Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during works to replace the existing floor. Reduction of the floor levels in the nave and aisles revealed a silty levelling base which lay beneath the original floor. During the removal of rubble and cement, a few dispersed fragments of human charnel and coffin fittings were recovered. The flooring base was also found to comprise fragments of dressed stone, which may have been masonry discarded during the 19th century renovation of the church. In the south aisle two partly legible and truncated 18th century ledger stones were exposed beneath the pews. Immediately adjacent, a burial vault was temporarily opened to reveal a small chamber containing six lead-lined coffins in various stages of decay. No further disturbance was undertaken. The vault entrance was later refurbished and resealed. The ledger stones were found to overlie a shallow burial. This was recorded but not disturbed further. [Au(abr)] |
