Description
{1} Archaeological observation was undertaken of the construction of an extension adjacent to the north wall of the church, towards the western end. Multiple burials were encountered at varying depths, confirming the presence of unmarked burials in this area. Many of the burials relate to the late medieval and post medieval usage of the graveyard, but two burials had stones placed around the head, an early medieval burial practice that is likely to pre-date the Norman Conquest.
