Building record 1379900000 - St Laurence Room, Market Square, Winslow

Early 20th century Parish Hall, easily visible from the Market Square. The building is brick, with clay tile roof, and is an unusual example of early 20th century utilitarian design, with a steeply pitched, parapet gable, brick mullioned windows and decorative gate piers and wrought iron gate. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Winslow. (B1).
In April 2010 Archaeological Services & Consultancy carried out an excavation in advance of a new extension. The excavation uncovered a number of archaeological features that included articulated Christian human burials dating from the late-Saxon to the post-medieval period, and a number of medieval and post-medieval linear ditches, gullies and pits. The excavation has identified a number of phases that can be linked to Anglo-Saxon and later activity on the site of St Laurence's Church, the alteration of the churchyard boundary and land being divided up into medieval burgage plots (B2).
