Summary. An archaeological recording and monitoring project was carried out at the parish church of All Saints, The Street, Feering, Essex, during the groundworks for a single-storey bathroom extension on the northern side of the church, as well as a trench arch, new service connections and excavations within the church’s north aisle and the nave. Fifteen burials were exposed by the groundworks and a quantity of disarticulated human bone was found across the site. Also exposed were the foundations of the church’s north aisle and its nave, and the remnants of a medieval tiled floor within the building, containing an inscribed tile with apotropaic markings. The arch and doorway comprising the north entrance into the church was photographed and recorded.
