Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the demolition of the former police station, dwellings, care home and ancillary buildings, and the erection of a sheltered housing scheme comprising 28 apartments and 4 houses with associated communal facilities and infrastructure at 115-117 High Street, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the fieldwork.The trial trenching comprised the excavation of five trenches They revealed layers and features that mostly contained ceramic building material that is difficult to date more precisely than the late medieval to post-medieval / early modern period. However, most of the features and deposits appear to correlate with details shown on the 1878 Ordnance Survey map. Trenches 1 and 2 revealed a disturbed soil profile. This would appear to correlate with open land with trees (possibly an orchard) shown on the map. In the south-east Trench 4 revealed a series of levelling layers, containing ceramic building material. These deposits may have been associated with the former workhouse which occupied this area, although no trace of the building was identified. There is no indication to suggest that these deposits were associated with earlier activity. The lowest layer within Trench 5 contained artefacts of 19th-century or later date, effectively dating the subsequent layers and postholes within the trench. The postholes are probably part of an outbuilding associated with Abbey Farm.
