Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken within the churchyard of St. Mary's Church, Bishops Nympton, North Devon, Devon, during groundworks associated with the installation of waste and water pipes. This work was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on behalf of Rev. Alastair Forman, Bishops Nympton Church (the Client). The monitoring was carried out by S. Walls between the 5th and 8h February 2018. This work was undertaken in accordance with a Project Design (SWARCH no. BNM18PDv1) and CIfA best practice. The parish church of St. Mary's is located to the south-west of the village centre on the summit of a spur to the north of the Crooked Oak Stream at a height of approximately 151m AOD. The soils of the area are the well-drained fine loamy and fine silty soils of the Denbigh 1 Association (SSEW 1983), which overlie the sandstones, bordering on mudstones and siltstones, of the Bude Formation (BGS 2016). The church is Grade I Listed; and is noted for its stately west tower. The church was subject to several phases of 19th century extension and restoration but retains 15th-16th century elements. |
