Abstract: |
In September 2010 an archaeological watching brief was conducted for T.M. Browne Ltd after underpinning of the north wall of the Chequers Inn led to the discovery of a grave containing human remains. Archaeological excavation of the grave and the monitoring of all subsequent below-ground works suggested that the burial pre-dated the construction of the present 17th-century building and either formed part of an extension beyond the limits of the current graveyard of the church of St John the Baptist located to the south of Low Road or was a southern outlying burial to a separate grave yard concentrated to the north. The retrieval of fire arms and ammunition buried in close proximity to the grave was entirely coincidental and took place at some point after the first quarter of the 20th century. |
