Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned by R. J. Pinnock and Son on behalf of the Parochial Church Council to observe building repairs and drainage groundworks at the Church of St Vincent, Newnham, Hertfordshire, and to investigate and record any archaeological remains that were uncovered. The attendance of an archaeologist had been requested by the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor (DAA 2011) as a precaution against the discovery of archaeological remains during the building works. There was little discernable difference between the lower and upper north aisle wall. The base of the wall was not reached and it is not known if more substantial foundations existed below the limit of Trench 1. The monitoring of the groundworks revealed one burial of probable medieval date and the presence of three further graves which do not appear on the church's grave map. The three graves which were parallel with, and equally spaced from, the medieval burial may also be of the same period. A pit of unknown function identified immediately west of the medieval burial is likely to be of medieval date. The finds were retained by the church for re-burial |
