| Abstract: |
A study of the archaeological and cultural heritage significance of the church and assessment of implications of a proposed programme of repairs. St Andrew New Church was in Church Lane, with the churchyard to the south, opening into Old Church Lane. Within the churchyard was the Grade I Listed St Andrew Old Church, which was the parish church until it became unable to accommodate the expanding population, in 1884. Since then had acted for a while as a cemetery chapel, but the cemetery was almost entirely neglected and became extensively overgrown. The site of the church could potentially reveal evidence of previous settlement, while the character and date of the supposed earthwork around the churchyard were yet to be determined. From buried remains they could give more evidence as to the origins and development of the present church, to add to the findings of previous investigations. The date of the earliest phase of the building was still unclear. The fabric of the church had the potential to provide information about the date of the original building, the stages of alteration and extension, and the history of its conservation and repair. This depended largely on how much internal render or plaster had been remover and the extent to which previous restorations had removed medieval fabric [Au(adp)]A study of the archaeological and cultural heritage significance of the church and assessment of implications of a proposed programme of repairs.
