Abstract:
Between March and May 2014 Compass Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief during the redevelopment of the north and west gardens of the Church of St. Andrew Holborn, City of London, EC4A 3AB. The watching brief included monitoring the removal of stone paving and the excavation of extensive trenching for a new drainage system in the area of the north and west gardens. All recorded archaeological layers contained very occasional, randomly re-deposited, human remains as a result of the 19th-century cemetery clearance. During the groundworks only one in situ burial was identified, but because of an early identification it was decided to leave it undisturbed and reroute the drainage trench. The archaeological watching brief identified an earlier church wall running parallel, and at times undrrneath the northern side of the current church footprint. This is thought to possibly be of a Tudor date, though re-using some earlier medieval stonework within the fabric. During the removal of paving in the north garden, two burial vaults were uncovered, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries respectively. The later vault contained five lead coffins, (2 adults and 3 children), belonging to the Bullock family, whilst the older vault remained closed. Both vaults had been attached to the earlier church wall mentioned above.
