Cemetery gives up Saxon secrets

Experts have been investigating part of a new cemetery in Black Bourton - and have discovered a Saxon gilded buckle... She said: "When the council purchased the land, it was required to carry out a trial dig which showed there to be Saxon remains in the area. "As part of the planning approval the council is required to carry out a fuller dig before than land can be used for graves."

This story was a little weak on history, the headline is misleading. Most of the time the writer points out how the plans to get some land to put in a cemetery have been waylaid by events. Oh woe is me.

Yeah, too bad they can't use the land for graves since it turns out people are buried there.

Huh?
