Abstract: |
The earliest archaeological features were of probable Anglo-Saxon date and appeared to be of a structural nature. A number of Anglo-Saxon burials succeeded these features. One was accompanied by a willow rod and bead, and was covered by a wooden board; the remainder wren in wooden coffins and all were preserved by water-logging. The early burials were on a different alignment from those that succeeded them and may have been focused on an early church. Further burials, preceding the earliest stone structural remains, followed those of Anglo-Saxon date and must related to a church of which no upstanding remains were found. Traces of lime mortar in the earliest contexts of this series suggest the presence of a stone-built structure, or structures, in the vicinity. The earliest stone structural remains were buttresses and parts of nave walling foundation of probable 12th to 13th century date. This building, assuming it was ever completed, was slightly narrower than the existing 14th century nave. Only a handful of burials occurred between the earliest stone structural remains and the 14th century nave and its buttresses. Extensive sequences of burials post-dated the construction of the extant 14th century nave. the latest deposits encountered related principally to scaffolding post holes and modern surfaces.
