According to a book I read published in 1864, the Church at the Castle is built on foundations dating back to the fourth century AD. The author explains that the masonery of the building is also largely from that period. His explanations seem convincing, and he had carried out his research directly on the foundations before the Church was renovated, with him a group of archaeologists commissioned by Gov. in London.
The author, Rev. Puckle of Saint Mary in the Town, Dovorian, seems to have been precise in his views, as the material of the foundations and their lay-out (which he had the posibility of examining first hand) are of Roman style, and the foundations were planned in their measurements exactly for the Church that now stands there.
He also explains that the arch-tiles of the windows are definitely of Roman style, and not Saxon. He states that the builders were Britons using Roman architecture.
Does anyone here have a clue why this theory has been later dropped? To me it sounds convincing.
