Abstract: |
The Church of St John the Baptist, Adel, Leeds, is 12th-century in origin and Grade I Listed, set in Adel St John's Conservation Area. Following a quinquennial inspection at the church, a programme of repair and maintenance work was scheduled, which included the excavation of a new 600mm wide drainage channel around the outer perimeter of the vestry. An archaeological watching brief was completed on all groundworks associated with the disturbance of earth associated with the drainage works. The watching brief identified a coal chute and the stone foundations of the 1830s vestry. A drainage system was also identified, slightly later in date than the 1830s vestry, likely to be mid- to late 19th century in date. No earlier finds or features associated with the original medieval construction of the church were identified. |
