Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was invited by the Parochial Church Council to carry out archaeological observation and recording of improvement and drainage works at All Saints'' Church, Sutton, Bedfordshire. The archaeological observation of the improvement works at All Saints'' Church identified a number of features indicative of the development of the building. Inside, the remnants of a rubble wall stretching between the tower archway are likely to be the remains of the west wall of the nave which would have been demolished during construction of the tower in the 15th century. The external works revealed a deposit of brick and tile rubble adjacent to the northern wall footings of the tower. This material may represent attempts to support or reinforce the foundations of the tower and it, along with other apparent brick patching of the footings, are possibly evidence of repairs to the tower known to have taken place in the 17th century. Similarly, the isolated inscriptions found within the tower may also be associated with this significant episode of building works. |
