Abstract

On the 22nd September 2014 Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by ADP Architecture to carry out
an archaeological watching brief on the ground works carried out at Holy Cross and St Mary's Church,
Quainton, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP7499920155). The ground works, which were carried out in
order to resolve a damp problem inside the church, involved the hand excavation of three investigative
trenches (300mm wide) prior to the commencement of ground level reduction in areas on the north and
south sides of the west end of the church. All works were carried out in accordance with a brief set by
the Diocesan Archaeological Adviser (DAA) and a method statement produced by ADP Architecture
(ADP 2014). This document summarises the findings as requested by the DAA; a formal report was not
required.
No human remains (articulated or disarticulated) were revealed within the investigative trenches. The
foundations of the church walls were revealed and details are given below, along with a summary of
other deposits encountered.
