Abstract:		 Planning consent was granted for the erection of a new dwelling following the demolition of the former Baptist chapel school room at Little Staughton, Bedfordshire. As the Development Area (DA) lies in an area of archaeological interest including above-ground standing buildings and potential below-ground archaeological remains, a building survey to English Heritage Level 3/4 was carried out to record the school room before its demolition. In addition a programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken during the excavation of the foundations for the new structures. The project was successful in recording the state of the school room before its demolition. The archaeological investigations revealed a garden soil, two drains and a possible brick structure, associated with the school room and caretaker's cottage. The buried brick structure may represent part of an earlier building or an earlier phase of the caretaker's cottage as shown on the Enclosure map of 1803. A roughly north-south aligned ditch was recorded in the foundation trenches. Its date and function are unclear. However, as the Colmworth Road (High Street) was significantly wider in the 18th/19th century than it is today, it is possible that it may represent an early roadside ditch or roadside boundary. The investigations also recorded a large pit with a fragment of late medieval pottery. While this is likely to be residual, it is nevertheless an indicator that medieval activity did take place in the vicinity of the site.
