Small portions of the 19th century make-up deposits and mortar floors within the church tower were recorded in October 2012, during archaeological monitoring of the installation of new services. The deposits provided the bedding layers for an overlying tiled floor, which likely dates to the church's restoration in 1872. {5}{6}
