Abstract: |
Ground Penetrating Radar survey was conducted inside the church of St Thomas the Martyr, Bristol, Somerset with Ground Penetrating Radar (centred on NGR 359120,172765). The project was commissioned by the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in particular features relating to the previous church and any associated crypts. The site comprises the interior of St Thomas the Martyr Church, Bristol, with survey covering all accessible areas of the church with a total of 130 sq m surveyed with each radar antennae. The geophysical survey was undertaken during the 19-20th October 2015. The ground penetrating radar survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of responses of potential archaeological interest. The responses identified are primarily linear features associated with the church heating system, a potential grave in the central aisles and possible structural elements near the altar. Further high amplitude responses may relate to rubble/disturbance relating to the rebuilding and remodelling of the church in the 17h century. |
