Abstract:		 The PCC of St. Mary’s Church carried out a programme of works aimed to update and maximise the use of the church. These works were carried out in a series of phases, permitted by a succession of faculties. These faculties included a requirement for archaeological works where archaeological deposits are likely to be disturbed. Phase 1 was mainly concerned with electrical and heating improvements, but included the removal of a cross slab, or ledger stone, from the floor of the nave. Phase 2 involved the refurbishment of the north transept to create internal rooms. This necessitated the lowering of the current floor by approximately 0.45m in order to allow for a new floor to be laid. The work was carried out in several stages, the first of which was the excavation of a preliminary trial trench to investigate the depth of archaeological deposits. This revealed that the bulk of the material to be removed consisted of brick sleeper walls for the existing transept floor, and rubble layers associated with its construction. It was decided that all of these features and deposits could be removed by the groundworkers without archaeological supervision. Following on from this, the upper surface of the layers beneath were recorded by an archaeologist, with the area of the trial trench included. Archaeological work carried out within the nave and north transept of St. Mary’s Church, Broadwater, during the course of building works has revealed the presence of six brick vaults, two floor slabs and one cross slab. It also indicated that numerous other burials exist under the floor of the transept, but the building works did not necessitate their disturbance. Other features uncovered included traces of at least three post-medieval tiled floor surfaces, and structures relating to the 19th century use of the transept.
