Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Norfolk County Council to carry out an archaeological excavation of human remains found during groundworks associated with the installation of a plinth for a broadband DSLAM box at 4 Church Street, Wymondham, Norfolk (TG 10864 01559) on 15 June 2015. The excavated site was adjacent to a medieval former chapel-Becket's Chapel-in Wymondham town centre and was believed to lie within the chapel's burial ground. Human bone had previously been found around the chapel and medieval and post-medieval pottery in the grounds of 4 Church Street. The ensuing archaeological work revealed a foundation, made of re-used medieval limestone blocks and soft red bricks, for the west wall of the extant c. 17th-century building to the east. It is thought possible that the limestone blocks may have originated from a building adjacent to Becket's Chapel or perhaps from Wymondham Abbey after the Reformation. The foundation sealed two graves aligned east-west. The human remains exposed in one grave were of a 12-year old with evidence of an infected facial injury causing death. No objects were found to assist in dating the interment, but it is noted that Becket's Chapel was in use from the late 12th to the mid-16th century. The second grave was excavated to 0.80m depth, but did not expose any skeletal remains.
