Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Caroe Architecture Limited on behalf of the Church Commissioners to carry out building recording watching brief during investigation work at the Old Deanery, City of London. This Grade I listed building is the residence of the Bishop of London and lies within the St Paul's Cathedral Conservation Area. The Level 3 recording was undertaken on investigative openings made through pre-existing hatches into ceiling/roof voids and the lifting of floor coverings. The opening-up was carried out by building contractors on the instruction of Caroe Architecture Limited in order to understand the causes of some structural defects in advance of refurbishment. The Old Deanery was built in 1672-73. The opening up works showed that despite many alterations to the core building, much of its historic fabric still survived intact. The floor structures within the first floor drawing room and second floor bedrooms are characteristically sympathetic with a late 17th century date. Evidence of former windows in the south end wall of the 17th century house were identified within the roof and sub-floor voids of the southern covered way extension while the largest alterations to the historic fabric encountered were those associated with 1981 changes for the bank. These included the removal of inner roofs, lower rafters and hips, forming the central well of the historic roof. To accommodate these changes the entire roof was strengthened using a substantial and heavy steel sub-roof with supporting structures tied into the existing chimneystacks.
