SDO16069 - Church of St Michael and All Angels, Askerswell, Dorset, Archaeological Observations and Recording

‘Terrain Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological observations and recording during trenching works and minor internal digging at the Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, Askerswell, Dorset. The groundworks were part of a scheme to construct new welfare facilities and a new mezzanine floor into the West Tower, and primarily comprised mechanical trenching for new underground services between the west door of the West Tower and Nallers Lane. No human remains or previously unknown graves were noted and no other features, deposits or finds of archaeological significance were discovered. The minor groundworks inside the West Tower did not reveal the crypt rumoured to lie in this location.’
