In October 2000, archaeologists excavating a sewerage shaft at the corner of Chesterton Lane and Magdalene Street discovered a collection of 13th- and 14th-century coins. Lying in the remains of a disintegrated wooden box, on the site of what was once a house, the hoard totalled 1,805 silver pennies and nine gold coins.[3]
