Abstract:		 Three archaeological test pits were excavated in the vicinity of the chapel at The Commandery, Worcester. The work was undertaken on behalf of Worcester City Council, who intended to construct new surface drainage in the immediate proximity of the remains of the medieval chapel. The area in question was the subject of an earlier community excavation in 2006 which exposed the remains of a 13th century chapel and a later 14th-15th century vestry. An immediate buffer zone one metre wide had been maintained between the 2006 excavation area and the standing buildings. The proposed drainage works are to be constructed in this area. Test Pits 1 and 2 revealed the base of the late 17th century brick re-facing of the late 15th century medieval structures of the East Wing and Long Chamber. The test pits also exposed medieval lias stonework foundations for these two buildings, constructed directly above the 14th to 15th century vestry which was probably demolished immediately preceding their construction. Test Pit 3 revealed that previous drainage works, in the 19th century, had removed a section of the east-facing 13th century chapel wall immediately adjacent to the Commandery House foundations. Further, it revealed that the exposed late 20th century drainage works were inadequate, allowing for rainwater catchment from the surrounding roofs to discharge into the ground immediately abutting the foundations of Commandery House.
