Abstract: |
NO 31323 51526 (NO35SW 29) A Level 2 standing building survey of a Category B-listed church was undertaken, on 7 August 2017, in advance of its conversion to a private house. The church, constructed in 1783, was substantially modified in 1893, with internal refurbishment in the 1980s and 90s. Originally a simple box-plan, it was extended into a flattened T-shape. The building incorporated medieval features including a statue of John the Baptist and a late medieval aumbry. A church is known to have been dedicated on or near the site in 1242, with nearby cist burials and a holy well suggesting an even earlier foundation was possible. External features included a weather vane dated 1783 and an inscription from 1781, as well as a free-standing burial structure known as the Ministers Aisle, which included incised stones of possible medieval origin. The building fabric was of snecked rubble, harled over all exterior elevations, with concrete render within. The pitched roof was of grey slate. |
