Site of medieval and post-medieval buildings, 16 High Street, Tollesbury (EHER 48099)

Excavation in 2011 recorded the remains of a 12th-14th century timber framed building along the High Street frontage and a 17th-18th century replacement - presumably that demolished to make way for the 20th century Hope Inn (EHER 48090).

October 2011. Archaeological excavation. Excavation of the car park to the west of the Hope Inn (EHER 48090), revealed the remains of medieval and post-medieval buildings. These took the form of compacted clay floors and evidence of a timber-framed building along the High Street frontage. Finds associated with these contexts date the building to the 12th to 14th centuries. This structure was subsequently replaced in the 17th to 18th centuries by two post-medieval buildings, which survived until their demolition in the mid 20th century. <1>
