Abstract:
Pride Hill was part of medieval Shrewsbury's commercial core and urban fringe, its street frontages lined with shops since the early-thirteenth century. The most valuable properties were on the street's north-west side, and archaeological, architectural, geographical and historical perspectives illuminate this area's development from the early medieval period to around 1600. Excavation and a watching brief examined an area of around 100m2 behind standing buildings on Pride Hill, and the town wall. Excavated artefacts included pottery, floor and roof tiles, and mortars. The Bennett's Hall site plots and boundaries and other properties along Pride Hill are discussed in detail. The origins and morphology of the plot patterns on the north side of Pride Hill are then investigated, followed by a discussion of the plots and their buildings in the later Middle Ages, and finally the dissolution of the medieval landscape.
