The PCC of St. Mary's Church, Washington, obtained a faculty to undertake internal re-ordering works within the church, including the laying of a new floor in the nave, aisles and tower, and the construction of an external extension for WC facilities, with associated service trenches. The internal works required the removal of the current church floor and the lowering of levels within the tower and at the east and west ends of the nave. The faculty included a requirement for the carrying out of an archaeological watching brief while these works were undertaken The foundation of the original wall dividing the nave from the chancel and the remains of an historic floor surface within the tower were revealed, together with the partial remains of four inhumations within the churchyard.
