Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the refurbishment of the church and the construction of a new church hall at Akeman Street Baptist Church, Tring, Hertfordshire. The required archaeological works comprised: a survey of the gravestones prior to their relocation and archaeological monitoring and recording during construction of the new church hall. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to survey the gravestones and to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the development works. The majority of the gravestones date from the early 19th century, particularly during the 1830s and 1840s. These graves are located to the south of the two earliest burials which date from 1814 and 1817, probably indicting a northern limit to burials during the first half of the 19th century. A few later graves (1860s-1880s) were created in the north of the cemetery. The latest recorded burial dates from 1905. The archaeological monitoring works recorded details of the 19th century cemetery but found no evidence of any earlier activity on the site. The absence of earlier evidence is not significant because the potential for archaeological observations was very limited with only a small area of relatively clean sub-soil exposed in the north-west of the development area. The design for the new church hall minimised subsurface disturbance through the use of piled foundations and a floor supported on raised ground beams. The 19th century burials remain in situ below the new development.
