Abstract: |
A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust at Section 11 of Colchester's town wall, to the rear of 62 Priory Street (Priory Lodge) in August 2017. This section of wall contains one of the eight medieval bastions added to the south-east segment of the wall in the 14th century. This section also contains remains of medieval facing which was added to the wall at the same time. Since the medieval period the wall has been refaced and repaired multiple times. Until relatively recently the bastion had a structure on top of it, evidence for which is visible on photographs from 1923 and 1986. At the base of the wall some of the later facing has fallen away, revealing the mortar and septaria core. This section of wall, although in better condition than some others around the circuit, has begun to decay, and conservation work is required to preserve it. |
