Abstract:		 The first stage of this excavation consisted of individually marking the wooden floor tiles, so that they could be repositioned at the exact same place after completion of the job. As hard surface were encountered below, contractors had to use heavy duty drill to pierce through top layers. Subsequent deposits were removed using mattock, bar and shovel. The second trial hole, between two pillars of the nave, originally planned as a one square meter hole, was finally more widely opened so that the contractors and architects had a better idea of the state of the joists supporting the actual floating floor. As a gap between the floor and the ground underneath was observed and was declared sufficient for the needs of the further renovation of the floor, no excavation was necessary there. Considering the position of the trial work, in the more recent part of the church, and its limited size, it is no coincidence that no archaeological evidence other than the remains of the pre-Victorian floor were found. However there is still a low potential for the top of graves or pre-Victorian structures to be found during works associated with the new floor. The apparent limited impact of such work will ensure a good preservation of possible earlier remains.
