Full Description
The churchyard at the Church of St Peter is depicted on the 2nd edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey County Series map. It likely dates to at least the medieval period, when the church it serves was built (see MLI50063). Some earlier Anglo-Saxon burials have been recorded in the area to the immediate east of the churchyard, however, and there may be earlier origins for the churchyard here (see MLI50054). {1}
A large quantity of disarticulated human bone was recovered in April 2014, during the archaeological monitoring of various internal and external works at the Church of St Peter. The fragments were recovered from the extensive graveyard soil deposits recorded outside the church, and from a buried soil layer which lay beneath the stone floor slabs within the church, although no in situ inhumation burials were identified. {2}{3}
