A few years ago, in sinking a cellar in an old house in
Church-street, great quantities of fragments of Roman earthenware
were thrown out, urns, paterae, &c. many of them finely glazed,
and elegantly marked with emblematic figures. Also some copper
coins were found, and an entire lamp, with a turned-up perforated
handle to hang it by, the nozzle of which was black from use. At
the depth of two yards were likewise discovered a great number of
human bones, with burned ashes, a wall of great thickness, and a
well filled with rubbish of the same kind, probably leading to a
vault were (sic) other human remains were deposited; but the
curious must for ever regret that no further search was made into
its use and contents.
