Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at St Mary's Church, Castle Road, Studley, Warwickshire (NGR SP 08137 63758). It was commissioned by David Volrath on behalf of the parochial church council (PCC) for St Mary's Church, in advance of installation of a servery and associated drainage system. The watching brief observations covered a small area of groundworks around the northern and western side of St Mary's Church. Below a modern tarmac surface and mixed made ground were in situ articulated human remains within a graveyard soil: these were left unexcavated and covered over before installation of a drainage pipe. Disarticulated human remains were also collected and reburied on site. Elsewhere, parallel to the western wall of the church tower, was an undated wall foundation built with roughly shaped blocks, possibly the outer edge of a layer of foundations for the tower, or an additional church wall foundation pre- or post-dating the tower. These features were reflective of the expected site character, being consistent with previous archaeology located around the church. |
