Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation undertaken on behalf of Holy Trinity Church Parish Office at Holy Trinity Church, Old Town, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire (NGR SP 2010 5428). The investigations comprised three trenches; two outside the south wall of the south aisle adjacent to the buttresses, and the third outside the south-east corner of the chancel. The former were excavated to determine the density and depth of burials; the latter was focussed solely on identifying the alignment and depth of existing drainage pipes. Ten inhumations were identified within Trench 1 and seventeen within Trench 2. Of these eighteen were recorded and excavated for osteological assessment along with almost 1,000 fragments of disarticulated bone. In addition a small number of grave cuts were recorded, which were not fully excavated. Within Trench 1 a sequence of eight layers of burial were identified. Within Trench 2 there was a sequence of seven burials. Three of the earliest burials within the trenches were determined to predate the construction of the buttresses on the south side of the church in the early 14th century (c 1312-22), which provides a secure terminus post quem. A number of the upper burials were found to contain traces of decayed coffin wood with degraded metal coffin furniture (tin plates and iron handles), which are of probable Victorian date.
