East Worlington Parish Hall

Hall Floor Investigation

by

Steve studying floor
On Sunday 18th October 2015 some members of the Heritage project group investigated the parish hall floor now exposed after removing the wooden floor and joists . With only one day available before the builders started their work the group took on the role of keen amateur archaeologists to gather as much information as possible about the floor before it was sealed by a layer of concrete.

Finds examination
The investigation team included:

  • Steve Baber
  • Martin Bond
  • Miya Bond
  • Liz Guppy
  • Sandy Haughton

Martin sweeping
The team initially made a general search of the floor looking for objects and studied the exposed areas of the walls to get a feel for their construction.

After collecting various loose objects the team swept dust and rubble from the southern end of the hall to expose what was thought to be the original floor.

They wrote up their finds on the Report on the Parish Hall Floor Investigation page.
