Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Stainburn Taylor Architects at St. Leonard's church, Cotheridge, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 7867 5473; SMR ref 02401). The watching brief was undertaken during the underpinning of a buttress on the southeast corner of the nave to prevent subsidence. A rectangular pit measuring 1.2m by 1m was excavated to a depth of 0.65m below the buttress. The watching brief showed that the buttress had been heavily modified over the years but that the original masonry survived lower down sitting on the bedrock. A skeleton of a small adult was found adjacent to the buttress foundations. The remains had been buried in a coffin with a thin lead lining and this would date the burial to date to the 18th or earlier 19th centuries. |
