Abstract:		 Three phases of archaeological investigation - consisting of a test pit evaluation, a watching brief and an investigative trench - were undertaken within the First Court of St John's College, Cambridge, between the 26th of October 2010 and the 21st of March 2011. These works were focused upon the location of the former college chapel, which was demolished in 1869-70. This building had previously served as the chapel of the Hospital of St John the Evangelist, an institution that had been founded upon this site by c. 1200. Although limited in scale, the investigations produced a number of important results. In the first instance, a number of in situ masonry blocks were identified. These included the base of a stair turret, a door jamb and part of a clunch-built foundation, the latter of which most probably formed a footing for stalls within the medieval quire. Overall, it appears that the floor height of the chapel was raised by approximately 0.5m when the building was converted from ecclesiastical to collegiate use in 1514-6. The lower portion of this sequence thus appears to have remained relatively undisturbed when the chapel was demolished, and significant architectural remains of between two and four courses in depth lie preserved beneath the lawn of First Court.
