Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge. An Archaeological Dektop Assessment.

Abstract

This archaeological desk top assessment was requested by Bidwells Ltd on behalf of Trinity College to assess the likely impact of the removal and replacement of the existing heating system within the Chapel. Evaluation of selected archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence shows the site to be located within an area of rich historical and architectural significance, dating from the 12th Century AD to the present date, including the present Grade I listed building, and on the site of an earlier chapel and adjacent to former Medieval residential properties. There exists a low possibility of artefacts and features pre-dating and contemporaneous to the current building being encountered during proposed installation works within the Chapel.
