Monument record MDO23097 - Grave, Church House, Wimborne Minster
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
One of two graves encountered during the excavation of foundations for an extension to Church House in 1991. Only the western end of the grave was exposed, and a number of skull fragments recorded. The grave appeared to be aligned east-west. No dating evidence was found,but the burial must be earlier than 1617, when a house is known to have been on the site, and is most likely to be medieval in date.
