Abstract: The assessment was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a church hall on the north side of the Grade 1 Listed St Wilfred's Church that dated from the 12th to 15th centuries. An examination of the relevant part of the churchyard had established that there were up to six marked graves within the footprint of the proposed new building. These were indicated by recumbent stone slabs which all appeared to be 19th century in date. However, it was quite probable that there were other, unmarked and as yet unidentified graves or burials within the development area. No other stonework or foundations could be seen, apart from modern concrete footings presumably associated with now disused heating equipment just beyond the east end of the proposed new building. There was a slight drop in ground level near the church, probably reflecting the clearance works undertaken by Pearson in 1877. The presence of any earlier building structure adjacent to the existing church or elsewhere within the churchyard, although unlikely, could not be discounted at this stage. [Au(adp)]
