Monument record MDM 132 - Post Medieval burials at extension to All Saints Church, Mendham

The results of the excavation showed that the ground has been completely disturbed by a millennium of grave-digging. Although there are few remaining grave-markers left in this part of the churchyard, the site appears to have been used for burial throughout the 19th century when deeper interments became the norm. These late burials are closely spaced and have removed any potential features relating to the site's early history; either as an Anglo Saxon episcopal site or the shallower graves of a medieval cemetery. Some sherds of 12th to 16th century pottery were identified during the evaluation (S1).
