Abstract: |
On 27th July 2012 Oxford Archaeology (OA) was comissioned by Ian Angus of Garden and Godfrey Architects to undertake a test pit excavation at St Dunstan's Church, Cranford Park, Middlesex, as past of proposed building alterations. The work was undertaken in order to meet the requirements of the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor. The scope of the work was established following discussions with Geoffrey Hunter, Head of Care of Churches, and Robert Whytehead (in his capacity as Diocesan Archaeological Advisor for London). All work was carried out in accordance with local and national planning policies (specifically NPPF Section 12 and local policies) and with the Written Scheme of Investigation (OA 2012). In June and July 2013 Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook an archaeological investigation and historic building recording. The investigation observed deep deposits of churchyard soil together with associated grave cuts. These had been sealed below spreads of construction debris probably originating from the rebuilding of the nave in 1716, the 19th century restoration and the construction of the old vestry in the early 20th century. Evidence for the occupation of the nearby Manor house in the form of domestic debris dating between the 13th and 17th centuries was recovered together with a piece of worked flint suggesting prehistoric activity in the area. The recording work was limited in nature and focused on the north wall of the West Tower after the demolition of an adjoining mid 20th-century vestry but before the construction of a new extension. |
