An archaeological excavation carried out in 2011 found four inhumation burials within the lay cemetery, a brick drain and a pit containing a disarticulated burial. There was no clear dating material but the inhumations were probably medieval or post-medieval in date. The disarticulated burial was thought to represent a re-burial of bones found during works in the 19th century (1)
