Monument record TR 15 NE 1532 - Roman structural foundations, St. Martin's Church
Summary
During restoration work at St Martin's Church, Frank Jenkins undertook limited excavations at the east end. It was seen that the contemporary floor had not survived, but across the east end were flint footings of a wall. The upper courses had been destroyed but it was clear that the wall had been bonded into the tile-built north and south walls of the earliest building.
