Description: | An early medieval settlement with remains of a minster, cathedral and bishop's palace. The cathedral was incorporated into a fortified manor house in the late 14th century. Excavations have revealed five phases of occupation. Phase I, circa 650-850, revealed ditches and two buildings interpreted as a cathedral community. During Phase II, circa 850-1000, the ditches were infilled and large halls were built around a courtyard, interpreted as a bishop's palace. In Phase III, circa 1000-1050, the palace was abandoned and the cemetery was expanded. Phase IV, circa 1050-1125: two buildings date from this period and the site was then abandoned. Phase V has a large number of clay pits. The monument is scheduled and listed Grade I. | Subjects: | Bishops Palace Defence Ditch Industrial Religious Ritual And Funerary Building Courtyard Domestic Settlement Fortified Manor House Timber Framed Building Moat Cathedral Cemetery Gardens Parks And Urban Spaces Water Supply And Drainage Clay Pit | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
