Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of the Alvechurch Parochial Church Council at St Laurence's Church, Alvechurch, Worcestershire (NGR ref SP 0265 7245; SMR ref WSM 33545). An area adjacent to the north aisle of the church was stripped revealing a single inhumation of an adult male, dated to at least the 14th century. The burial was un-coffined with no associated bural artefacts. The individual was exposed and recorded, but not removed from its grave. Tjhe remains were then re-interred in situ, Two 19th century burial vaults were also partially uncovered and recorded. These were also preserved in situ. The medieval burial adds further evidence to support the existence of a pre-12th century church on a different alignment to the present church. |
