Abstract/Summary
In 1970 excavations for constructing the foundations of an agricultural building were begun in the crew-yard associated with Canons Ashby House. The yard concerned in part overlay the site of the monastic cloisters to the south of the former Augustinian priory church. Mechanical clearance of the area revealed quantities of rubble and broken tiles, part of a wall also being exposed. Building work was suspended to permit a brief excavation of the threatened area.
