Re-interrment of Ancestors

Immediately to the right of the path are two engraved stones marking the reburials of the bones of christians previously buried in the village.

One contains the Saxon christians whose bones were discovered when the Cricket Pitch car park was being excavated in 1992. Following investigations which showed that they dated from about 900AD, they were were re-interred at a ceremony on All Saints Day 1995.
Information about their discovery and location forms part of our Village trail.

The other stone marks the re-interrment of bones found during excavation in the churchyard to provide drainage for the toilets added in 2009. All human remains found during the digging were repectfully handled and placed in a coffin in this new grave.
