Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken in 2010 at St Oswald's Church Crowle during reordering works, including a new kitchen in the north aisle and toilets in the tower. The font was moved to the end of the nave and the Crowle Stone was moved to a position next to the south door. Excavation was not required except in the tower and a small area in the south-west corner of the nave. Elsewhere the exposed surfaces beneath the removed pew platforms were swept clean and recorded. Excavation of a service trench across the churchyard was also monitored and four 19th century brick vaulted graves were recorded. Evidence for the nave north wall foundations was found beneath the north arcade. The north wall of the medieval north aisle was also discovered showing that before its demolition in 1792 the aisle had been only 2.40m wide internally. Three 19th century brick vaults cut through the foundations of this wall. Excavations in the tower revealed the original external chamfered plinth of the nave west wall and its return through the door, which is an original opening pre-dating the construction of the tower. The original threshold had been removed by the installation of heating pipes in 1915. Nine different types of floor tiles of three different sizes, had been used to support the pew platforms, mainly of Flemish type, indicating that there had been several phases of tiled flooring in the church in the 14-17th centuries. |
