Archaeology. —An extension of the Electric Theatre in 
Fossgate was projected to the boundary wall in the lane 
behind. The lower part of the wall was formed of fragments 
of mediaeval masonry. One stone bore four shields, the two 
larger ones bearing respectively the arms of Neville and Skirlaw. 
Another stone was an angle bracket with the figure of an angel. 
Five others were parts of window mouldings. These were 
presented by the Directors. The stones evidently formed part 
of the building of the Carmelite monastery. There are other 
moulded stones in the wall but they were not removed.
