Full Description
The infirmary was considered to have been a separate building to the E, in an area which became a cemetery in 1866: "here, not long since, was found a small floor of stones having a raised margin round it, which probably had formed the hearth of the infirmary, as the stones were strongly marked with fire." This was found at a depth of 3ft while making a drain in 1867. The "floor" measured 8ft 1in by 6ft 6in. Part of "Farmery Yards" to the E of the church was taken for a new cemetery in 1866. Prior to this "there was to be seen a spot which seemed to have been moated round and to have contained a building. Byond this, running N and S, was a deep depression in the ground which looked like an important boundary dike; this has long been dry." (1) (2) (3)
