Ebook: The Medieval Cemetery of St Leonard's Leper Hospital at Midland Road, Peterborough

This publication relates to the excavation of a medieval and post-medieval cemetery at Midland Road, Peterborough. The excavation and initial post-excavation work were undertaken by Archaeology Services Durham University. The present publication report was prepared by staff of York Archaeological Trust and represents a full report relating to the cemetery together with a detailed analysis of the skeletal remains by A. Boyle. The cemetery was originally associated with the medieval leper hospital of St Leonards which was founded by 1125. This site is of national importance, as relatively few cemeteries relating to leper hospitals have been excavated.
