Monument record 3884/1/5 - All Hallows' churchyard

{1} The churchyard is large, extends to all sides, but was effectively squared off to its current shape pre 1803. It is unlikely to have begun in such a regular plan.

{3} An archaeological watching brief was carried out at All Hallows Church, Wellingborough during the excavation of a trench to locate and repair a broken sewer pipe within the graveyard to the west of the church.Numerous pieces of disarticulated human skeletal remains were recovered during these works. No in situ remains were found and all the recovered bone had been subject to significant postdepositional disturbance. The remains were collected by the archaeologist on site and, at the direction of the vicar, reburied within the trench.
