Ground Penetrating Radar survey at All Saints Church located two areas which are the possible locations of burial vaults. The first area consists of a weak and fragmented broad crested anomaly with strong discretes covering a small area in the eastern side. The second is a stronger, larger broad crested anomaly in the room adjacent to the nave. This anomaly is seen in only one transect, but it may continue beyond the survey area. Both areas in are smaller than 2m long, so that in order to be large enough to be burial vaults they would need to continue outside the survey area (S3).
