St John's Street, Coventry. A Programme of Archaeological Investigations

This report provides a detailed assessment of the results of excavation, salvage recording and watching brief undertaken at the site of a former car park located between St Johns Street and Much Park Street, Coventry (NGR SP 33687866), in 2008. The results have demonstrated that this represents one of the most important medieval sites to have been excavated in Coventry and is of national significance.Full analysis and research would undoubtedly and would provide evidence relating to the development of the City and its place and status within England in the medieval period. The results from the combined historic, cartographic, archaeological and artefactual resources can be used to provide an extensive and detailed picture of Coventrys medieval plots and the activities contained within, including the structures and backplots. The successive lack of major development on the site had preserved an area of medieval Coventry which in other more developed towns and cities would otherwise have been lost.
