Abstract: |
The desktop study was commissioned by Van der Steen Hall Architects in connection with an English Heritage grant award for repairs to St Stephen's Church roof and tower. The earliest fabric visible appeared to be of late 13th century date, the church having been largely destroyed in a 17th-century fire having experienced substantial alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The antiquity of the site as a place of worship was indicated by the discovery in 1826 of two columns of what at the time was regarded as a Saxon crypt. In 2004 building recording of the rear wall by Exeter Archaeology identified fabric from pre-1660, the rebuilding of the 1660s, and that of the post-war period. It also identified 17 different types of building stone. [Au(abr)] |
