Abstract: |
Three small trial trenches were opened within the present church nave and crossing, both of which date from the 1860's when the medieval church was largely rebuilt. The work was carried out prior to re-ordering of the church interior. Trench 1 exposed mortared stone footings belonging to the south wall of the former medieval church chancel. Trench 2 located a grave dating from the 18th or 19th century and part of another linear feature of similar date, possibly a second grave. Trench 3 investigated the uppermost levels of a graveyard soil in an area lying inside the present church, but outside the former medieval church, a little to the south of the medieval chancel. The graveyard soil contained numerous bones from disturbed infant burials, as well as one articulated skeleton of an infant aged 1-2 years. |
