Description

In January 2019 Magnitude Surveys carried out a further ground penetrating radar survey of the site. This survey also suggested the presence of voids, most likely representing vaults and burials within the nave. An anomaly interpreted as a possible casket was recorded approximately 5m west of the chancel, whilst a series of complex responses were recorded in the uppermost 1m in the chancel. The external forecourt was also subject to survey. This recorded the presence of a thick layer of rubble, up to1m deep. Isolated responses below and within the rubble layer may represent archaeological features. Taken from On-Site Archaeology DBA 2022. No GP report in the HER.
