Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned by the Millom and District Local History society to carry out a project to investigate Holy Trinity Church, Millom, in order to establish the presence of previously unrecorded inscribed and worked stones of historical and archaeological interest. The project was undertaken in June and October 2022, with local volunteers working under supervision from staff at Greenlane Archaeology. Holy Trinity Church is known to have at least 12th century origins, although fragments of crosses found during renovation work in the late 1920s, indicate that a structure was present there from at least the 10th century AD. The site is located in an extensive area of archaeological remains, dating from at the Neolithic period onwards, and there has been considerable debate about the nature of activity at the church from the Roman period. The recording project involved a systematic investigation of the external elevations and detailed digital photography in order to produce rectified elevations of the building. It identified 20 different inscribed stones, which could be broken down into a number of different types, including post-medieval graffiti and bench marks, but also medieval features such as architectural fragments and mason’s marks, the already known cross fragments, and a number of other features of less certain date. In addition, features relating to the historical development of the building were also identified and recorded. While the project did not reveal any elements that definitely add further evidence for pre-12th century activity, there are plenty of tantalising clues, and it has provided a valuable record that can be built on by subsequent research. It has certainly added to the understanding of the building and shown further evidence for medieval fabric, albeit often reused in later phases.
