Full Description

May 2004. Former Post Office.
Disarticulated human remains (skull, long bones) found in the excavation of service trenches immediately to the rear of the former Post Office. The garden of the former Post Office appears to have encroached upon the churchyard (see for example the tithe map of 1839), and reduced levels to form the garden/patio (hence these remains are now at shallow depth). To be reburied in the churchyard.
D. Gurney (NLA), 7 May 2004.
