Abstract:		 The evaluation was designed to determine, as far as possible, the nature of the archaeological resource on the site and to gather sufficient information as to the extent, character, state of preservation and date of any remains within the site so a decision could be made on the requirement for any further mitigation strategy. The work undertaken involved the examination of early map evidence as well as records of archaeological remains in the area and local historical journals and other publications. This was followed by the excavation of a two trenches designed to cover a representative sample of the area to be developed. No archaeological remains associated with the possible Roman period activity in the vicinity were revealed during the fieldwork; however it is possible that such remains may survive on the site. A total of at least 10 graves were revealed. These were generally aligned south-west to north-east and it was possible to identify four distinct rows of graves in Trench 2. Human bone was identified in all the graves and was cleaned or defined to allow initial assessment of bone identification and articulation. No complete skeletons were revealed as in all cases the graves extended beyond the limits of the trenches. None of the inhumations were removed or disturbed. Notwithstanding that no dateable material was found in the graves, no graves were completely excavated, there is little doubt that, based on the location, alignment and density of graves, the presence of stone-lined burials, and the condition of the bone, that these form part of the medieval churchyard associated with St Lawrence Church. The absence of any structural evidence in the graves tends to confirm the currently conjectured extent of the church further to the north. The medieval churchyard extended over an area with a north-south dimension of at least 48m. It undoubtedly extended from the eastern side of the Stratford Road; although it is most likely that the western limit was lost during road widening work in 1837. The northern limit probably lies close to the property boundaries of 3 Stratford Road and the current work shows the southern limit includes 13 Stratford Road and probably beyond. The eastern extent of the churchyard is less well understood, but the original churchyard may have been approximately 2500m2. .
