Summary:Most archaeological fieldwork has been suspended during the lockdown, potentially giving some the chance to catch up on backlogs, though there is a strong likelihood that many will be redeployed to do other jobs over the coming weeks, depending on how the crisis unfolds. In the meantime this report covers some of the work which has happened in Worcester over the past six months. Some investigation has now started in Worcester's car parks, with a ground-penetrating radar survey of Copenhagen Street car park. Archaeological work continues at several of Worcester's city centre churches, with the current focus being on St Swithun's, where the Churches Conservation Trust have embarked on a major lottery-funded programme of repair and refurbishment, and All Saints. Meanwhile, Tudor House Museum in Friar Street has recently received a lottery grant to repair the elaborate first-floor plaster ceiling.
