Abstract:		 St Peter's Church, Sharnbrook is a grade I listed building In order to remedy damp problems a scheme was devised which comprised drainage improvements to the tower, south aisle and chancel and internal plaster repairs to the south aisle. The works were permitted by a faculty issued by the Chancellor of the Diocese of St Albans. As the proposed drainage works could impact on potential archaeological remains there was a requirement for a programme of archaeological works. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological works Recording of foundations of the south porch, south aisle chancel took place. Differences in the masonry show that the south aisle and chancel belong to different phases of construction; however, extensive repair works to the masonry of the chancel have obscured the relationship between the aisle and chancel.Later alterations were noted in the foundations and walls. A small amount of disarticulated bone was found during the excavation of the trenches, including a concentration of disarticulated bone. In-situ burials were found during the excavation of the three soakaway pits. Investigation showed evidence of inter-cutting burials with some disarticulated charnel material. The two soakaway pits excavated to the south of the church contained at least two sequential layers of burials. The depth of burials varied between 740mm for the shallowest and approximately 1m for the deepest. Artefacts were recovered from the 'grave earth' deposit during archaeological hand excavation. These were all retained by the church
