Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd in the cemetery of John Wesley's Chapel, City Road, London Borough of Islington, EC1Y 1AU during groundworks associated with the widening and extension of the existing stepped access to the eastern end of the crypt. The investigation was conducted between 15th April and 13th August 2013 and was commissioned by Coniston on behalf of Wesley's Chapel and Leysian Mission and monitored by the archaeological advisor to Islington, Sandy Kidd, of English Heritage. The archaeological remains observed confirm the presence of an untruncated burial horizon at a depth of approximately 2.10m below ground level that contained multiple articulated human burials. These were made in timber coffins that have decayed to a state where they are irretrievable. Remains entirely or partially exposed above the impact height of the new development were exhumed following the issue of a licence from the Ministry of Justice will be reinterred in the cemetery. The disarticulated remains were reburied at the base of the new works. Previous disturbance in the mid-twentieth century may have included limited burial removal as well as the cutting of a banked excavation for the removed staircase. Further disturbance was seen to the cemetery dating from the works that occurred in the 1980s.
