Monument record TQ 76 NW 66 - Site of Newark/St. Mary's Hospital, Strood

Summary

The 13th century plan of Newark Hospital, was recovered during excavations for the Kent Archaeological Society and the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works in 1967. Also referred to as St. Mary's Hospital, the excavation located the walls of the hall and chapel of the hospice. Documentary evidence suggests that the excavation was limited and there is the potential for survival of other buildings. Burials probably occured inside the precinct, human remains already discovered may be related to this (see TQ 76 NW 262). Romano-British domestic deposits were also discovered during excavation.
