Abstract:		 In response to a condition on the planning consent for the repairs to the roof and windows, new drainage and internal reordering of 7 Church Street, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to create a record of those elements of the building that were subject to alteration, and to undertake the archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. It was considered that the present investigation had the potential to contribute to an understanding of the development of no. 7 Church Street and to the origins and development of the settlement of Buntingford from the prehistoric period onwards. The original house was constructed in brick, as a two storey townhouse with attics, in the late 18th century. A single storey extension was added to the east elevation of the original house in the mid-19th century, providing a new entrance into the building, which replaced the former central doorway in the south elevation. A modern two-storey extension was added to the north elevation in the 1980s, possibly replacing an earlier lean-to extension. The house was originally divided into two rooms on the ground and first floors, with the ground floor rooms separated by a lobby leading from the original front door to a doorway in the north elevation. Traces of the former partitions survive in floorboards and ceilings. No evidence for an earlier core to the existing building was found or for an earlier building on the site. No evidence for activity pre-dating the late 18th century was noted. The house was originally divided into two rooms on the ground and first floors. Traces of the former partitions survive in the floors and ceilings. Each of the principal rooms was provided with a fireplace. The groundworks showed evidence for modern ground disturbance, but revealed no archaeological features, deposits or finds.
