Abstract: |
Excavation in advance of paving works on land between the Lady Chapel and the Presbytery at Ely Cathedral. The work uncovered four in situ burials, a large brick-built foundation, and a brick and tile drainage system. The results reflect the changing usage of the site from a medieval lay cemetery to land reserved for drainage and almost completely enclosed by the post-medieval 'Freretar's Checker' to the east. This was demolished soon after the Dissolution. A more substantial drainage system was installed in the 17th century but fell out of use by the 19th century. |
