Full Description

Tiled surface in south aisle included an area against the south wall which had probably survived in situ since C14-15 representing a typical design of the period, yellow and green glazed chequered floor. Heavily worn tiles of the same period had been relaid and these were surrounded by yellow C18th floor bricks. There was possible evidence for a small vault below the floor in the area where large tiles had been laid for ease of removal. Cracked tiles surrounding this were further evidence for the presence of an underlying void. Details in (S1).
