Description: | PRN 22184
The medieval wooden church with thatched nave and tiled chancel was replaced, in 1820-1, by the present St John the Baptist Church, which stands on, or near the site of its predecessor.{1}{2}{3}{4}
Local opinion is that the present church occupies the precise site of its predecessor. No more conclusive evidence could be obtained.{1}
A watching brief during the construction of a new church porch revealed the foundations of the 1821 church with the wooden planks that formed a raft for it. An early 20th century foundation trench related to a previous porch was also seen. No medieval features were encountered. Fragments of human bone were seen in the graveyard soil but no other finds were noted. {5}{6} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1066 - 1820 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
