Abstract: |
Witnesham, St Mary's Church, Church Lane (WTN 033, TM 1800 5090) monitoring of ground works during a major re-ordering at the church to create an enclosed meeting space, kitchen and toilet revealed flint and mortar foundations for an earlier church structure in external services trenches at the west end of the standing church which is dated to the earlier 13th century. A small length of earlier flint and mortar foundation was also revealed on the north-eastern corner of the 19th century vestry. Works within the church were limited to a very shallow floor level reduction at the west end which remained in material of recent date and no burials were disturbed outside the church. It was also confirmed that the font base was of Post medieval date as it was removed to allow a smaller base to be constructed. In addition a small number of later Saxon and medieval pottery sherds were recovered from the upcast spoil of the external trenches. |
