Description

The two phases of evaluation confirmed the location of the medieval churchyard of St Edmund. Later graves had been removed by post-medieval and modern development, but the earliest phases of burial, cut into the natural geology, had survived. Over 200 burials were predicted within the development area and the foundation designs were altered to allow for piling. Ultimately, evaluation identified 13 burials that would be affected.
