Archaeologists keeping an eyey on the building of the new church hall in Tavistock Vicarage gardens did not find any medieval remains. But they did come across some rather interesting glassware.
The discovery was made on a Victorian rubbish tip found on the corner of the building site. Managed to salvage about two dozen whole items. They included Victorian medicine bottles, jars and pots. One was an old Bovril jar and another was a very pretty fluted bottle. Several dozen fragments of broken pottery were also collected.
Also discovered cobbled floors of the former stables and a 150 year old drain shaft.
