The National Monuments Service's description
Shown on Speeds map of 1610. After the dissolution of the church and closure of the hospital the site continued in use as a graveyard until the 18th century. Excavations at the rear of Mercer's Hospital in 1992 yielded evidence for the presence of St. Stephens Church and graveyard and the medieval Leper Hospital that was situated on the site (Hayden 1992, 14-15). A cross-inscribed stone was found at the site (Harbison 1998, 175). Furtherexcavations in 1992showed that the graveyard occupied only the northern end of the site. Human burials of 13th to the 16th century date were recovered (Hayden 1993, 21; Buckley & Hayden 2002, 151-94)
