Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in April 2013 at St Saviour's Church, Dartmouth, Devon. The church is grade I listed and was dedicated in 1372 as a chapel at ease. The construction of the church had started earlier in the 14th century, although the building was substantially enlarged during the late 14th-15th century. The church was heavily refurbished between 1633-37 by the town corporation, with further renovations and additions carried out in the late 19th century. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the large scale re-plastering and installation of new lighting. The observations and recording at St Saviour's church have provided important and new information about the structural development of the building. The works have shown that the western end of the chancel was rebuilt at the same time as the eastern end of the nave and transepts, possible in the late 15th century. |
