‘During works to convert the old parish church at Kingston into a dwelling, L. J. Keen observed the removal of floors and the lowering of ground level to accommodate a new concrete floor-slab. All material removed was associated with the 19th-century stone floor and so earlier levels survive undisturbed.’
