Abstract:		 Whalley Parish Church commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to undertake an archaeological watching brief within the grounds of St Mary and All Saints Church, Whalley, Lancashire (NGR centred SD 73250 36179). The church is a Grade I Listed Building (NMR No 44507). Due to the high archaeological potential Lancashire County Archaeology Service produced a project brief requesting that prior to any works a photographic record was to be undertaken of the interior, showing the pews and elements of the church which would be affected. The brief also requested that the groundworks were to be carried out under permanent archaeological supervision. The work was undertaken between August and October 2009, in accordance with an OA North project design. The watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of the foundations and service trenches for the new extension which, after alterations to the initial proposals due to unfavourable soil conditions, consisted of a U-shaped strip footing extending 100mm either side of the east and west plinths of the north porch door. The results of the watching brief showed the graveyard to have been used extensively, potentially since the early medieval period for multiple graves, and that, in spite of recent disturbance, there is potential for undisturbed burials at a shallower depth within the graveyard than previously thought, in particular those areas closest to the existing church walls. Therefore, any further groundworks within the graveyard are likely to impact upon the below ground archaeological remains, and should be carried out under archaeological supervision.
