| Abstract: |
Excavations in the north aisle church revealed a row of 18th century gravestones laid flat, presumably during the 19th century re-flooring. Gravestones were also located in the new service trench excavated along the north wall. Some of the gravestones bore early 18th century dates and part of the inscriptions were still legible. It was found that the graves and vaults in the nave and chancel, as well as in the baptistery adjoining had been carried down so much below the foundation of the piers and walls that the grates care had to be exercised to prevent the whole fabric of the church collapsing. No in situ burials were disturbed during the works and no further archaeological or architectural evidence was uncovered. [Au(abr)] |
