Synopsis of the Archaeology of the Sandwell Priory and Holy Well
APPENDIX 4 SELECT COMMITTEE ON HERITAGE AND CULTURE SYNOPSIS OF ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SANDWELL PRIORY AND HOLY WELL Comments of Planning Archaeologist This paper represents the undertaking and finding of work carried out during the past thirty years at the above site. The site of Sandwell Priory, Sandwell Hall and the Holy Well lie 2km east of West Bromwich town centre, in a public open space known as Sandwell Valley Country Park. The first known archaeological excavations occurred on the site in 1958, with the aim of re-erecting large sections of the ruins. There are no records of this excavation with the exception of a newspaper account of the work. The major excavation work on the priory site was initiated by the Technical and Development Services Department of Sandwell MBC in August 1982 as an adjunct to the restoration of the nearby Sandwell Park Farm, with the aim of enhancing knowledge of the historic development of the Sandwell Valley. The archaeological excavations were ended in August 1988 and masonry exposed as a result of the work was subsequently consolidated for permanent display. The assemblage of artefacts that were collected as a result of the excavation has been stored within the cellarage of Wednesbury Museum with the exception of those used for display at Sandwell Park Farm. The excavations were undertaken as part of the Sandwell Valley Archaeological Project initially directed by Dr M A Hodder 1982 – 1987 and later by Mr G C Jones 1987 – 1988. Dr Hodder went on to become the first Borough Archaeologist for Sandwell. The excavation was financed by the Manpower Services Commission, and sponsored by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. -

The osteological evidence. By Mary Lewis, University of Reading1 ABSTRACT WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE A TEENAGER IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND? Despite the fact that medieval society often singled young apprentices and workers out for comment, their study has been largely neglected in medieval archaeology. The skeletal remains of 4940 adolescents (6.6-25 years) from 151 sites in medieval England was compiled from a combination of primary data collection and secondary data from published and unpublished skeletal reports and on-line databases. The aim was to explore whether apprentices could be identified in the archaeological record and if so, at what age they started work and what impact occupation had on their health. -

We have all been disappointed not to hear the excellent cast of speakers lined up for us, or to be able to participate in our usual programme of field visits. We have however been able to publish our Transactions as normal, and to continue with the publication of our Newsletters, in addition to which numerous online ‘extras’ have hopefully mitigated some of the disappointment felt at the disruption to our activities. Unfortunately, I have to inform you that this disruption is set to continue. -
