Full description
There were 33 skeletons, 4 stone coffins, and fragments of mullions and tracery of probably C13th windows, found about 1855 in a stack-yard at Aunby. Almost certainly this is the site of the former Aunby church, which is believed locally to have stood at approximately TF 0220 1459 but there are no surface indications. Material from the demolished church is believed to have been re-used in the construction of the Church of St Wilfrid at Holywell (see PRN 33602). {1}{2}{3}
