Abstract:		 In January 2012 and between November 2012 and February 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted historic building recording with monitoring and recording at St Mary's House in Little Oakley, Essex. The work was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to approval for improvements to the building. The investigation added a little refinement to the List description and earlier observations by providing a context for masonry types, such as seen in the difference between the method of construction of the nave and chancel. The nave is dated fairly securely to the 12th century, while other decorative elements point to an enlargement in the 14th century and the tower dates to the 15th century. The church was sold in the 1970s, which was highly damaging to the integrity of the building with fittings stripped out and probably sold or redistributed. Subsequent conversion was piecemeal and uncontrolled using unsympathetic materials and only now is some of this damage being reversed with the introduction of lime mortars. The monitoring and recording carried out over the course of the planned alterations provided some further evidence of the development of the building. The vestry was likely removed in the 18th century, while exposure of the outer wall fabric indicates a number of phases of repair and rebuilding particularly with the use of brick in the 18th and 19th centuries.
