Abstract: |
A watching brief on the lowering of the floor levels a stub of septaria wall line under the present chancel arch. This may mark the position of an earlier east end, or an earlier and narrower chancel arch. Internally, the lowering of the floor showed no internal offset or foundation, but an external offset of approximately 0.2m was exposed on either side of the doorway (in the porch). Modern work in the nave and chancel did not generally intrude deep enough to breach a layer of mortar and brick dust found found under the hollows in the old floor, but four vaults were exposed in the chancel. These are almost certainly to be associated with the four tomb covers which had recently been stored in the west tower. A number of finds were found under the old floorboards. |
