Abstract: |
Archaeological observation and recording was undertaken within the south aisle of the church. Removal of the existing floor indicated that archaeological deposits lay at a depth of c.0.4m below the present floor surface and therefore below the proposed impact of the development. These archaeological deposits consisted of mortared floors and robber trenches. The floors predated the Victorian renovations of the church, but due to the absence of artefacts remained undated. However, they were likely to have been more recent than the early 14th century when a fire was known to have burnt down part of the church. The robber trench was likely to have been of Victorian date and corresponded to the line of the former southern wall to the south aisle which defined the southern extent of the church prior to the 1872 expansion.
