This comprehensive and well-illustrated archaeological report … is an important contribution to the archaeological evidence for medieval urban centres in the NorthWest … The report is well-illustrated with colour photographs and plans of the excavation, as well as maps and antiquarian drawings. The 1991 excavation is reconsidered and new archaeological data from the 2007 excavation is analysed for the first time, creating a compelling, integrated interpretation of the archaeological remains as part of Preston’s medieval Franciscan friary.
