Church of St Mary the Virgin, Adderbury, Oxfordshire

Between July and October 2006 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological watching brief at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Adderbury, Oxfordshire (NGR: SP 4708 3535). The work was commissioned by the Parish Church Committee (PCC) of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Fabric Committee, in advance of the removal of existing drainage gullies and their replacement with pipes and French drains, and new connections to existing drainage. The watching brief revealed the presence of a 19th century brick crypt alongside the north wall of the north transept but no evidence for any of the earlier phases of church construction.
