Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on behalf of Thomas Ford and Partners at St Eadburgha's Church, Broadway, Worcestershire (NGR 097362; SMR ref 38359). The floor within the nave of the church was lifted and the area excavated to a depth of 0.45m which did not reach natural deposits. A sequence of deposits containing variable medieval and post-medieval material was identified. These were considered to relate to earlier periods of renovation and alterations to the church as well as the interment of remains. While recovery of three medieval floor tiles are considered to be residual within these later layers, they provided evidence of earlier tiled floors of medieval date within the church. In the western area of the nave, two adjacent grave slabs were revealed. While one grave slab was in poor condition with only a partially legible date of 160*, the other grave slab had inscriptions related to William Hobday's family, with the first inscription dated to 1622. Both grave slabs were similar in size and style with incised borders, suggesting the two were broadly contemporary. However, it is unlikely these slabs are in their original position, as beneath the 160* slab was a brick vault with a terminus post quem date of 1784-1850, indicating that this slab had been reused. Further stone slabs were uncovered to the west of the brick vault and may possibly be grave markers. However they had no evidence of inscriptions and excavation beneath these slabs was limited and did not reveal an associated vault or burials.
