Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Watching brief within the church tower and graveyard. St Peter's Church is largely built of coursed local skerry which is a very fine-grained dolomitic sandstone with oolitic and shelly limestone used for the carved work such as door mouldings, windows and buttresses. The church principally dates to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries with the chancel built in connection with the foundation of a collage of priests in 1324. The thirteenth century tower is of two stages with a restored fourteenth century doorway in the west wall. The original north and south aisles were demolished in the seventeenth century with the nave undergoing much reconstruction in the eighteenth century. Further restoration work was begun in 1853 included on the tower arch. The vestry was added in the late nineteenth century. Electricity was first installed in the church in 1966 (Southwell and Nottingham Church History Project 2019). Excavations within the church tower revealed a number of deposits relating to a succession of former floors, the earliest potentially dating to the fifteenth century with the latest being of Victorian date, overlaying the thirteenth century tower foundations. The tower arch foundations contained eighteenth century brickwork and evidence that they had been partially re-laid during the restoration of the 1850s. A former flue, later used to house the 1966 electric cable, extended west to east across the southern half of the tower from the nave to a chimney in the south-west corner of the tower. The trenches extending through the churchyard had a basic stratigraphy of two deposits comprising topsoil with grave earth beneath which contained small quantities of fragmentary skeletal material.
