St Giles in the Fields Camden London

In July and August 2004, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological
watching brief in parts of the northern, and southern churchyard of St Giles in the
Fields Church, Camden, London (NGR TQ 2996 3026). The work was
commissioned by Molyneux Kerr Architects, on behalf of their client, the Parochial
Church Council, in advance of the laying of new services for the church. Three
service trenches were excavated: Trench 1 in the northern churchyard, Trench 2 in
the eastern churchyard and Trench 3 in the western churchyard. The watching
brief revealed a small quantity of scattered charnel in all three trenches. This was
collected for reburial. An earlier brick wall was discovered in Trench 2. This may
have been associated with the earlier post-medieval church which preceded the
present Georgian structure on the site.
