Abstract: |
A watching brief took place during improvement works to the public garden within the Church ruins. The site is located on a south-facing slope between Great Tower Street and the Thames and within an Area of Archaeological Potential. The groundworks comprised several shallow excavations for new paved areas, c 0.25m to 0.30m deep. Some of these revealed only recent made ground and soil horizons, but elsewhere exposed brick structures that may relate to the 17th-18th century Church - refurbished after the Great Fire and replaced in 1817. Notable amongst these was a broken and backfilled vault, whilst fragments of a ledger stone, a probable wall tablet and a statuette may also have originated in the old Church. Evidence for the 19th century Church was limited to a few small brick bases and compact deposits forming probable floor make-up/levelling. A brick base to the northeast probably supported a glazed wooden entrance vestibule, although this may have been a later addition. |
