Abstract:		 The works at St Mary's Church, Stotfold, have comprised the monitoring of the excavation of a number of service trenches and a soakaway in the churchyard, together with the recording of features revealed during works to the floor and walls at the west end of the nave and in the west tower. The groundworks in the churchyard indicated a significant amount of modern disturbance, including the creation of a car park to the north-west of the church, the insertion of modern services and floodlights, and by tree planting. A large amount of disarticulated fragments of human bone was recovered from all of the intrusive groundworks, but only one cut grave was revealed. The internal works revealed a number of features of archaeological significance, including wall footings, a possible furnace pit and a number of features to which no clear function could be assigned. The removal of the plaster from the walls to the tower and west end of the nave revealed evidence for rebuilding and a probable blocked doorway. It also appears that the nave may have continued further to the west before the tower was added in the 15th century. Several examples of graffiti were uncovered when the plaster was removed from the tower walls. The majority of these were on the north wall. Most are likely to date to the late 18th or early 19th century. One appears to date to 1818, while another was probably made by Henricus Octavus Roe, the son of the vicar in the late 18th century.
