Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation (test pitting) was carried out at St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (SK 75276 19029) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 15th-17th September 2014. Work was undertaken for Buttress Architects Ltd. in order to provide indications of the character of deposits beneath the floor of the church in order to assist in determining the cause of localised subsidence. Six test pits were hand-excavated in the church floor at various points in the nave, north and south aisles and the north and south transept. Archaeological deposits relating to earlier phases of the churches use, the historic fabric of the church itself and burials within the building were revealed. The test pitting was instructive in highlighting the potential for archaeological survival and the depth at which in situ deposits are located, as well as providing structural information to contribute towards the proposed renovation strategy. The archive will be held by Leicestershire Museum Service under the accession number X.A132.2014.
