This was in a proper grave with a written headstone...'Here Lyeth...etc' date of birth/death etc so no mystery attached to it. Across the lane was a small chapel so we approached the man in black and told him about it. He had a very modern approach to it all and said that if we notified the authorities they would stop us building for a short while and as it was a mate of his that owned the house he would come and collect the remains and re-bury them for us in the same garden. And that's exactly what he did under a hole a labourer dug under an apple tree. He gave a short prayer and that was it, job done!
It was the headstone that came out of the ground first like something out of a horror movie when the leveller on the Bobcat struck the top corner of it


Sorry that doesn't make any difference...just think if Fred West had just put some pre-stressed headstones with fancy olde worlde writing and false dates on them and made out they were victorian lasses..the local constabulary wouldn't have been able to touch him.

My boss was more interested to find out if she's been buried with anything worthwhile!!!
