Description

In August 2010 a ground penetrating radar survey was carried out by Dr Anthony Masington of the University of York, within the interior of the church. The survey recorded the probable presence of a series of voids, the majority of which are likely to represent burials, including substantial vaults. There was a distinct concentration of probable burials towards the western end of the church. One of the detected voids, located towards the northwest, is likely to be associated with the 19th century cellared boiler room. Further east, within the chancel, two possible wall foundations were recorded.
