| Abstract: |
Four foundation pits for a proposed organ gallery within a church were archaeologically excavated. The oldest part of the church dated from the 12th century, although it had largely been remodelled in the 14th century. It contained a few pieces of re-used Roman brick. The excavations revealed three features of indeterminate date and function, as well as an inhumation which was aligned east to west. The top end of the inhumation, which was not uncovered, appeared to have pre-dated the 13th century tower and the 14th century west wall of the church. From this it was inferred that the pre-13th century west wall of the nave had been situated in a different location. The bones of the inhumation were left in situ. [Au(adp)] |
