Abstract:		 In January 2005 Albion Archaeology was commissioned, to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation during the construction of a new parish room at the Church of St Peter, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire. This involved works adjacent to the north wall of the church. A brief had been issued by the Diocesan Archaeological Advisor (DAA) for a scheme of archaeological investigations (DAA 2004). This stated that the archaeological works should include: Field evaluation of the churchyard within the footprint of the development. Archaeological observation during work undertaken by exhumation contractors and during groundworks required as part of the development. Building recording of the upstanding fabric affected by the development. This programme of observation and evaluation demonstrated that the development area had been subject to significant disturbance due to the excavation and construction of several post-medieval crypts and graves. Despite this, several relatively shallow, unmarked burials were recorded in "islands" between the post-medieval graves. It is suggested that these shallow graves constitute an earlier, possibly medieval, phase of burial within the churchyard. Building recording of parts of the church affected by the development gave an opportunity to understand the development of the northern part of the building. Observations made during this project supported, and extended, the previous work undertaken at this site (Collett-White unpublished). The main findings were that the original 13th and 14th century building had survived in places, although it had been altered several times. The most noticeable alterations dated to the 17th century and the 20th century.
