Abstract: |
October to November 2007. Oxford Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief at St Nicholas Church, Chadlington during renovation and modernisation work. The watching brief carried out within the church revealed a series of limestone footings for wooden beam floor supports of Victorian or earlier date. A tunnel of unknown function was revealed at the eastern end of the central aisle, running below the chancel and down to the crypt / current boiler room. The watching brief on the service trench on the eastern side of the churchyard revealed no in situ archaeology, but within the service trench on the western side of the church 14 medieval earth-cut graves were revealed. From these, 11 skeletons were excavated, analysised and reburied. In addition a probable post medieval, earth cut grave and an 18th - early 19th century shaft grave was revealed but not excavated. |
