1 An archaeological evaluation at High Street involving background research and trial trenching found no evidence of surviving Medieval remains, although the site was a 'burgage plot' in the centre of the Medieval town. The earliest artefact recovered was a sherd of 17th century pottery. A trench on the street frontage found only a 19th century wall, while others to the rear found 19th century century cellars and 19th/20th century garden soils.

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.
