Description: | Remains of a chapel probably Anglo-Saxon and later, incorporating remains of a 4th century Roman building. The sequence appears to be: Phase I: a late Roman square building, possibly a mausoleum or Martyrium; Phase II: A stone chancel and wooden nave built, possibly 600-650 incorporating the Roman building; Phase III: The wooden nave replaced by a stone nave in the 10th or 11th century; Phase IV: The chancel extended in the 13th century, although possibly in the 12th century; Phase V: The nave extended westward in the 13th or 14th century, but after the chancel extension. Mid Saxon sceattas of circa 730, and pennies of Alfred the Great were found during excavation. The chapel was dissolved in 1547 and fell into ruins shortly after. | Subjects: | Building Religious Ritual And Funerary Mausoleum Chapel Burial | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
