Site Event/Activity record ESF23623 - Monitoring - St Mary's Church, 'Tea point' in the Tower, Cratfield

Two visits were made to St Mary's Church, Cratfield to monitor the ground works associated with the installation of a 'tea-point' in the tower. The work required cutting through a suspended wooden floor and the excavation of a trench for a linking drain. Only the excavations within the tower were observed, as the external works which consisted of a shallow drain and the excavation of a cess pit outside the churchyard wall were considered to have limited scope and did not require archaeological monitoring (S1).
