St Mary's church, Barnes, Surrey: archaeological investigations, 1978-83

ROBERT COWIE and SCOTT McCRACKEN

A standing building survey and excavation at the parish church of St Mary's, Barnes, was undertaken between 1978 and 1983 following a fire that had gutted the building. Evidence was recorded for successive phases of building dating from the first half of the 12th century. The earliest church was a rectangular single-celled building. It was built mainly of flint and roughly hewn stone, but its doorway, in the middle of the south wall, had a rounded arch of stone voussoirs. A chancel added to the east end of the original building has three lancet windows in its east wall, and is therefore dated to the early 13th century. The original cell was also extended to the west and a new south entrance built to the west of the original doorway, which was blocked. The western extension may be contemporaneous with the chancel, but might be up to a century later in date. Fragments of white lime-washed wall plaster were decorated with red single-line and double-line masonry patterns, respectively dated to the late 12th and 14th centuries, as well as other motifs. Excavated tile fragments suggest that floors of 'Westminster' tiles and Penn tiles were laid in the church during the late 13th/early 14th century and the late 14th century respectively. The timber roof of the nave (removed after the fire) was of a 15th century type. The west tower was probably built during the last quarter of the 15th century, but could date to the early 16th century. Between 1777 and 1907 the church was gradually extended north during five main episodes of construction. The present church, built to a radical but much acclaimed design in 1982-4, incorporates the medieval walls existing at the time of the fire. The excavation also revealed thirteen brick-lined graves and burial vaults of 18th and possibly early 19th century date. There was also evidence for over 60 burials in the form of graves, skeletons and coffins, most of which were post-medieval in date, but at least three were medieval.
