Medieval and Post-Medieval Development within Bristol’s Inner Suburbs
Author: Martin Watts (editor)
Results on four medieval and Post-medieval excavations within historic suburbs of Bristol.
All four sites reported on in this volume (55–60 St Thomas Street, Redcliffe; 26–28 St Thomas Street, Redcliffe; Harbourside, Bristol; Cabot House, Deanery Road, Bristol) were located within historic suburbs of Bristol. Two were in the planned 12th-century suburb of Redcliffe, south-east of the medieval city, and the other two were to the south-west, in the medieval district of Billeswick and in the vicinity of St Augustine’s Abbey (the church of which is now Bristol Cathedral). However, with the exception of a small part of the former abbey/Cathedral precinct uncovered at Harbourside, it is the lack of evidence for any substantial development at these sites throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods (up to the beginning of the 18th century) that provides a common theme.
