Abstract: |
This reports represents an important step in understanding the impacts of trench arch drainage systems on churchyard archaeology. It was commissioned by Historic England in response to questions about the effects of this drainage method on buried archaeological remains, raised by staff in our regional offices, diocesan and local authority archaeologists. Trench arch drainage (and other forms of non-mains waste drainage) can be useful methods for remote rural churches wishing to install toilets and kitchen facilities where more conventional waste solutions are not available. This helps with the management and future sustainability of historic churches as continuing places of worship, centres for wider community activities and for visitors wanting to enjoy them as heritage buildings. The report offers, for the first time, an estimate on the number of these systems installed in churches and their locations. It also summarises the potential risks posed to buried ecclesiastical structures, human remains and other funerary archaeological evidence. |
