Description
NRHE: Investigation funded by the Marquis of Westminster.
RCHME: Researches of a more systematic nature in 1861 resulted in the clearing of the eastern arm of the church and of part of the crypt of St. Edward's chapel on the N. (Edward Kyte, W.A.M., VII (1862), 2727; Hutchins III, 325); the trenches were filled in again in 1862.
