P0245 Judges' Lodging, 9 Lendal

Title: P0245 Judges' Lodging, 9 Lendal
Alternative Title: 1994.3211 YORYM Judges' Lodging Hotel
Description: Excavations revealed three distinct episodes in the medieval period. These were, firstly, some structural activity in the form of construction/demolition debris, secondly, the use of the site as a graveyard (11th /12th century), and thirdly, its subsequent disturbance (14th century). The burials were within the cemetery of the Church of St Wilfrid which was closed in the 16th century and were found less than 0.50m beneath the surface of the patio to the rear of the hotel.

A subsequent period of levelling was identified as 16th/17th century in date and may relate to the first disuse of the churchyard, followed by its use as a garden area.
