Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological work was undertaken, November 2016 - April 2017. This included a ground penetrating radar survey over the courtyard which identified numerous anomalies indicative of buried services and possible former layouts of the area; a standing building survey and a historic archive assessment which identified a surprising amount of detail on the maintenance of the hospital. The research highlighted how much the exterior of the hospital has changed across time and demonstrated that both stone and wood were recycled across the hospital properties. Two test pits were hand excavated in the basement and one side of an existing brick-lined pit was exposed by the removal of the bricks. The excavations demonstrated that no earlier surfaces survive beneath the modern floor. |
