Archaeologists have unearthed a medieval kitchen and a range of other artefacts ahead of building works at a Bury St Edmunds school.
Suffolk Archaeology excavated the kitchen at Guildhall Feoffment Primary, in Bridewell Lane, in preparation for an extension at the school which is taking on extra pupils.
Fragments of medieval peg roofing tiles from the 13th to 15th centuries have been discovered - demonstrating that the building at one time had a tiled roof.
Many other artefacts have also been uncovered including a piece of the rim of a large 600-year-old jar which may have held water, wine or been used for cooking.
