Nottinghamshire County Council was informed of the discovery of human remains on 11 May 2017 at a site adjacent to the Cross Street Baptist Church in Arnold. A coffined burial had been uncovered by contractors digging for placement of a tank for a new residential development. The police had ascertained that the remains were archaeological. Two archaeologists attended the site to make a record of the remains and advise on removal and reburial. Only a brief record in situ was made and no excavation was carried out by NCC. This was a single coffined inhumation burial which had been missed during the prior clearance of the known cemetery at the site. The date of the burial is uncertain, but the shirt buttons and known use of the site indicates that it is modern. If the burial is associated with the first chapel on the site, it must be post-1824. The remains represent an adult male. No teeth or pelvic elements were available for ageing but epiphyseal fusion suggests 25+. Stature was calculated at 5’5” to 5’8”. Pieces of the wooden coffin and coffin furniture were preserved, as were shirt buttons from burial clothing and a possible pillow beneath the head.
