Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning permission for an extension to the existing church hall within the graveyard of St Andrew's Church, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the Parochial Church Council to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. A previous archaeological evaluation (HN805) had been undertaken on the site by the Heritage Network, which revealed the presence of thirteen graves and the base of a structure - possibly a grave monument. Ground conditions on the site were poor but the monitoring programme recovered the remains of an articulated inhumation burial, four further disarticulated burials of uncertain date, and evidence for a graveyard structure of unknown date and purpose. Coffin handles of post-medieval date suggest that some of the remains may have been coffined. |
