Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Levitt Partnership on behalf of the Parochial Church Council to oversee groundworks associated with the re-flooring of three areas within the Church of St Nicholas, Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, and to investigate and record any archaeological remains that were uncovered. The attendance of an archaeologist had been requested by the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor (DAA 2011) as a precaution against the discovery of archaeological remains during the building works. The excavation works within the church revealed some interesting aspects of its later history. In particular, it revealed that when the chancel was rebuilt in the early 18th century, the reconstruction may also have included the installation of at least two brick-built vaults. This building activity may have disturbed an earlier coffined burial. The rebuilt brick chancel also appears to have reused the stone footings of an earlier stone chancel, or at least to have incorporated demolished stonework in its foundations. |
