Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at the request of Tom Rogers (Rogers and Jones Architects) on behalf of Mr and Mrs Downing (the Client) during the construction of a 2 bedroom mews cottage off Garden Lane, rear of 21 West Street, Tavistock, West Devon, Devon. The monitoring work was carried out by E. Wapshott on 25th and 27th September 2017; the weather was fine and dry on the first day, then overcast and dry on the second. This work was undertaken in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2017) drawn up in consultation with Bill Horner of the Devon County Historic Environment Team (DCHET). The proposed development is located on West Street, just west of the parish church of St. Eustachius, the Tavistock United Reformed Church and the Cornish Arms public house. The Tavistock Conservation Area Appraisal describes West Street as 'mainly commercial in use closest to the town and contains a number of unlisted buildings which retain attractive historic shopfronts, making a positive contribution to the special interest of the conservation area'. The buildings are mostly 19th century, but there are a few C18th townhouses which have since been converted to shops. The Historic Landscape Characterisation notes this area as Historic Settlements. Archaeological monitoring in the adjacent property (Jones 2011) recovered a fragment of floor tile dating to c.1300 with a white slip and green glaze. Within 30m to the west of the site is the location of the Old British School, which was replaced in 1856 by the 7th Duke of Bedford (Devon HER Ref MDV104278).
