Abstract: |
A watching brief found several structures in the north aisle that was built c 1699, including a stepped red brick footing for a colonnade, which may have been the foundation for the original north wall of the church. Adjoining fragmentary brick footings and a truncated foundation possibly represented the remains of a north porch. Exposed masonry of the present north wall mainly comprised random courses of red brick, but also included large blocks of Reigate stone, and was probably built c 1699. Later structures include a row of brick pier bases for the north gallery built in 1864 and removed in 1904, a burial vault capped with stone slabs, part of a possible brick-lined grave, three fragmentary unidentified structures and part of the Edwardian underfloor heating system. Two lead coffins were also found. In the south aisle there were several brick burial vaults, and another lead coffin. There was also a row of brick bases, that probably supported the south gallery built in 1864-66 and removed 1904, as well as more of the Edwardian underfloor heating system. In the nave, there was a brick burial vault and another brick structure of unknown function, several brick plinths are probably for the west gallery. Two coffins had nameplates for Miss Hester Hubbald (d 1779) and Dame Mary Pechell (d 1800). There was also rubble foundations used for the Tudor tower built c 1487. Work outside the stair tower found the original face of the Tudor tower and the later knapped flint exterior. A possible earlier doorway infilled with 17th century brick was cut through by the current external doorway. The original access to the stair turret was from inside the tower and is now blocked. |
