Archaeological evaluation at the former Friends School, Mount Pleasant Road, Saffron Walden revealed three features, namely one tree-throw and two gullies. Finds from the gully date from the 19th to 20th century. Although tile fragments may suggest potentially earlier activity, it seems likely that these features are associated with the foundation of the school in the 1870s. <1>
