Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out by Oakford Archaeology in the churchyard of St Michael's, Alphington, Devon, between January and May 2014. The work comprised the monitoring of construction works associated with a new annex, church path and internal gallery. Groundworks exposed the remains of three undated graves inside the church, and a further five undated graves and a single, possibly 13th-14th century, grave in the area immediately to the south and west of the church tower and south aisle. Monitoring of the demolition of the 19th century boiler house foundations recovered two architectural fragments associated with an earlier phase of windows at the church of St Michael's. The groundworks also exposed the relationship between the tower and the earlier south aisle. In addition a number of 18th-19th century gravestones were recorded prior to being moved. |
