Abstract:		 A condition placed on planning consent for improvement works at the Church of St Lawrence, Willington, Bedfordshire required the implementation of a programme of archaeological monitoring, the requirements for which were set out by the Diocesan Archaeological Adviser . Albion Archaeology was commissioned on behalf of Willington Parochial Church Council, to carry out the work. Excavation in the base of the tower revealed an earlier stone floor surface, 0.3m below the current one. The floor is likely to have been raised at the same time as the tower''s west door was blocked up, so that it was on the same level as that of the nave. Articulated human remains were revealed at the base of the soak-away trench within grave. At least three individuals appeared to be present. Probable articulated remains were also revealed in the service trench to the east. Their east-west alignment is indicative of Christian burials. They were buried at a sufficient depth to be preserved in situ beneath the services. No direct evidence was found of a predecessor to the current church. However, the close proximity of the cemetery remains to the western end of the church suggests that they are not contemporary, and the pottery recovered from the subsoil, which shows little evidence of re-depositional abrasion, suggests activity on the site from the Saxon period onwards.
