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.
