| Abstract: |
In June 2004 a service trench was excavated as part of maintenance work at All Saints Church, Renhold, Bedfordshire. The trench was for a new electrical supply to the church. The work forms part of an overall programme of work began in 2002 when drainage work along the northern side of the building was monitored by Albion Archaeology (Albion Report 2002/55). The work was carried out in two episodes and was monitored on two occasions, on 12th May and 27th May 2004. Excavation of the trenches was carried out by the site contractors with an archaeologist in attendance to examine the trenches when fully excavated The result of the observations demonstrated that the buttresses of the tower are built on foundation rafts extending beyond the footprint of the buttress proper. The soil observed to the west of the tower suggests that this, below superficial surface make-up layers, consists of undisturbed natural stratum. |
