Description

An excavation was undertaken as a result of conversion of existing building to a Masonic Centre. This work involved lowering the nave by approx. 0.3 metres. Excavation was mainly limited to the depth of the new floor but deeper sections were obtained in a few places. Several phases of use and redevelopment were recorded. <1><2>
