Excavations and potential for survival of below-ground archaeology

No recorded excavations have been undertaken. The C19th rebuildings are likely to have caused very high disturbance to below ground archaeology of the present building’s predecessors, but some earlier stratigraphy may survive in isolated areas. The extent of pre-C19th archaeology in the churchyard is unknown.

The overall potential for the survival of below-ground archaeology in the churchyard is considered unknown and below the present interior floors is considered to be low.

Exterior:C19th. 1858-79.
