NHER 1235 (Monument record) - Post medieval occupation at Vicarage Lane, Hillington Square

1965. Excavation of two trenches on estimated site of All Saints' Vicarage.
The excavation showed that although the site had been intensively occupied throughout the post-medieval period, there was no evidence for early medieval occupation.
Pottery of late medieval character including Siegburg and Lagerwehe stoneware was discovered in the earliest level of occupation.
Post-medieval pottery included Late Grimston ware including cooking pots, bowls, storage jars ((S1) fig. 104, nos. 3, 8, 12, fig. 105 nos. 17, 18, 19, 24, 26), Staffordshire-type drinking vessels (fig. 119 nos. 221) other black-glazed mugs (fig. 119, 241) and other local wares (fig. 121 nos. 271, 276) and tin-glazed earthenware (fig. 124, no. 301).
Undisturbed silt was reached at 9.4 feet OD when the site was also heavily waterlogged.

E. Rose (NAU) told by [1] 3 March 1978 that building discovered running north to south was only an outbuilding and not the rectory that ran east to west; said that a photograph in Lynn Library proves this. Building was mid 15th century, blown down mid 19th century. A skeleton of a woman was found walled up in it.

1965. Excavation.
Excavation by Helen Parker on this site produced remains of a brick-built warehouse, which was on a well-preserved foundation-raft. The foundation-raft consisted of horizontal timbers and vertical wooden piles. Pottery that was associated with this site was no earlier than the 14th century. There is no evidence for earlier occupation on the site.
