Abstract:		 In August 2000, HAT conducted a small evaluation around the tower of St Mary's Church. A basic photographic survey of the areas of works was also completed in advance of the refurbishment, internal re-flooring and external paving of the tower. The tower of St Mary's dated from c.1630, though the nave and aisles of the church were comprehensively rebuilt in the early and later 19th century. It was likely that the present church closely followed the alignment and form of its medieval precursor, although the extent of this had not been archaeologically proven. The evaluation revealed re-deposited burial soil to the west of the tower, while excavations below the floor within the tower revealed a rubble levelling deposit for the existing flagstone floor. No archaeological features were revealed or finds recovered. In February 2001, works commenced on the refurbishment of the tower. The cupboards and clock weight mechanism beneath the tower ladder were removed and the floor lowered by approximately 38cm. This comprised mainly brick and stone demolition rubble in a sandy matrix with one or two fragments of human bone. Two large 17th century ledger stones were exposed beneath the cupboard area, which were photographed before removal. An area of the original walling in the north-west corner was also uncovered, revealed lime-washed ashlar stonework to a height of c.2.5m. [Au(abr)]
