Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Goodrich House, Worcester, Worcestershire (NGR SO 85187 55201). It was undertaken on behalf of Lett and Sweetland Architects, whose client intends to construct six apartments on the site for which a planning application has been submitted. The site lies to the rear of the historic suburb of Lowesmoor. It was previously the yard for Holy Trinity School for girls which was built in 1834 and closed in 1938, the buildings becoming the Heenan and Froude Social Club. Two trenches were opened, each roughly 10m long. Beneath the 0.5m of overburden associated with the construction of the car park were levelling layers laid down from the 1930s. These sealed a sunken barrel pit, a posthole and quarrying activity. The barrel pit was filled with various glass bottles, a watering can and pottery. This was indicative of late 19th and early 20th Century domestic activity and the use of the site as a school. This feature was associated with the school yard, whilst the backfilling probably represented the demise of the school in the first half of the 20th century. The posthole was similarly dated. The quarry activity represented low level gravel extraction to the rear of the historic Lowesmoor burgage plots, and the backfill contained consistently dated pottery, suggesting that infilling took place sometime in the late 17th/ early 18th century. A remnant subsoil was identified, truncated and sealed by the post-medieval activity. No further evidence of archaeological activity was discovered, supporting the conjecture that the area had been undeveloped agricultural land for most of its history.
