Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council for the construction of an orangery to the rear of Woburn Coffee House, 21 Market Place, Woburn, Bedfordshire. Woburn Coffee House occupies a 16th-century Grade II listed building in the centre of Woburn and lies close to known archaeological and historic heritage assets of Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. For this reason and in line with national and local planning guidelines a programme of archaeological investigation was carried out during the groundworks for the new orangery. Monitoring of the excavation of the footing trenches for the orangery revealed large amounts of demolition deposits as well as three pits and two walls all above a buried cultivation soil. All features were most likely associated with the extension, remodelling and use of the back of the medieval house during the 19th century and early 20th century. Artefacts retrieved consisted of fragments of post-medieval pottery, brick and tile, and clay tobacco pipe. The presence of an earlier layer of subsoil, directly above geological strata suggests that the ground surface was not significantly reduced before the 19th-century building and demolition activity, potentially preserving earlier archaeological features underneath it. The subsoil contained no dating evidence.
