Abstract: |
Excavation of pipe trenches, removal of tiles and slabs and all ground reduction was carried out by the site contractors with an archaeologist in attendance to monitor the works. The building works took place in two locations. Within the church, in the area of the Trinity Chapel, repair of around 67m2 of flooring was carried out. This involved the relocation of five memorial stones and the replacement and/or repair of existing Victorian tiles. Outside the church at the west end, the works comprised the removal of paving slabs, limited ground level reduction and excavation of trenches for the rerouting of drainage pipes and the installation of a level access between the churchyard gate and west door. The groundworks associated with the internal church renovations revealed no deposits or features of architectural or archaeological interest. Outside the west entrance, excavations for drainage pipes and the installation of a level access identified a disturbed topsoil deposit in excess of 0.75m deep and a small portion of brick pavement of possible Victorian date. This portion of pavement probably represents the remains of an earlier paved route between the churchyard gate and west door. |
