St Oswald’s Church, Widford, Oxfordshire : Report on Geophysical Survey, March 2007
Author(s): Paul Linford, Louise Martin
Magnetometry and earth resistance surveys were conducted around St Oswald’s Church, Widford, Oxfordshire to investigate both the source of damp affecting the N wall of the church and to identify any archaeological remains in the vicinity. There was no geophysical evidence for land drains, broken or otherwise, to the N of the church but an area of low resistance is thought to be associated with a nearby spring. A concentration of anomalies around the church is indicative of settlement activity, though the responses were not clear enough to suggest to what period they may relate.
