Evidence from cultural debris, including iron-making residues, the disposition of sea defences, the general elevation of the enclosed areas, and the differences of elevation measured across the seabanks to modern marshes, all indicate the reclamation of approximately 350 hectares of tidal wetlands during the later Roman period. There is also evidence for Late Saxon and medieval to early modern activity on the reclaimed wetlands. Au(adp)

A survey was undertaken in 1986 prior to consolidation in 1987--88. The church once contained a lead font dating to c AD 1130--40, now housed in Gloucester Cathedral. The earliest surviving part can be dated no earlier than the late-twelfth or early-thirteenth century. The church has undergone almost total reconstruction since then, perhaps partly during late medieval times, but mostly during the post-medieval period. There are two appendices, `Decorated stone' (95--8) and `Chemical analysis of types 2, 3, and 2/3 mortars' by J Evans & C Parry (98--101). Au(adp)
