Site Event/Activity record ECH6595 - St Wilfrid's Church, Grappenhall, Warrington: Archaeological Evaluation

A programme of archaeological trial pitting was undertaken in April 2018 at the Grade I Listed St Wilfred’s Church, Grappenhall, Warrington, in advance of a proposed extension to the north of the church. A total of four trial pits were excavated within the churchyard, each measuring 1.2m square. They were located within the footprint of the new building, between existing nineteenth century grave markers. Evidence for nineteenth and early twentieth century burials was found comprising human remains and remains of timber coffins and fittings. (1)
