'Northeton - a praty uplandyshe towne': Building Recording, Excavation and Documentary Research in King's Norton, Birmingham, 2005-2007 (BAR British)

This report describes the results of an archaeological programme at Kings Norton. It also incorporates documentary research concentrating on tenurial history, the history of repairs, historic images and the wider village landscape. The work was largely associated with the restoration of two buildings adjacent to the parish churchyard in the centre of the former village, both of which contain substantial 15th-century timber-framed elements. The finds included a large assemblage of pottery from the earlier and later medieval periods, as well as a number of Roman sherds. Several medieval clay roof tiles were represented, and there was a small collection of glazed floor tiles.
