Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning permission associated with building works in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Albury, Herts, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the Albury Parochial Church Council to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the groundworks. The site lies within Area of Archaeological Significance no. 102, which defines the medieval core of Albury. The manor is described in the Domesday Book, and the church dates from at least the 13th century. Because of the shallow nature of the groundworks undertaken, no archaeological features were encountered along the line fo the new footpath. No features were observed in the new wall foundations. Two medieval floor tiles were recovered redeposited within the topsoil during the footpath construction. One of the tiles was decorated with an inlaid bird design. This type of decorated floor tile was popular between the 13th and 16th centuries. |
