Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A series of archaeological excavations were carried out at the church in 1999 during internal refurbishment of the church and the formation of foundations for a new entrance building. The investigations revealed new evidence for Saxon occupation on the site in the form of a series of eight inhumation burials within charcoal-lined graves. A small `island' of probable Saxon occupation surface was exposed within the nave of the church while a fragment of tenth-century cross-shaft with carved `knotwork' decoration was recovered from within the masonry of the south nave wall. Little evidence was retrieved for the layout of the early church. However it was established that the fourteenth-century crypt beneath the south aisle was not originally furnished with a third, western bay, the space having formerly been occupied by a lateral stairwell. Evidence for nineteenth-century arrangements was recorded in the form of wall footings, former floor surfaces and a stone-built font base. In addition, a total of forty-eight brick-lined shaft graves and one brick-constructed barrel vault, all of eighteenth- and early- to mid-nineteenth-century date, were exposed within the body of the church.
