Abstract: |
Works monitored at St Thomas a Becket's Church, Tugby, Leicestershire, included: installing new drains to carry rainwater from the roof to three new soakaways; excavation of a trench for a water pipe from the street frontage to new kitchen and lavatory facilities; and installing a trench arch drain, with associated pipework. Concurrent work on the building included tower roof and stonework repairs, relaying of the floors in the west end of the nave and aisle, and renewal of the heating system. Parts of at least thirty-four articulated human skeletons were disturbed during the course of the groundworks in the churchyard, along with quantities of disarticulated bone redeposited from earlier disturbance. Other finds were scarce but included a medieval or possibly Roman pottery sherd, a copper alloy button and a small assemblage of coffin nails and handles. |
