HER 815 AREA DESCRIPTION:- The OS map of 1880 shows a graveyard in this location. Given that St Katherine's Church has medieval origins a medieval date for the founding of this graveyard is possible. A watching brief of 2014 identified one undated inhumation burial {Source Work 12927}. 1978 - Watching brief undertaken during road widening along the west side of Matson Lane, Matson, Gloucester. A short length of a roughly cobbled surface, undated, sealed beneath redeposited loam was recorded on the east side of Matson Church (St Katharine’s).
