Archaeological excavation and building restoration by C.R. Peers (MOW) at St Peter's Chapel, Bradwell-on-Sea, 1919-1920 - EEX385

An archaeological excavation was conducted to locate the Southern porticus of the chapel, but the extent of the work which took place is unclear. The plans drawn in April 1919 have indications for excavations at four points 'ground to be excavated for foundations of… ('porch'/'apse'/'walls'/'walls')' - the latter over the Southern porticus. Inside, the chapel is marked 'ground to be levelled over' and an area in front of the South wall is indicated 'ground to be excavated, levelled and sown with grass seeds'. There are no limits to the proposed excavation areas indicated by the plan and it seems possible that this was left down to the workmen. NRHE data transfer: no new information.
