Abstract: |
A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust at Section 21 of the town wall, to the rear of 1 Middleborough, Colchester in August 2017. Trenching carried out on the site in 1987 showed that the wall has lost 1m of its width above ground. The current septaria and tile facing on the north elevation was probably added in the 14th century, during extensive renovation works carried out on the wall, and the rebuilding of nearby North Gate. Until recently (at least 1938) the wall had structures built up against its northern elevation, and evidence of this still exists in the form of sections of modern brickwork. Now it is exposed, the section of wall has begun to decay at an increasing rate, and conservation work is required to preserve it. |
