NJ 94092 06302 A watching brief has been carried out 14 June– November 2021, during alterations within the N aisle of St Mary’s Chapel. A 19th-century brick heating duct ran beneath the floor. A disturbed grave cut was located in the SE corner of the N aisle and a small amount of disarticulated bone found during removal of 19th-century floor levels. Part of a carved masonry vault boss in the form of a nude female figure was recovered. It is thought to complete a fractured vault boss, a human head, protruding from the NW corner of the chapel.
