Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were initially excavated in the interior of the church, one in the Nave and the other in the Chancel, in advance of works to install a new heating system. It was then decided to strip and plan the entire Nave to reduce the internal ground level to the depth of potential impact. In the Chancel multiple grave cuts were discovered below a very disturbed made ground. In the Nave, adjacent to the north wall, two very truncated pits were discovered with pottery dating them to be roughly contemporary with the construction of the church in the 13th century. Multiple grave cuts were also discovered in the Nave, although these were disturbed by a Victorian heating system running through the centre of the Nave. Other artefacts recovered included a number of glazed floor tiles possibly associated with a 16th to 17th century floor. A watching brief on service trenches in the churchyard revealed a single brick built tomb, but no other features |
