Source Number  

1 Archaeological observations of the foundation trenches for a new public toilet block in Pageant Gardens, behind Jury Street, Warwick, in the centre of the Medieval town, recorded evidence for outbuildings and cellars of ?18th century date but not for any earlier period. Whilst it is possible that remains of Medieval occupation have been removed by later building activity, it is also possible that they survive on this site at a level deeper than that to which the foundation trenches were excavated.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
