Abstract:		 Building recording took place at St Giles Old Church between October 1992 and February 1993. This included a full photographic survey of the standing remains, production of digitised elevations of all the surviving walls, and trial excavation to establish the preservation and depth of foundations and floor levels. The project provided an unusual opportunity to examine the whole fabric of a small medieval church and the processes which led to its ruination. The 12th century fabric at Downton was constructed to accompany a Norman motte and its associated settlement. Of relatively straightforward clay bonded rubble-stone construction with ashlar dressing, set on pitched stone or gravel chipping foundations, this formed the greater part of the surviving church until this century. Later additions and alterations were made in the 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th centuries. No major refurbishment was undertaken during the 19th century, since a new church was erected a short distance away. After this, the old church was left to fall into decay.[AIP]
