IMO, this person was executed and then thrown into the grave.

Another option is if the body was buried in a rush.

That is an incredibly good job of exhumation.

No doubt when Gordan Brown became PM this guy turned over in his grave.

Or perhaps they caught him in the process of rolling over in his grave.

Maybe he was more comfortable on his side.

Maybe they were just being funny!
I teased my husband one night and said,
“When I die - at the viewing have me turned on my
side, because that’s how I like to sleep and I
thought everybody might get a kick out of that”.

Maybe it was a Christian who rolled over in his grave at what has become of Britain.

It looks like a really short person. Not unlike Magnus and Bonosa at St. Martin of Tours in Louisville. Same vintage.

Is it just me or does that skull look enormous in comparison to the body?

It does look big but I think that's normal when the skeleton is in that position.

What’s wrong with having an enormous skull?

Or someone was in a hurry when they buried him.
