Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken at the former St Alban's Church during alterations to the internal layout. The church is likely to be of Saxon foundation, but the present visible fabric is of later periods and several phases. In the 1930s the building became redundant, and has subsequently served several functions, the most recent major refurbishment was in the 1980s when the Maggs daycentre for the homeless was opened. Removal of the existing stud partitions exposed a very small amount of the brickwork lining the interior face of the northern wall. The exposed fabric appeared to be of 18th C brick, it is clear that the development sequence in this area is complex, as other (permanently) exposed brickwork in this area appears to be early 19th C. Where plasterwork covers the lower parts of the internal walls it appears to be 20th C in date and based on a cement-rich render coat. Some areas of 20th C tiling were also present. A larger section of rectangular ceramic tiles was left in situ on the northern wall, this area of tiling partially surrounds a wall monument, and removal would entail some risk of damage to the monument. The temporary removal of some internal partitioning permitted photographic recording of the wall monuments. The removal of a stud partition permitted informal photographic recording of the interior of the western gable end, with a fine Victorian stained glass window that was covered over previously, but which will now be left exposed.
