Description
The report describes the results of an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at St Peter's Church. The churchyard contains a Norman Chapel probably built about c 1150AD. Little of the original building survives above ground, the only 12th century section being the west door. Much of the graveyard is occupied by gravestones dating to the 17th century onwards though burials have probably taken place since the 8th or 9th century AD. Three options for development were considered.
