NH 7269 5660 Recording of upstanding features on the site of a derelict memorial garden in November 2003 revealed that the SW (front) wall of a cottage survived within the garden enclosure wall. A watching brief carried out during the demolition of the enclosure wall, and a series of small keyhole excavations after the demolition, showed that the cottage had been constructed c 1830-40, and demolished c 1881, prior to the construction of the Drill Hall, now St Boniface Chapel.
