What is recorded here

According to Fr. Shearman human remains were uncovered during the construction of the modern Protestant Church. St Mary's church (1866) was built on the site of an earlier church and is located west Evora Bridge, the site of a great battle. Finds included sword fragments and a jet ring (Shearman 1922, 65). Monitoring (Licence no. 03E0935) of the insertion of a new gas supply to the north of St Mary's church was undertaken. A 55m long slot trench on the higher ground within the church grounds, revealed at least three situ human burials and evidence for disarticlutaed remains (D 0.50m). No excavation of the human remains took place (Scally, G. 2003). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 27 January 2015
