Recent Work at the Chapel of St Laurence, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire

Excavation in September 2000 on the south side of the Anglo-Saxon chapel at Bradford-on- Avon, Wiltshire, showed that the missing south porticus would have been high enough to have had two internal storeys. Because it was built on steeply sloping ground, the chapel's walls needed deep foundations on the south side; observation on the north side confirmed that no footings had been thought necessary below the plinth of the nave and chancel. If the chapel was built by Shaftesbury Abbey after c. 1001 as a shrine for the cult of Edward the Martyr, the lower space in the south porticus might have had a timber-roofed crypt for housing associated relics
