Abstract:		 In 2006 an archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken at All Saints Church, Landbeach in advance of the construction of a north porch to the church and associated works. The foot print area of the new porch was lowered by 0.30m with a mechanical digger and 1 trench (total length 4m) was partially excavated along the proposed eastern footings of the new porch. The evaluation found no articulated burials in the area lowered to 0.30m but within the trench, 3 rows of burial plots were encountered with dense stratified burials in all the rows. A total of 12 articulated burials were excavated. These burials were encountered between 0.55m and 1.20m below the present ground level (further burials may exist below this level as the natural subsoil was not encountered). A group of 8 medieval pottery sherds were recovered from row 1. Only the extreme southern burial row was lowered to the full depth of the proposed footings. Here, 6 articulated burials were encountered as well as at least 1 disarticulated burial recovered from throughout the layer. This burial row was cut by the foundations of the modern buttress on the northern wall of the church. The contractors decided to change the proposed plans for the development and pile the new porch. 4 square holes measuring circa 1.3 m² were dug at the corners of the proposed structure but only grave earth could be seen within them. Work within the church itself included the temporary removal of approximately half the pews to install pipes. The depth of this work was 0.3m- 0.4m below the present floor level but no archaeological remains were disturbed. The only building remains consisted of the stone wall footings of the northern wall of the church and an east to west wall of unknown date running parallel to the northern wall, along roughly the centre of the northern transept. Victorian brick walls were also seen around some of the medieval column bases and as supports for some of the former pews.
