Abstract: |
In August 2005 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out a historic building investigation of St. Denis Church, East Hatley, Cambridgeshire as part of the restoration project partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The church, which has been redundant since 1980 had been heavily restored by William Butterfield in 1873 and the focus of the investigation was the analysis of his work. There was sufficient documentary evidence to allow a detailed understanding of the pre-1873 church and the requirements of the restoration project. The archaeological investigation revealed that the restoration was more extensive than originally envisaged, with the nave roof being completely rebuilt rather than repaired and the chancel windows not being replaced. Comparative analysis with similar buildings also suggests that the 1st Quinquennial report of 1961 may have been unduly dismissive of the church, as it conformed to his more restrained interpretation of the ethos of the mid-Victorian High Church Movement. |
