Description
The remains of the church were cleared of vegetation in March 1999. Loose collapsed building materials were collected in relation to their findspots. A ground plan and a photographic record (black and white and colour) were made of the standing remains. Although all the elevations were photographed, resources were limited so that it was only possible to make scaled prints of the external faces. These are at 1:20. Some of the photographs of the internal faces have been joined together, although in no case is the fit exact. The scaled photographs are those that include targets and a single horizontal line indicating the horizontal. A resistivity survey was carried out by Peter Cott to try and locate the west wall of the chancel. However it appears that there is too much buried rubble to produce meaningful results. <1>
