Abstract: |
In July 2008 ASC undertook an archaeological evaluation in the churchyard of St. Mary's Church, North Marston, Buckinghamshire, ahead of the construction of an extension to the northern aisle of the church. Two trenches were excavated butting up against the church. Each was found to contain the deep disturbed deposits characteristic of old churchyards where burials have been continually deposited over centuries. Four burials were found, two in each trench. Although this high concentration of interments is likely to continue right across the area of the new development, the depth of the skeletons found was below the formation level of the extension floor. A number of stones at the northwestern corner of the north aisle of the church indicate that there was additional reinforcement of the church in this area. It was not clear whether this strengthening was part of the construction of the church or a later repair. |
