Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during drainage works at Strumpshaw Church. Small area of the church footings were exposed and recorded and some deposits; of lime or chalk and of flint, seen in the drain at the south side of the church, were probably waste building material relating to construction or past repair work. A burial, partly exposed immediately east of the north porch, extended westwards below the porch wall and thus pre-dated it. A total of at least fifteen burials also were recorded in two trenches for new soakaways. To the south of the church the burials were below the depth needed for the soakaway and were left in situ. To the north of the church some burials were removed from the ground following recording. Very small amounts of disarticulated human bone were found from most of the excavated trenches with larger amounts coming from the soakaway trenches. A modern cremation urn was disturbed by the work at the south side of the tower. All of the human remains were left in the care of the church from reinterment. Some sherds of medieval pottery and a fragment of 14th to 15th-century brick were recovered from the excavated soils. Repairs to the remains of the rood stair external to the north wall of the church were also undertaken during the project. |
