Abstract: |
Between November 2010 and January 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of continuous archaeological monitoring and recording at All Saints Church, Horsford, Norfolk (TG 1968 1539). The monitoring was commissioned by Philip Pank and Partners on behalf of the Parochial Church Council, and was undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of an extension and internal bathroom facilities. It was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission (Broadland DC Ref. 20091623). The church was heavily restored in 1869 and much of it is Victorian in character (NHER 7795), however it contains several 12th to 13th century features. The west tower was begun in the 1440s and the chancel is in an Early English style. The first monitoring visit observed minor ground reduction and a service trench for the proposed bathroom facilities inside the tower. Three burials were present, two of which remained undisturbed by the development. The third was located in the service trench and contained a shallow articulated human burial. Subsequent visits were carried out during the excavation of service trenches within the graveyard. The trenches extended from the north aisle, around the tower and south along the line of the path to Church Street. Forty inhumations were recorded and the exposed elements lifted during the monitoring. |
