Abstract:		 A major campaign of repairs to the ruined medieval church of Ayot St. Lawrence was carried out. An evaluation was required as part of this, which revealed that substantial ruins of the church lay in the centre of the village, where a church had stood for nearly a thousand years. Ruination had been deliberate, due not to the loss of a congregation but to the construction of a dramatic and architecturally important new church in the park of the nearby Hall consecrated in 1779. The redundant old church became a genuine Romantic folly, though whether or not this was deliberate had been the subject of some debate. The analysis identified another phase in the development of the church and together with trial excavations, clarified the extent of earlier phases. In all, eight phases of construction and alteration were identified. [Au(abr)]
