| Abstract: | Until December 2007 the old parish church of Siggiewi, dating back to the late medieval period, and occupying a central location within the village core, had been in a neglected and dilapidated state for a very long time, so much so that the remaining ruins were almost totally covered with debris and thick vegetation (Plates 2; 9A; 9D; colour plate 2A; Fig. 4 and colour plate 3). While passing by the walled up and highly degraded site, the inhabitants of Siggiewi barely knew that beneath the soil and vegetation were the remains of their first parish church and the cemetery where most of their ancestors had been buried. |
