Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of the laying of new drainage pipes around the southern and eastern walls of the chancel as well as extending north into the graveyard. Deposits pre-dating the church were identified comprising traces of a Roman building and occupation layers dating to the mid 1st century AD. Sections of the chancel foundations exposed revealed these to be constructed of the same herring-bone work as used within the church walls, and the nave and chancel of the church were found to be contemporary. A number of burials were revealed - these were not associated with any of the extant gravestone and thus were probably earlier than the 1830's with no evidence existing for burials before 1539. The ground to the north of the church was found to have been artificially raised and only one burial was identified in this area. [AIP] |
