Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Andrew Morris during groundworks associated with the installation of a new toilet and arch drain at the church of St Mary the Virgin, Yelverton. The external works revealed very little of significance, partly due to the excavations being of insufficient depth to disturb burials. The building rubble encountered in both the topsoil and the subsoil may date from the rebuilding of the tower in 1674. The internal works revealed the footings for the tower which may actually be the original medieval footings for the tower that were subsequently reused in 1674. The internal works also revealed a shallow trough of 18th- to 19th-century date (or later) containing a large amount of ash, suggesting that it had been associated with a stove, either to heat the base of the tower - if it was used as a vestry (before the present vestry was built) - or connected with a Victorian heating system. The northern wall of the chancel contains a number of typically Saxon architectural features (one - possibly two - double-splayed windows, conglomerate quoins and a course of reused Roman brick), which combined with the absence of Norman motifs suggests that the church dates from before 1066. The use of Roman material in the masonry suggests that there may have been a Roman building in the vicinity which was used as a source of materials.
