Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken during preliminary groundwork in the south aisle forming part of the design for a new mezzanine floor. Following consultation with the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor, and the discovery of several brick walls, the plans were altered in order to suspend the new floor from the existing walls, rather than continue the below-ground work. The work in the south aisle revealed a total of four brick vaults, of which one contained a lead coffin and one contained a wooden coffin. A further brick vault had previously been broken open and the coffin removed and the fourth vault did not appear to contain a coffin. These vaults probably dated to the late 18th-early 19th century. A further brick-built structure was identified, and this may have served as a water tank. The excavation soil from the trenches contained a quantity of loose human bones, which were replaced below the floor. A few coffin fittings dating to the latter half of the 18th century/start of the Victorian period, were recovered from general make-up layers. No structural features relating to the medieval church were observed in the course of the work. [Au(abr)]
