Abstract: |
Six trial pits were excavated between 31st May and 1st June 2017 in advance of proposed redevelopments to both the Adrian Boult Music Centre and Ashburnham House, Westminster School, Westminster. Two trial pits were excavated at the exterior of the south wall while the remaining four pits were inside the building. Trial pits 2, 3 and 4 were largely negative. However in Test Pit 1 an earlier, stone-built foundation was recorded that lay underneath the modern concrete footings to the contemporary building. Pit 6 and especially Pit 5 were of importance as the latter was against the south face of the north wall of the Great Kitchen built in the 12th century. Pit 6 revealed the walls' foundation along with a brick floor in both pits that dated to the 16th century, and was contemporary with the disuse of the kitchen at the Dissolution. |
