  • An Excavation in the Inner Bailey of Shrewsbury Castle
    An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker January 2020 An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker BA PhD FSA MCIfA January 2020 A report to the Castle Studies Trust 1. Shrewsbury Castle: the inner bailey excavation in progress, July 2019. North to top. (Shropshire Council) Summary In May and July 2019 a two-phase archaeological investigation of the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle took place, supported by a grant from the Castle Studies Trust. A geophysical survey by Tiger Geo used resistivity and ground-penetrating radar to identify a hard surface under the north-west side of the inner bailey lawn and a number of features under the western rampart. A trench excavated across the lawn showed that the hard material was the flattened top of natural glacial deposits, the site having been levelled in the post-medieval period, possibly by Telford in the 1790s. The natural gravel was found to have been cut by a twelve-metre wide ditch around the base of the motte, together with pits and garden features. One pit was of late pre-Conquest date. 1 Introduction Shrewsbury Castle is situated on the isthmus, the neck, of the great loop of the river Severn containing the pre-Conquest borough of Shrewsbury, a situation akin to that of the castles at Durham and Bristol. It was in existence within three years of the Battle of Hastings and in 1069 withstood a siege mounted by local rebels against Norman rule under Edric ‘the Wild’ (Sylvaticus). It is one of the best-preserved Conquest-period shire-town earthwork castles in England, but is also one of the least well known, no excavation having previously taken place within the perimeter of the inner bailey.

Most organisations have a Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS). PALS are there to offer guidance and support and may be able to resolve any issues without the need for a formal complaint. In addition to this, service users can also seek advice or raise concerns with the organisation who buy local services. This may be the local Clinical Commissioning Group, the Local Authority or NHS England, depending on the service the query relates to. 1 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) CCGs are responsible for buying local health services (with exception of those services detailed in Primary Care below) Shropshire CCG Tel: 0800 032 0897 Email: [email protected] Telford and Wrekin CCG Tel: 01952 580407 Email: [email protected] Primary Care (GPs, Dentists, Ophthalmologists, Pharmacists & Local Prison Health) (GP’s, Dentists, Ophthalmologists, Pharmacists and local prison health).
