St. Mary’s Church, Ripley
Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU, for the Church of St. Mary’s, prior to a reduction in ground level within the north central section of the nave. The earth was removed by hand and revealed roughly faced limestone blocks. These were probably the original foundations of the old south wall of the church, demolished in the 19th century. The excavation recovered chalk and tile fragments and revealed a post hole, which probably all relate to the 19th century demolition and site levelling.
