The works comprised the refurbishment and damp remediation to the basement of Linton House involving: new cavity drainage system to internal and external walls; new underfloor drainage system including new slab, drainage membrane, insulation and screed; minor internal alterations to create an additional WC and new cleaner's cupboard; new decorations and floor finishes; new heating and lighting; additional fire escape to existing library room comprising new egress window and external steel ladder and gate positioned within an existing lightwell. Archaeological monitoring was carried out during all groundworks which had the potential to disturb below ground archaeological features or deposits which may have survived the construction of the basement. This included general ground reduction, excavation of the drainage trenches and the excavation of two pits for the installation of pumps. In August 2021, Oxford Archaeology undertook a watching brief on remodeling works in the Basement of Linton House, St Peters College, New Inn Hall Street, Oxford in respect of planning reference 20/03022/LBC. The watching brief revealed a series of probable pits dating from between 11th and 14th centuries. The pits are likely to have been located in the rear plots of tenements fronting onto New Inn Hall Street (formerly Little Bailey).
