Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology (WA) in October and November 2018 at St Marys Church House, 1 Squires Walk, Kempsey, Worcestershire (NGR SO 84961 49018). The project was commissioned by Shona Robson-Glyde, of Elmwood Heritage Ltd, on behalf of her client Simon Scott, for works to demolish an existing building and construct a new bungalow on site. Planning permission has been granted subject to a programme of archaeological works (planning reference 18/00105/FUL). The site is located in the historic core of the village of Kempsey. There is evidence of a Minster church established in the village before 799 AD and a Bishops manor house in the 9th Century AD. Previous archaeological investigations undertaken to the northwest of the current site, relating to a Flood Alleviation Scheme, had uncovered Saxon to medieval burials and evidence of occupation. The excavations for existing services and foundation trenches for the new building were archaeologically monitored. A natural soil profile was observed although this had been heavily truncated by modern services, surfacing and landscaping within the garden of the existing house. Once it had been proved that the foundations and groundworks for the previous house had highly truncated the ground, monitoring ceased in this area. No significant archaeological deposits, finds or features were uncovered during the works, demonstrating that the medieval occupation of Kempsey was either not present or had been removed or truncated by the construction of the bungalow.
