Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on behalf of Adult and Community Services - Social Care, Worcestershire County Council, at St Helen's School House, Fish Street, Worcester (NGR SO 8498 5470; HER ref. WCM 101510) during groundworks associated with redevelopment of the existing building. A number of medieval subsoil layers were recorded below the existing School House and toward the south-east boundary of the former churchyard. At no point were earlier deposits identified; neither Roman or Anglo-Saxon defences, nor the undisturbed, natural matrix. A stone dump, of possible late medieval date, was identified below the floor of the existing building. An unmortared brick base (predating 1784) was also observed. Three further structural features were recorded between the School House and St Helen's church: a stonewall or foundation, a tile floor or hearth and a mortar layer. They may comprise part of the medieval rectory, which was itself rebuilt in 1791, and lay on the site of, and extended north of, the School House. No inhumations were identified and those few disarticulated bones uncovered were retained on site and reintered. Two late 18th-mid 19th century brick vaults were uncovered to the west of the church tower. Following on site discussions, neither was excavated or investigated. The first, a single occupancy vault, was left largely intact and was simply rafted over; the second, a double-size vault, had been disturbed previously, probably in 1987, when it had been backfilled with gravel.
