St Mary's Church, Bayford, Hertfordshire. Archaeological Watching Brief (OASIS ID: kdkarcha1-188097)

In August 2014 a programme of observation and recording was undertaken during the installation of drainage trenches at St Mary's Church, Bayford, Hertfordshire in order to meet the requirements of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Diocese of St Albans Trenches were excavated to the north and south of the church to relieve the problem of poor surface water drainage and consequent damage to the church fabric. No archaeological features were revealed during the groundworks, but some fragments of late medieval and post-medieval pottery as well as disarticulated bone was recovered. These were retained for re-burial.
