Description
At some point prior to 1864 (when a published record of the event appears), excavations happened in the western floor of the church in advance of the construction of a new vestibule at the western end of the church of St John. At that time, a group of medieval grave stones were uncovered and rubbings were produced. The gravestones were then re-buried.
