Description
Monitoring and recording during digging of a new drainage trench from inside the church and across the churchyard to the west of the church. Fourteen uncoffined burials were recorded. The burials could not be dated, but three burials under the floor of the South West Vestry appear to pre-date its building in the late sixteenth century.
