Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A programme of archaeological fieldwork was undertaken at the church of St Michael and All Angels, Houghton-le-Spring, in advance of the installation of an underfloor heating system, which principally involved the excavation of the floors in the nave, crossing and north transept. In addition, parts of the nave wall were recorded when the plaster was stripped to reveal cracked masonry, and a basement space beneath the organ was examined. This article includes a summary of the context of the site before describing the results of the fieldwork and discussing the structural phasing of the church. The findings suggest that the history of the church may be considerably older and more complex than hitherto believed, since it now appears likely that Roman building stones were used in the construction of the medieval church, and features of pre-Norman and Norman provenance were also evidenced. | ||||||||||||||
