Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of St Peter's, Parish Parochial Council at St Peter's Church, Powick, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO83445152; SMR ref WSM 34319). Phases of work undertaken to the Church floor were identified from 1841 and subsequent latter repairs. A possible 12th century wall foundation, at the southern extent of the watching brief was also observed but requires further research to clarify the date and nature of the deposit. A burial vault below the timber floor was identified and entered to investigate its structural stability and to identify any potential internments. The vault contained a single coffin dating to 1838 and containing the remains of Sarah France. Further investigation of the church revealed a stone memorial to the deceased and closer inspection of the under timber-floor area revealed the possibility of further crypts within the church. Masonry remains were also identified that may date to the initial construction of the church, however further work would be required clarify their date in relation to the church fabric. |
