Abstract: |
Excavation undertaken in advance of structural assessment on 12th - 14th century church. The excavation revealed a sequence of medieval and post-medieval deposits. Dating to the medieval period were the foundation deposits of the 12th century west tower. An extensive graveyard soil was also revealed which may have had its origins in the medieval period. Most of the post-medieval deposits were associated with the rebuilding of the chancel in the mid 19th century. These include a foundation deposit that incorporated Roman brick, suggesting that a building of this date stood in the proximity of the site and re-used medieval masonry. Finds comprise Roman brick and medieval and post-medieval floor and roof tiles. Painted window glass was also found that dated to the 14th - 15th century. Later window glass and ironwork was retrieved along with faunal remains. |
