Abstract: |
During July and August 2014 a series of visits were made to St Mary Magdalene Church, Great Hampden, Buckinghamshire to monitor groundworks being carried out for the installation of a toilet block with store room to the west of the church. This included the excavation of a new soak away to the southwest of the church, where the partial remains of five skeletons were uncovered. Several disarticulated remains were found to the west and northwest of the church, but no other archaeological remains or features were discovered. St Mary's Church is located opposite Hampden House, the former manor house that belonged to the Hampden family (who were elevated to become the Earls of Buckinghamshire), which dates from the early 14th century. That aisles were added to the nave in the early 14th century would suggest that the church is older and it is likely that is was built as a manorial church. Today the church and the former manor house stand in isolation as the settlement has moved approximately 1 mile away. |
