Wesley Memorial Church New Inn Hall Street Oxford

In June 2010 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a single trench evaluation
against the south side of Oxford's city wall at the rear of the Wesley Memorial
Church, New Inn Street, Oxford. The work was commissioned by the Wesley
Memorial Church ahead of the construction of a new kitchen extension (Planning
Ref. 09/01947/FUL). The evaluation revealed a 17th-century garden soil and a
robber trench for the 13th-century city wall. The wall had been subject to at least
two repairs/alterations, one of which may have comprised the creation of a doorway.
The construction deposits were overlain by two thick soil horizons deposited prior to
the 19th-century redevelopment of the site.
