Full Description
March 1987. Excavations of footings for a house at a plot in centre of town behind churchyard and Griffin Inn.
Apparently formerly the rectory stable court and said to have once been a bowling green.
Excavations revealed 1m of soft black soil containing early 19th century transfer printed sherds and bottle glass above natural sandy gravel. No trace of medieval occupation.
J. Wymer (NAU) 18 March 1987.
Later information was that up to 2.4m (8ft) of black soil was encountered containing 19th century material; when a garage was built on other side of boundary wall the same is said to have been encountered. Suggested infilled pit.
J. Wymer (NAU) 30 March 1987.
