Description
{1} Trial trenches on the Fetter Street frontage established that timber structures of probable twelfth-century date did survive and that there was the potential for recovery of complete tenement plans. Similarly, along the St John's Street frontage evidence for a timber structure of medieval date was recovered and here it had been replaced by a stone-founded structure in the late medieval period. Again there was the potential for recovery of complete tenement plans.
