Abstract:		 Watching brief of groundworks for extended car parking. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at St Andrew's Parish Centre, Church Walk, Pershore, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9483 4582; WSM 70016). It was undertaken on behalf of the Worcester Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd, during groundworks to extend a car park, for which a planning application has been granted, subject to conditions. The site lies in the historic core of Pershore, to the east of Pershore Abbey. The development area is located to the rear of the Grade II* Listed St Andrew's Church, which is of 12th century and later date (NHLE 1387033). The Vicarage, an early 19th century Grade II listed brick building (NHLE 1387024) stands to the north-east. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1888 shows the site as part of the gardens to the Vicarage. The watching brief uncovered a cobbled roadway, brick foundations for a cart-shed, a brick well and pump, which are recorded on the 1st edition and 1904 Ordnance Survey maps and later mapping. The cobbled roadway with brick edging was also uncovered during an evaluation of the site in 2015. The cobbled surface had been truncated in places by tree roots. The surfaces and foundations were not damaged or removed during excavations and will remain intact beneath the car park. No evidence of any earlier deposits, features or structures was recorded, nor finds predating the 19th century were recovered during the works. There is the potential for archaeological remains to exist within the site, as undisturbed natural was only observed where tree roots were removed.
