Abstract: |
Excavations in the choir of the church revealed fragmentary medieval flint and mortar choir stall footings and the remains of a 14th-15th century tiled floor, the tiles of which were of Flemish type. The tiled floor remains consisted largely of mortar impressions which suggested two phases of tiling, but a few tiles remained in situ and also occurred loose in Victorian building rubble. Those in situ were of small size, but fragments of larger tiles also occurred in the rubble. Small quantities of medieval window glass were also recovered. Later alterations to the area, including the brick footings for an 18th century crypt tomb and evidence for the raising of the floor during Victorian renovations, were also recorded. [Au(adp)] |
