Full Description
{1} The present churchyard boundary is shown but may have altered over time.
{2} Archaeological watching brief undertaken during drainage works. The spoil from the trenches contained a small quantity of medieval pottery, two sherds of Saxon pottery and a small number of decorated or glazed medieval floor tiles. On the temporarily exposed lower outer face of the church walls changes in offsets and other constructional details were recorded. Evidence of stone reuse in the church building was found. An undated stone built drain ran along the north side of the church. Parts of two mortar and brick vaults were temporarily exposed: the larger was six brick courses deep with a vaulted brick roof and the smaller, presumably a child's, was four brick courses deep and was covered with large rough-tooled limestone slabs. The larger vault contained a lead casket and traces of a nail decorated wooden coffin. Though undated the vaults are of a nature which suggests a post-medieval date.
{3} Early/ Middle Saxon pottery, medieval pottery and floor tile, watching brief G.Cadman.
