Abstract:		 St Mary and All Saints' Church, Gamlingay, Cambs, monitoring drainage works in churchyard. Part of a substantial mortared stone wall/footing was exposed in the drain trench immediately NE of the north transept. It ran roughly N to S and was seen to a be a continuation of a mass of rubble masonry at the foot of the transept's buttress and rougher stonework at the bottom of the transept's east wall. However, this rougher stonework, and the excavated wall, are slightly misaligned with the wall of the standing building. Perhaps it relates to the original 14th century transept which, documentary evidence suggests, was significantly remodelled to its present form in the 15th century. Footing of the vestry and chancel were recorded. The rest of the recorded evidence was funerary; a total of at least 24 burials were recorded in three trenches for new soakaways, most of them in a trench to the the south of the chancel. Of particular interest in that trench were three burials, clearly of earlier date, which were orientated at 45 degrees to the others. Evidence of coffins was seen in many of the graves but not in the three mentioned and neither set of graves in this trench aligned exactly with the existing church. Finds include two sherds of Late Saxon pottery and two of earlier medieval pottery. A few pieces of medieval and post-medieval pottery were collected. Ceramic building material includes part of a Roman tile, medieval and post-medieval roof tile fragments and a piece of medieval floor tile. There is also a small piece of probably medieval window glass and two pieces of clay pipe stem.
