SDO21060 - Church of St Mary, Church Street, Beaminster, Dorset: Archaeological Monitoring and Recording during New Toilet and Kitchen Alterations, July-August 2024

‘Terrain Archaeology carried out archaeological monitoring during the excavation of a new drainage trench from inside the church and across the churchyard to the west of the church. A total of14 uncoffined burials was recorded. None of these were dated, but the three burials beneath the floor of the South West Vestry are thought to pre-date its construction in the late 16th century.’
