Description
Archaeological investigation of the unused part of the churchyard extension prior to destruction by grave digging. Previous excavations had been carried out in the middle of the nineteenth century by the Hon. Richard Neville when the area was still part of the rectory grounds, but the exact extent of these was not known. Since that time, part of the area has been occupied by graves. Trial trenches showed that much of the remaining area had been disturbed, presumably by Neville. Wo areas of possibly intact archaeology (Areas 1 and 2) were identified.
