Abstract: |
In August 2009 Oxford Archaeology East undertook a project at Holy Trinity Church, Great Paxton. The church has a long and interesting history dating back to the late Anglo-Saxon period. During works to improve facilities at the church, the stone floor of the tower was to be lowered. On commencement of the works it was discovered that many of the stones lifted from the floor had been worked and this project was commissioned to record and briefly analyse the stone fragments. There were many fragments of worked stone, much of which was largely un-diagnostic, but there were several fragments of particular interest that probably date back to the early phases of the church. Perhaps the most interesting was a fragment of a coffin slab, thought to pre-date 1275, on which a design had been carved and later defaced. Many of the fragments appear to have been pieces of unfinished stonework, so whilst analysis and dating is difficult, they probably date to one of the periods of major refurbishment at the church. |
