Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Bedford Borough Council was granted planning permissionto undertake enhancement works in and around the churchyard of St Cuthbert''s Church in Bedford. All groundworks that required monitoring were completed. The groundworks included: ground reduction within the churchyard adjacent to specific areas of the churchyard wall; rebuilding certain sections of the churchyard wall and repairs to the rest of the wall; resurfacing the pavements around the churchyard. The archaeological investigation largely revealed features and deposits associated with the current 19th century church. However, a build-up of deposits up to c. 1.5m thick was observed. This indicated that the level of the churchyard had been deliberately raised in two stages, initially in the medieval period and later in the post-medieval period. Beneath these deposits, early medieval layers were revealed, which were probably soil horizons pre-dating the establishment of the churchyard. Iron working waste was recovered from the early medieval deposits, reinforcing the idea that this area of Bedford was an industrial quarter at that time. In addition, fragments of lime mortar allude to the presence of masonry structures in the vicinity at this time.
