Ossuary in the crypt of St Leonard?s Church
These skulls are part of the ossuary in the crypt of St Leonard‘s Church containing 2,000 human skulls, 8,000 thighbones, a few jaw bones and various other artefacts. The exact origin of the bones is unclear, legend has it that they are the remains of Saxon soldiers killed in a battle fought nearby that were dug up when the existing church was built in 1080. A more likely explanation is that they were dug up and stored in the Middle Ages when it was customary to re-use burial plots.
