Deerhurst 1971–1974: The Society's Research Project on the Archaeology of the English Church
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 November 2011
Extract
An account is given of the first stages of the concerted application of archaeological, architectural, and historical methods to the investigation of the church and its surroundings in the village of Deerhurst, Gloucestershire. It is the intention of the investigators to record, and as far as possible to interpret, all stages of development of the building, from its earliest days down to the present, and to link those developments as closely as possible to the life and history of the surrounding district.
