising damp. The modern planter is located in an area previously excavated in 2008, undertaken in advance of the construction for the current visitor centre and improved access (APS Report 137/08, 2009). The soil block defined by the planter was believed to have been left in place against the medieval masonry wall adjacent to an area with several excavated inhumations. The Historic Environment Service and Historic England requested that the soils of the planter be excavated as part of a targeted programme of archaeological work (HES Ref: CNF46960) to be undertaken as part of a Scheduled Monument Consent. The reduction of soils within the planter to sterile natural clay-sand identified evidence for up to 8 individual burials of probable medieval date, of which all but one were child burials. The majority of these appeared to be poorly preserved neonatal burials, with one infant estimated to be between 1 to 1.5 years of age. The single adult was female and post-dated the 1 year old's inhumation. Concurrent remedial work by Brick and Flint Solutions and Conservation Solutions on the west window discovered that much of the original tracery may survive behind the 19th century brick blocking. This is generally believed to be the earliest example of bar tracery extant in Britain, erected during a building programme of 1225 to 1244.
