SDO16224 - St Nicholas Church, Winterborne Clenston, Dorset. Observations and Recording During Construction of New Extension

‘An archaeological watching was carried out by Terrain Archaeology during the groundworks for a new extension at St Nicholas’ Church, Winterborne Clenston in July 2018. The observations revealed part of the foundations of the existing 1840 church. A grave of an adult coffined burial of eighteenth/nineteenth century date, which is likely to pre-date the present church was also found. It was cut by a brick and stone lined drain associated with the present church. Another feature of unknown form, date and function was also found, pre-dating the burial.’
