Abstract:		 In response to the requirements of a diocesan faculty, the Heritage Network was commissioned by Aldenham PCC to implement a scheme of archaeological monitoring during the works ahead of the installation of a new kitchen at St. John the Baptist Church, Aldenham, Hertfordshire. The monitoring of the relocation of the Charrington memorial revealed the re-use of the left hand tablet. The original front, now the back of the tablet, was prepared after 1771, the year the Revd Nicholas Charrington died, and before 1777, the year his widow, Elizabeth, died. Following Elizabeth's death in 1777, the tablet was turned round and the original back inscribed with all the names recorded previously, but re-spaced to allow room to add her name at the bottom. The death of her sister in 1788 was also added, in slightly different lettering. The family memorial then extended to a second tablet, recording deaths from 1803 to 1907. The creation of the access holes for water and drainage revealed that the foundation to the mid 15th century north wall is formed of closely packed flint in a strong mortar. Monitoring of the water main and drainage trenches revealed no evidence for archaeological features, deposits or finds. A buried gravestone, covering part of a brick-lined grave, was revealed in the north-eastern corner of a manhole excavated prior to the Heritage Network's involvement in the project. No evidence for the suggested earlier church was encountered during the present project.
