Couple Discover Anglo Saxon Bodies Buried Beneath Patio
A shocked couple were forced to halt the extension of their home after making the grizzly discovery of four bodies under their patio.
But fortunately for Stephen and Nicky West the bones are actually part of an Anglo Saxon burial ground that's over 1,000 years old.
The couple have lived at their home in Ratley in south Warwickshire for nearly seven years without realising what lurked beneath their patio.
They were having their home redeveloped when one of the builders unearthed the remains.
Stephen, 55, said: "The builder knocked on the window and said 'Stephen, I think there's something you need to see'.
"He had a skull in his hand and I thought 'oh my goodness'."
According to Stephen, at first he thought the bodies were casualties of the battle of Edgehill, which took place nearby at the start of the English Civil War in 1642.
He said: "It was funny because when we started the work on the house people said 'you'll probably find bones in the garden from the civil war'".
In actual fact tests have now revealed that the bones, which were discovered last year, are in fact much older.
After the bodies were unearthed, Stephen and Nicky informed Warwickshire County Council's archaeologists of their find.
Archaeology Warwickshire's manager Stuart Palmer visited the site and an intrigued Stephen and Nicky commissioned him to test the bones.
They were taken away first to Gloucester University and then to York University for testing by experts.
Though the remains were discovered in autumn last year the service has only recently released the test results.
The archaeologists identified the remains of at least four people, including two adult females, a young male and a juvenile aged between 10 and 12.

Skeletal remains of a Roman-era couple reveal the pair has been holding hands for 1500 years, Italy - 02 Nov 2011

United In Death: Skeleton Couple Buried Holding Hands
The skeletal remains of a Roman-era couple reveal the pair has been holding hands for 1,500 years.
Archaeologists renovating a palace in Italy found the skeleton pair of lovers buried in a final embrace.
The man and woman were likely to have been buried facing each other during the 5th and 6th century A.D. and were excavated from a joint tomb inside the palace walls in Modena, central northern Italy.
Archaeologist Donato Labate, the director of the excavation at the archaeological superintendence of Emilia-Romagna said: "We believe that the couple were originally buried with their eyes staring into one another's.
"I have been involved in many digs but I've never felt so moved."
The tender discovery was excavated by archaeologist Licia Diamanti during ordinary construction work in Modena. The skeleton couple belonged to the 11-tomb necropolis.
Archeologists believe the couple were not particularly rich due to the simple nature of the tombs they were buried in and think they may have lived on a farm.
They have also reported that a double grave is extremely rare to find, especially with the clear intent to translate beyond death a close emotional relationship. In this case - the two lovers holding hands.
The archeological dig revealed three layers of scientific interest. The couple were found on the middle layer among a total of 11 burials at a depth of about 10 feet.
It is thought the man's head would have been looking at the woman's when they were buried but the area they were buried in was subject to several floods from the River Tiepido, which may have caused the man's skull to roll away from his female companion.

CHINA-XI'AN-MAUSOLEUM OF EMPEROR QIN SHIHUANG-NEW MUSEUMS-OPEN (CN)
(110930) -- XI'AN, Sept. 30, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Sept. 30, 2011 shows two statues of civil officials at the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
Two new museums for terracotta warrior statues discovered in the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang (259-210 BC) have been completed and opened to the public, local authority said on a press conference Friday. Two sorts of unarmored terracotta warriors, acrobatics performers and civil officials, which were excavated from the burial pits coded K9901 and K0006 respectively in the year of 2000, will be displayed for the first time. Qin Shihuang is known as the first Emperor of China. His mausoleum, discovered with more than 7,000 life-sized terracotta statues in 1974, was later declared as a National Heritage site and a World Heritage site. (Xinhua/Feng Guo) (lj)

Mummified monk wearing Ray Ban sunglasses at a shrine in Koh Samui, Thailand - 15 Jul 2011
The legend is that Phra Khru Samathakittikhun, a wealthy resident of Koh Samui, gave up all his earthly wealth when he became a Buddhist monk, before dying in 1973.
His followers noticed that he was not decaying, so they displayed him in a glass coffin, believing this to be a Buddhist miracle.
The sunglasses were put on him after one of his eyes decayed and fell out, scaring young children who came to worship.
Although he wears Ray Ban sunglasses, visitors are reminded to dress in modest clothing and to remove sunglasses before entering.
The Mummified Monk still has some hair, fingernails and very leathery skin.
