{4} An archaeological evaluation was carried out in July and August 1990 on a plot of land, 0.06ha in area, to the east of Freeschool Street. Trial trenches were excavated in order to deterrnine the survival of archaeological levels within the area of the church, in the churchyard and in an area to its north. The trial trenches established that cellars had removed all of the archaeological levels over most of the southern half of the site but that part of the graveyard of the church remains, while at the northern end Saxon and medieval deposits survive c 1.8m below the present ground surface.
