Abstract:		 This document reports on an archaeological watching brief conducted in August 2013 during the excavation of two trial pits, abutting the chancel of St. Andrew's Church, Winston, Co. Durham (centred on Grid Reference NZ 14353 16876). The chancel roof and foundations were opened for technical inspection to establish the cause of east wall cracking. The programme has English Heritage Repair Grant approval to stage 1 and this phase of the investigation works was conducted in advance of a remedial scheme to be developed at a later date. St. Andrew's Church is a Grade I Listed Building of 13th-century origin, but with substantial 19th-century restoration. Several fragments of late Anglo-Saxon carved stone exist within the church and it is probable that the church itself has a pre-Conquest foundation. It is possible that the churchyard has been continually used for burial practice since this time. No further archaeological monitoring is required as a consequence of the groundworks reported here. However, considering the high potential for significant archaeological deposits to exist in the area, it is recommended that any future work should be considered on its own merits with respect to the need for archaeological intervention. In particular, articulated human remains, as witnessed close to the south wall of the chancel, should be expected at shallow depths. In addition, dry-stone raft foundations projecting 0.50m beyond the chancel walls should be avoided, where possible, in any future works.
