Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during underpinning and drainage works to a church which was a Grade II Listed Building. The church had been constructed in 1764 and restored in 1875, and had replaced two earlier churches, dating from the 16th century and from 1700, the locations of which were unknown. The present building had been downgraded to a cemetery chapel in 1926, and had more recently suffered from disuse and vandalism. During the watching brief, the foundation courses of the c. 1764-1839 secondary vestry were revealed within the underpinning trenches. The drainage trenches indicated that most of the area to the east of the church consisted of made-up ground. The base of the church foundations was not reached, but a single stone four courses down may have represented part of an earlier structure. Finds were exclusively of 19th and 20th century date, and included parts of one or more cast iron grave kerbs with finials, of which one example had survived in the churchyard, and other memorial fragments, ceramics, and glass floral tribute receptacles. These artefacts were not retained. [Au(abr)]
