Excavations and potential for survival of below-ground archaeologyNo known modern archaeological excavation has been undertaken on the site of this church. Prior to the construction of the church this was probably a green field site, under agricultural use, but its earlier archaeology is unknown. The site of the church has been entirely redeveloped and is now occupied by post-1972 domestic buildings, although the stone wall that fronts onto Woodborough Road appears to be contiguous with the surviving Roman Catholic church next door, and is probably represents the original boundary wall. The overall potential for the survival of below-ground archaeology on the former church site and former churchyard, is considered to be LOW comprising mainly destruction layers from the 1879-1901 churches, construction layers of post-1972 buildings, and below this perhaps evidence of previous use of the site, though this is expected to be fragmentary at best. Some stratigraphy relating to the church may survive below domestic gardens and, more particularly, the sloping boundary area between the Catholic church and the former Emmanuel church site where the Parish Rooms formerly stood. There is no evidence that interments ever took place. |
