Full Description
Around 1940. Found in building air raid shelter in garden southwest of church.
Human skeletons.
The bones were taken to an open grave in the churchyard and dropped in and covered with soil; later the coffin for which the grave was intended was laid on top of them. This was to prevent parents of finder knowing there were burials in the garden. Presumably this was once part of the churchyard.
Information from finder (name unknown) to [1].
