With contributions by Alan Clapham, Angus Crawford, Nicholas Daffern, Laura Griffin, Robin Jackson, Peter Marshall, Andrew Millard (Durham University), Suzi Richer, and Gaynor Western (Ossafreelance). Illustrations by Carolyn Hunt, Steve Rigby and Laura Templeton. The area to the south west of St Mary’s Church, Kempsey was a historic graveyard. Excavations in 2011 uncovered 46 complete individual burials as well as remains from up to 21 others which were removed before flood defence works went ahead. The extent of the Saxon graveyard was discovered and analysis of the skeletal remains has revealed much about the health and origins of Kempsey’s medieval community.
