Abstract: |
A level 2 historic building recording and watching brief was carried out at St. Andrew’s Church, Carlton, Leicestershire. The archaeological work was commissioned by Carlton PCC from University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of a single storey extension to be built against the south-western corner of the church and tower.
The building recording focussed on those areas inside and outside the church which were affected by the proposed works. General photographs were also taken within and around the church. The footprint of the extension was stripped to reveal the foundations of the present church and tower but no earlier foundations were exposed. This suggests that the earlier church either had the same footprint or a smaller one than this. Only ceramic finds from the late 19th century and later were recovered during the excavation work.
Removal of some pew platforms and some wall plaster to the rear of the church did not expose any earlier phases of church building. The exposed stonework indicates that the nave walls are all of one phase which probably relates to the 1764 rebuilding of the church. The creation of a new doorway through the south side of the tower wall also indicated that the base of the present tower dates to the same 1764 rebuilding. |
