The building is being photographed, surveyed and drawn to create a full, three-dimensional record. The painted central vaulting rib is a curious feature. We believe the rib may originally have formed part of a 12th-century building and that it was reused here, after the earlier building had been dismantled. In the cemetery area, well over 400 medieval burials have been excavated to date. On some skeletons we have noted evidence of injury or disease - including three cases of tuberculosis.
Work continues on the medieval tenements outside the southern boundary of the cemetery.
One building here has walls of chalk and flint, and contains a large hearth. We have collected a sample of burnt material from the floor and are sending it to the laboratory for analysis. This site is maintained by Adaptive Technologies Ltd .
