Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological watching brief at the Church of St Matthew, Walsall, West Midlands. The excavation was located at the west end of the North aisle. The excavations revealed two stone walls which were perpendicular to each other. These walls may have been related to gallery structures dating to before 19th Century. The W-E wall had a construction of brick and stone built onto it which may have been later than the lower construction. The stone and brick pad which supported one of the iron stanchions, supporting the ceiling below the north aisle gallery, was also constructed on top of this wall. The other N-S wall did not appear to have any relationship with any present day structures but may have been a foundation to an earlier west gallery. Above these walls were layers of rubble and the fragmentary remains of stone slab floors and these were below the current stone slab floor. |
