Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken within the Main Court of St Catharine's College, Cambridge, during the installation of a new water main. Although the trench was limited in depth, a number of remains were nevertheless encountered. These primarily consisted of brick-built footings that were probably associated with the earliest iteration of St Catharine's Hall. Initially established in 1473, over the course of the succeeding two centuries the nascent college underwent a gradual, piecemeal process of expansion as a series of new courts were appended to the original foundation. Despite being situated in close proximity, the structural remains identified during the current project demonstrated a number of differing alignments, thereby underlining the relatively ad hoc process of the college's architectural development. Eventually, between 1673 and 1704, the earlier buildings were swept away and present-day Main Court constructed. |
