Medieval cemetery update SKELETONS AN INSIGHT INTO MEDIEVAL CHILDREN'S LIVES
Experts hope the discovery of more than 1,000 skeletons could throw new light on the lives and deaths of medieval children.

In one of the UK's largest finds of its kind, archaeologists unearthed 1,340 bodies at a site in the city centre.

Now it has emerged that more than a third of the bodies were those of infants and children.


This ought to be a fascinating project.
