Note: C14-?C17 carved stones and mouldings from ecclesiastical building now in St Audrey's Hospital grounds may be from here - see MTN Misc.
1995 & earlier: various floor tiles dug up from church taken to David Nuttall for identification - includes C14 glazed yellow flemish tiles and others, probably of local (& later?) manufacture.
