Abstract:		 Between September 2018 and January 2019 KDK Archaeology Ltd carried out Historic Building Watching Brief of St Michael and All Angels' Church, Shefford, Bedfordshire in order to fulfil a Faculty condition for the restoration of the church. The church is a Grade II listed structure and the tower dates from the 14th or 15th century, although the remainder of the church is predominantly 19th century. The tower was extensively repaired in the 1920s and the 1980s. The present restoration involved the complete removal and replacement of the render on the upper stage, which revealed the original clunchwork, which is a complete contrast to the ironstone with flint/cobble of the lower stage. A variety of repairs ranging from patches of ironstone/flint/cobble or brick to extensive rebuilding of the southwest corner in brick. Each elevation also had short layers of tiles inserted at different levels within the stonework, presumably to act as a basis for the render. Hand made nails had also been hammered into the wall for the same purpose. Putlog holes level with the label stops on the hoodmoulds indicated the break in the building lift in the upper stage. Of particular interest is the change of building material to clunch, which and although it can be suggested that this was due to a generous benefaction in the later stages of building, may well have been for other reasons.
