Abstract: |
Between the 23rd March 2018 and 29th January 2019 Compass Archaeology undertook an archaeological recording project and watching brief in the churchyard of St Mary on Paddington Green, St Mary's Terrace W2 1SJ. The programme of archaeological works comprised the recording of all in-situ headstones and gravemarkers located along the western boundary wall prior to their removal to allow for the dismantling and reconstruction of the aforementioned wall, as part of necessary repair works. The recording was followed by a watching brief to monitor the groundworks associated with this repair. The recording project revealed the markers dated to between 1716 and 1856, the majority commemorating members of the parish. The watching brief monitored the dismantling and reconstruction of the boundary wall. The groundworks were limited to the stripping of the turf to expose the topsoil and as such no features were recorded and no finds recovered. Natural geology was not reached. |
