St Michael and All Angels’ Church, Old London Road, Mickleham

Ground radar survey undertaken Cobham Technical Services to inform decisions on where to re-inter the post-medieval human skeletal remains recovered during the investigation carried out in advance of the construction of the new vestry by PCA in 2009. Six areas within the churchyard were targeted, with five of these producing evidence of anomalies suggestive of either burials or a drain. The results of the survey indicated one area, close to the Lych gate, was archaeologically empty. A watching brief was carried out by S Watson of PCA during the subsequent excavation of the burial plot in this area. The likely top of the burial horizon was exposed and an inhumation was noted, but not disturbed. The area had been disturbed by past episodes of grave digging and a small amount of disarticulated bone and residual medieval and post-medieval finds were revealed.
