Archaeological Findings in 2021


During the internal improvement scheme of works at St Mary's an archaeological watch was undertaken by JB Archaeology Ltd.  

St Mary's PCC should like to thank John Buglass and his team for their work at St Mary's and for producing an informative report.

We should also like to thank JB Archaeology for the following images from the report.
