Abstract: |
A programme of historic building inspection and recording was undertaken at Holy Trinity Church, Barrow Upon Soar, a Grade II* listed building, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 29th September 2011. The work was carried out on behalf of Holy Trinity PCC in advance of the proposed construction of a single-storey extension to the north side of the church, including the insertion of two new openings through walls into the north aisle and the north transept. Work entailed the careful removal of plaster from walls in the two affected areas to assess whether any pre-Reformation wall paintings survived. The results of the inspection revealed that inside the church, the walls in both areas had been extensively rebuilt relatively recently. In both the north aisle and the north transept the walls were faced with modern brick and concrete render which most likely dated to the documented 1868-70 restoration of the church. It was clear that no pre-Reformation plaster survived in the areas of impact and it was unlikely that the development would cause significant damage to original medieval fabric. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Service under accession number X.A70.2011. |
