May 2003. Trial Trench. Contexts 1 to 33.
Single trench excavation within footprint of proposed extension to the church building.
Revealed a number of graves. One of the burials lay partly below the foundations for the north wall of the church, below the blocked north door. Two others may pre-date the cut for the foundations, whilst the majority post-date the construction of the church. This sequence of at least one burial below the present church foundation may suggest the presence of an earlier church, either of wood or masonry, although no physical evidence for this structure was found.
See report (S5) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S6).
