Abstract: |
In response to a request from the architects to Oakley Parochial Church Council, the Heritage Network undertook the archaeological recording of 14 funerary monuments (gravestones) and the monitoring of the groundworks relating to the repositioning of these monuments. St Mary''s Church, was constructed in the 12th century and is recorded as a Grade I listed building (LBN 37043). The recorded gravestones were situated within the south-west of the churchyard and were positioned in pairs. All were made from granite and the majority of them were considerably weather worn. The only legible dates were the year 1785 recorded on Gravestone 3, and the year 1723 recorded on Gravestone 6. |
