Excavations and potential for survival of below-ground archaeology

No archaeological excavations have taken place.

The building was constructed in 1838; previous use of the land has not yet been researched but it is unlikely that any earlier church existed on this site. All standing fabric and below-ground stratigraphy is therefore likely to date from 1838 to the present day.

The overall potential for the survival of below-ground archaeology in the churchyard is considered low and below the present interior floors is considered to be low.

Exterior:Largely inhumation burials, C19th-C20th.

Interior: Nave of 1838 and Chancel of 1878. Stratigraphy of importance to this period only.

Standing fabric of building 1838 and later.
