Abstract: |
The footprint of the original 13th century Sacristy has been recorded along with some associated detail within and adjacent to the structure, including a cross-wall and possible burials. Responses born of a medieval sunken chamber, post-medieval structures and 19th century investigations have also been found. Broad zones of reflections seem most likely to be evidence of the post-Sacristy row of buildings which ran along the north side of the Nave from the 17th century whilst, further north, a number of potential stone casket burials have been identified. The hexagonal Watch House, depicted in an 18th century plan has not bee found. The definition of many of the archaeological elements has been denuded slightly by subsequent phases of utility installation. |
