Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during the installation of a lavatory and kitchenette and associated services at Thursford Church. At the 19th-century north aisle a stepped brick footing stood upon a substantial flint footing, possibly of earlier date although this was uncertain; previously the church was not thought to have had an earlier north aisle. At the south-west vestry a small part of a roughly made flint footing was exposed. Within the vestry, and in a narrow channel ('Trench' 12) excavated across the nave and north aisle sub-floor deposits of sandy crushed mortar rubble were seen and, in the nave, part of a brick heating duct was exposed. In situ burials were very slightly exposed in the trench for the trench arch drain and in the service trench near the vestry but they were below the required depth for the drains and were re-covered with soil. Nothing else of interest was seen in the excavated trenches. A new water supply pipe was connected to the mains at Church Lane and ran across the field to the east of the church. A slight concentration of flint and brick rubble near the west side of the field may have related to a building shown on a 19th-century map. Archaeological finds included a few pieces of prehistoric struck flint, sherds of Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds and single fragments of post-medieval roof tile (possibly reused in a kiln), worked limestone and possible fired clay. A small amount of disarticulated human bone found during the work was reinterred in the churchyard.
