Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services during ground reduction for a new single storey extension to the rear of Trinity Restaurant, Chapel Street, Bicester (10/01927/F). A total of seven site visits were made intermittently over the period from 2nd to 8th June 2012. The monitored ground works involved the excavation (by hand) of the footing trenches usually to a depth of c. 0.90m from the present ground level. Grave cuts could be seen at the eastern end of the site, but the burials were not encountered. Three broken headstones were collected from this area of the site, which were probably levelled when the church went out of use and the present paving slabs laid down. At the south western corner of the site a brick built crypt was discovered and the skeleton recorded. A later second brick vaulted crypt was seen in the side of the footing trench, but the skeleton was not disturbed and left in situ. The crypts probably belonged to a married couple perhaps one of the pastors and his wife. |
