Evidence for burials associated with the Church of St. Martin-Le-Grand was recorded in November during the excavation of a small pit for a new standard, close to the centre of modern Market Square. Two successive layers of grey clay loam, sealed by thin crushed mortar deposit were revealed at a depth of about 0.7m. These contained a quantity of semi articulated human bone, which fairly certainly must represent burials made outside the east end of St. Martins Church sometime in the Medieval or early post medieval period. No clear dating evidence was uncovered in association with these burials. (1)
