SNN102139 - Archaeological recording action at the Church of St Andrew, Old, Northamptonshire, final report

Limited excavation either side of the north porch revealed nave and porch foundations and confirmed that the porch was added to the nave. Burial deposits cut by the western nave and porch foundations were revealed. Dateable artefacts indicate that the porch and eastern end of the nave were built no earlier than the mid fifteenth century. It is possible that part of an earlier and shorter nave, or side wing, was incorporated into the existing nave, though the exact date and nature of this building sequence still requires clarification. No significant archaeological remains were noted during the watching brief.
