Abstract:
This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring and recording that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during restoration works at St. Moran Church, Lamorran, St. Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The work was undertaken in line with best practice and in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation that was drawn up in consultation with the Senior Historic Environment and Planning Advice Officer at Cornwall Council and the Cornwall Diocesan Advisory Committee. The works at Lamorran Church consisted of the digging of a French drain around the outside of the building and the creation of a new floor in the South Transept. The trench for the French drain exposed the footings of the walls and a single cut feature (possibly a grave) was revealed. The works inside Lamorran Church demonstrated that, prior to the installation of a central suspended timber floor, the South Transept had been floored with granite pavers that were set into an off-white lime mortar. These granite pavers stepped down in front of the elaborate Verman Memorial tablet that stood next to the south wall and that included a reused Medieval cross slab. The works at Lamorran Church will ensure that the environmental conditions within the church, and more specifically around the Verman Memorial, will improve and lead to the lifting and the restoring of this significant memorial tablet.
