Full Description
With the rubble layer, removed a rectangular brick burial vault was observed.
A burial vault inside the church and indeed inside the chancel suggests that it belonged to a locally important family. There was, however, no plaque or slab present that identified who the vault belonged to. However, the window in the South wall above the vault depicts four brass plaques recording the deaths of the Evans family, and it is possible that they are the occupants of the vault. The plaques date the internments to the late c.18th.
