Abstract: |
Building recording and archaeological monitoring prior to the refurbishment of the south porch to provide toilet facilities. The main element of the work was to examine, draw and record the remains of two 15th century windows that were fully-exposed after the west and east walls were stripped prior to building works. Archaeological monitoring took place on two areas of removed flooring and a service trench around the porch and out into the graveyard. Both windows survive as limestone jambs. The heads and sills were lost when they were blocked in brick in the 18th century to accommodate new, narrow arched windows and the tops of the walls rebuilt in brick. Therefore their original form is unknown. They have since been covered up. A pipe trench was dug along the line of old path in the graveyard but was too shallow to encounter any burials. No finds were recovered or archaeological remains. |
