Abstract: |
Foundations for the south wall of the 17th century church as rebuilt by Wren were observed to the east of the church at 0.25m below ground level. The structure continued below the limit of excavation at 1.40m below ground level. Within the tower remains of what has been interpreted as a disturbed east-west aligned foundation were recorded at 0.75m below floor level. The feature was constructed of large blocks of chalk, ragstone and flint, and may represent remains of the foundation for the original 12th century church. Evaluation pits to the north of the tower revealed truncation of archaeological deposits to between 1.90m and 2.00m below ground level by 19th century activity. A chalk and ragstone feature was observed in pit 1 at the limit of excavation. |
