Abstract:		 In January 2010 a watching brief was undertaken at All Saints Church, Loughton, Milton Keynes as part of a faculty from the Chancellor of the Diocesan of Oxford. All Saints is a Grade II* listed building, consisting of a nave, chancel, south chapel and south aisle, south porch and west tower. It was built between the 13th and 15th century and restored in the 19th century. A community room and associated service rooms were added to the north in 1994. The entire floor was removed during the present building works revealing several 19th century brick built burial chambers and tombs, three areas of redeposited burials and one fully articulated burial. The burial chamber in the chancel, which was that of the Smith family, was fully accessible by a set of brick steps. It contained four lead lined coffins and an empty shelf intended for a fifth burial was where the human remains recovered during the building works were re-interred. The burial chamber in the south aisle had been backfilled and had no steps into it. The vault had been truncated to accommodate the joists for the timber floor. It is thought that it belonged to the Hanstrapp family. The individual tombs in the chancel were under ledger slabs dedicated to members of the Crane and Athawes families and dating from the 17th and 19th centuries respectively. The various brick built structures all appeared to date from the early 19th century and their construction clearly caused major disruption to the existing burials within the church. These remains were carefully reburied in three locations, all within timber coffins. The exposed historic fabric of the building revealed little out of the ordinary. The foundations were between 200 and 550mm deep and consisted of the same density of Blisworth limestone as the main walls. The exception to this was the tower arch where the foundations were far more substantial.
