6 Archaeological work carried out during the construction of a new floor, within the nave and aisles of the church, recorded archaeological finds and features associated with earlier phases of the building. Several sections of wall foundation and a small area of mortar flooring were found which formed part of an earlier, probably 12th-century church. The foundations of two of the piers of the 14th-century nave arcade, along with those of the tower arch and part of the chancel arch were also exposed. Some in situ medieval floor tiles were recorded, together with some medieval graves.
