Abstract:		 Archaeological recording was carried out by Historic Environment Projects on behalf of the Revd Canon Graham Minors and the Parochial Church Council during ground works in the churchyard required for the installation of water and gas pipelines at St Petroc's church, Bodmin (SX 07290 67044). St Petroc's Church is a Grade I Listed Building (1355166). It stands on the site of the early medieval monastery of St Petroc's. The current church retains evidence for a church built in the 12th century with alterations and additions in the 15th century. The church underwent major renovations and a partial re-build in the 19th century. . Archaeological deposits were encountered to a depth of 1.2m. No evidence for the early medieval ecclesiastical site was discovered. Details of forty four graves were recorded. The burials were mixed, consisting of adults, and children. Six of the burials proved to be within coffins. The rest were shroud burials. One burial was possibly that of a priest. Six distinct groups of graves probably representing family burial plots were observed. No direct dating evidence for the graves was obtained. Shroud burials are more likely to be of 15th to 17th century date. It is noted that family groups of graves become common during the post-Reformation, Tudor period (16th century), whilst coffin burials became common in the 18th century. The churchyard was closed to burials in 1849. All human remains were re-buried. A culvert was recorded to the northwest of St Guron's Well that may be part of the water system associated with this feature. It may also be part of the drainage system recorded as having been built in the 16th century or part of a drainage system emplaced in 1817.
