Abstract: |
As an important example of a four-celled Norman church with possible Anglo-Saxon origins a watching brief took place to oversee various works including the excavation of foundation pads to support posts in the tower and the cutting of beam bearings in the tower walls. To the south of the church, in the courtyard, trenching was carried out for various services. Where possible these services were cut under existing pathways where the likelyhood of burials was lowered. A short length of foundation trench was also dug i order to convert the store by the south porch into a toilet. |
