Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken at St Germain's Church which monitored the excavation of a pipe trench and soakaways associated with drainage works. The watching brief revealed two large Early to Mid Saxon ditches, three undated features, and four undated inhumations. A cut in the base of the medieval church tower was also exposed; it is suggested that this is a former vent associated with a demolished brick structure that has been a coal shed in living memory, but may have performed a heating function at one time. An appreciable collection of Early to Mid Saxon pottery was recovered during the investigation (from both ditches and as redeposited material) and a Late Saxon grave cover was observed built into the wall of the church. This points to the church occupying a site of this period, perhaps an earlier ecclesiastical foundation ot monastery.
