Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based appraisal and walkover survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at St Andrews Yard, Willeys Avenue, Exeter, Devon. The site comprises a triangle of land, now known as St Andrews Yard, located south of Willeys Avenue. A Mission Church was constructed here in the early 20th century, with a probable church hall added by 1932. The church was destroyed by bombing during World War II, though internal fittings appear to have been moved to the church hall, allowing it to be used as a replacement church. During the latter half of the century the function changed, becoming a store and latterly a car dealership with a tarmac yard area. No trace of the church survives, but the surviving building does contain a range of period fixtures and fittings. There is no indication of any associated burial ground. The archaeological significance of the site is likely to rest on any buried palaeo-channels that might exist, and any associated palaeo-environmental deposits. |
