Abstract:
In June 1975 it became known that the Parochial Church Council of Appleby Magna was about to embark, on the advice of its architects, on a campaign to alleviate the dampness in the outer walls of the church of St Michael and All Angels. A major item in this campaign was to be the improvement of the exterior drainage by the excavation of a trench for a perforated plastic pipe around the walls of the church; the proposed trench was to be approximately 0.50 m. (1 ft 8 in.) wide and up to 1.00 m. (3 ft 3 in.) deep, and dug directly against the north and south aisle walls, following a sinuous route to avoid the buttresses. From the archaeological point of view this proposal constituted a threat of the most serious kind, to which attention has been drawn in a recent publication of the Council for Places of Worship.
