The church is situated to the north-east side of the modern village, just off Spring Lane. The church has NE-SW orientation and is located at the west end of a wedge-shaped churchyard. The churchyard is bounded to the north by the Car Colston/Flintham Road, to the south by private dwellings, and to the east by open fields and trees. The removal of the concrete floor and sub-base was carried out by contractors under archaeological supervision. As the depth required to install underfloor heating was not reached, archaeological excavation was needed to further reduce the floor to its desired level of c.175mm in the tower and at the west end of the southern aisle, where a trench measuring 3.40x0.90m was opened along the southern church wall. Two sondages were excavated by hand in the tower and at the west end of the south aisle. Both revealed a construction/levelling layer under the Victorian concrete flooring, which in the tower covered the remains of a possible stone hearth. A stone alignment was exposed but not further investigated along the southern wall of the church, which could possibly relate to an earlier construction phase. A mixed assemblage of finds dating from Medieval to modern was recovered, which included a Nuremburg Rose and Orb Jetton, a potsherd of C13th-15th and fragments of window glass possibly pertaining to the original church.
